Bjoern Rabenstein 46fc7a3748 Support the new protobuf fields.
- Full support for UNTYPED type.

- Receptive support for timestamp_ms (i.e. the processor can process
  it, but the client library cannot yet create it - which is kind of
  intended as timestamps are meant for other things like federation,
  which will need separate support anyway).

Julius Volz bb957bc145 Change internal metric name label to __name__.
This also adds a check that forbids any user-supplied metrics to start
with the reserved label name prefix "__".

Julius Volz 3ffd7c4a6c Add custom Timestamp type for sample times.
So far we've been using Go's native time.Time for anything related to sample
timestamps. Since the range of time.Time is much bigger than what we need, this
has created two problems:

- there could be time.Time values which were out of the range/precision of the
  time type that we persist to disk, therefore causing incorrectly ordered keys.
  One bug caused by this was:

  https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/367

  It would be good to use a timestamp type that's more closely aligned with
  what the underlying storage supports.

- sizeof(time.Time) is 192, while Prometheus should be ok with a single 64-bit
  Unix timestamp (possibly even a 32-bit one). Since we store samples in large
  numbers, this seriously affects memory usage. Furthermore, copying/working
  with the data will be faster if it's smaller.

*MEMORY USAGE RESULTS*
Initial memory usage comparisons for a running Prometheus with 1 timeseries and
100,000 samples show roughly a 13% decrease in total (VIRT) memory usage. In my
tests, this advantage for some reason decreased a bit the more samples the
timeseries had (to 5-7% for millions of samples). This I can't fully explain,
but perhaps garbage collection issues were involved.

*WHEN TO USE THE NEW TIMESTAMP TYPE*
The new clientmodel.Timestamp type should be used whenever time
calculations are either directly or indirectly related to sample
timestamps.

For example:
- the timestamp of a sample itself
- all kinds of watermarks
- anything that may become or is compared to a sample timestamp (like the timestamp
  passed into Target.Scrape()).

When to still use time.Time:
- for measuring durations/times not related to sample timestamps, like duration
  telemetry exporting, timers that indicate how frequently to execute some
  action, etc.

Matt T. Proud 148fde894b Include summary sample sums and counts if present.
This commit finally unlocks the ability for the Prometheus client
users of the Summary metric type to automatically get total counts
and sums partitioned by labels.  It exposes them through two
synthetic variables, if the underlying data is present.

The following is the base case:

    foo_samples{quantile=0.5}  = <?>
    foo_samples{quantile=0.99} = <?>

The following results with this change:

    foo_samples{quantile=0.5}  = <?>
    foo_samples{quantile=0.99} = <?>
    foo_samples_sum            = <?>
    foo_samples_count          = <?>

Matt T. Proud 03369306e0 Provide Discriminator For Protocol Buf. Streams
This commit introduces an incomplete processor that decodes varint
record length-delimited streams of io.prometheus.client.MetricFamily
Protocol Buffer messages.  The Go client presently does not support
generation of said messages, but this will unblock a number of Java
changes.

Matt T. Proud 10dae5d108 Include relevant server model artifacts.
This commit introduces all relevant server-side artifacts such that the
Result streams can be used by external parties for one-off tools and
such.  This will ultimately better enable us to support additional
wireformats with much more ease.
