Bjoern Rabenstein 05059724f8 Remove the partition of summaries by HTTP status code and method.
Summaries as implemented cannot be aggregated in a meaningful
way. Partitoning them by status code and method only made sense if we
were interested in the individual latency and size of e.g. GET request
that result in status 503. In general, that's not the case. Most of
the time, the user will be interested in the latency and size of _all_
HTTP requests.

(With future changes to client_golang, we will consider making the
HTTP instrumentation configurable, e.g. to handle the case where the
user is only interested in the latency of successful requests.)

Julius Volz 87a585def8 Adjust various things required for the new storage backend.
- Change Fingerprints to be simple uint64s.
- Deal sensibly with missing metric names.
- Enable finer-grained time resolution.

Merge this concurrently with the merge of the new storage backend into
prometheus/prometheus.

Bjoern Rabenstein 998774096c Make the collectorID independent of the desc order.
This is actually the intended behavior, and (as a nice side effect)
makes things cheaper to calculate.

Also, introduce a separator character to avoid hash collisions
(like label values {"ab","c"} vs {"a", "bc"}).

Apply the same principles to signature.go.

Bjoern Rabenstein 5d40912fd2 Complete rewrite of the exposition library.
This rewrite had may backs and forths. In my git repository, it
consists of 35 commits which I cannot group or merge into reasonable
review buckets. Gerrit breaks fundamental git semantics, so I have to
squash the 35 commits into one for the review.

I'll push this not with refs/for/master, but with refs/for/next so
that we can transition after submission in a controlled fashion.

For the review, I recommend to start with looking at godoc and in
particular the many examples. After that, continue with a line-by-line
detailed review. (The big picture is hopefully as expected after
wrapping up the discussion earlier.)

Bjoern Rabenstein e5dc0421cd Move signature.go and related tests to the model package.
The LabelsToSignature function is now used outside of the prometheus
package, too. Leaving it in the prometheuos package is misleading
design and will lead to circulat import chains soon.

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.

Julius Volz 9b9a115f95 Add method to merge a LabelSet into a Metric with collision avoidance.
Colliding labels can happen e.g. when an exporter job is scraped and already
includes "job" labels for its samples in /metrics. In this case, a
collisionPrefix of "exporter_" is added to the colliding target labels, but the
specifics (the collision prefix) are managed by Prometheus, not the client
library.

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.
