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).

Bjoern Rabenstein ecac33bed0 Conversion back and forth between MetricFamily protobuf and text format.
The idea here is to always go via the protobufs if dealing with the
text format. That won't always be the most efficient way, but it
avoids the multiplicity of conversion routines required for direct
conversion (e.g. text format -> internal representation in the
Prometheus server). The loss of efficiency is acceptable because the
text format should not be used in high performance (high throughput,
low latency) situations anyway.

In that way, the text format stays perfectly isolated from other parts
of the code. To receive text format, just plug the conversion in
before the code path that normally reads protobufs. Correspondingly,
for sending text format, simply replace the WriteDelimited call by a
text.Create call.

Nevertheless, the conversion code itself is optimized for efficiency
and minimized memory churn (which was one of the reason for handcoding
the parser and not using a lexer/parser code generation tool).

Matt T. Proud 7efd34a6f8 Optimize fingerprinting and metric locks.
These are all simple changes we should have caught a long time ago:

1. The hashing mechanism for fingerprint label sets should have not
   allocated new objects for the actual hashing---at least not
   egregiously.  This simplifies the hash writing by just byte-
   dumping the string stream into the hasher.

2. The hashing mechanism within the scope of a metric does not care
   about the value of the label keys themselves but only of the label
   values.  The keys can be dropped from the calculation.

3. The locking mechanism for the metrics should not block on hash
   computation but rather solely on the actual mutation or critical
   section reads.

4. For scalar metrics (i.e., ones with niladic label signatures), we
   should rely on a preallocated map versus requesting a new one
   ad hoc.

This is tested with Go 1.1, so the results may yield other values
for us elsewhere:

In effect, a single metric mutation operation's lookup overhead will
move from Before::iBenchmarkLabelToSignature to
After::BenchmarkLabelValuesToSignature.  This MINIMALLY reduces
1/2 the overhead.  I would be hesitant in reading the memory
allocation statistics, for this was run with the GC still on and
thusly inaccurate per Go benchmarking documentation.

Before::BenchmarkLabelValuesToSignature never existed, so it is not
of any intrinsic value in itself.  That said, the cases that still
rely on LabelToSignature experience consistently a 1/2 drop in time.

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          = <?>

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.

Matt T. Proud 85899b3f4a Extract core Prometheus value decoders.
Bernerd had suggested extracting the value decoders and bundling them
into the client library.  After some reflection, I tend to agree with
this, since we can start breaking the onion of Prometheus itself and
localize the protocol management into its own scope.

A couple of major changes since moving:

- Protocol 0.0.2 has moved to a struct{} so that our tests can perform
  value matching, which cannot be done against function literals.

- Processing now acquires options to dictate behavioral changes of
  metrics bodies.

- Processing no longer closes the stream, thusly returning this to the
  hands of the caller.

- Process() has been renamed to ProcessSingle to better convey that it
  works on complete message bodies.  This paves the way for better
  streaming payload support that the next API version will offer.
