LGTM

krasi-georgiev · 2018-09-11T11:16:52Z

actually I just thought it will be good to add a test for this with some comments why we don't want empty blocks.

gouthamve · 2018-09-11T12:14:47Z

Yup, a test for this would be good. LGTM otherwise.

codesome · 2018-09-11T18:08:40Z

And the test found out a bug. The compaction of head was going on in an infinite loop, but not sure why.

One workaround that I tested (which worked properly) was that, send the dir of empty block in Plan(). And in compaction delete the blocks which are empty.

Does this sound fine?

krasi-georgiev · 2018-09-11T19:04:45Z

can you add the test so I can check what is happening.

@krasi-georgiev I added the test case.

krasi-georgiev · 2018-09-12T11:23:00Z

https://github.com/prometheus/tsdb/blob/2945db18cafdef58d9c511d4c9f223becb69ac5a/db.go#L374-L376

it never exits the loop because the head range is not reset.
so either

when adding empty sample the head should not change the min/maxtime
or
when meta.Stats.NumSamples == 0 should also reset the head min/maxtime.

I think 1 makes more sense.

gouthamve · 2018-09-12T11:50:51Z

when adding empty sample the head should not change the min/maxtime

We never add "empty" sample :) We can delete samples though. It's kinda hard to set the mintime during delete.

krasi-georgiev · 2018-09-17T17:05:49Z

@codesome still stuck with the test?

codesome · 2018-09-17T17:07:54Z

@krasi-georgiev Stuck with exams 😛. I will be back on it tomorrow.

krasi-georgiev · 2018-09-17T17:09:07Z

Thanks!

EDIT: You can skip this comment. Not relevant anymore.

@gouthamve @krasi-georgiev
The thing that is broken in this PR feels not straight forward to fix (will dig in more), so I have come up with this alternative approach.

https://github.com/prometheus/tsdb/compare/master...codesome:remove-empty-block-in-compact?expand=1

This allows you to write empty block during compact, but removes it immediately after. More like, empty blocks might appear during compact(), but not after it has finished. How does this look?

krasi-georgiev · 2018-09-18T12:21:09Z

I would say lets spend more time in trying to fix the test.

ping me if you run out if ideas and I can also have a look.

codesome · 2018-09-18T12:43:53Z

@krasi-georgiev Actually the test is not broken, the code is broken. I actually found a fix for it (tested, working), I will push it soon.

When number of blocks becomes 0, head is not truncated in reload(). This fixes it. Signed-off-by: Ganesh Vernekar <cs15btech11018@iith.ac.in>

With previous design if a block is not created from parent blocks, the parent block gets undeleted. This adds `Deletable` field in `BlockMetaCompaction` which helps find such parent blocks. Signed-off-by: Ganesh Vernekar <cs15btech11018@iith.ac.in>

lets also update the comment for the Compactor interface

// Compact runs compaction against the provided directories. Must
// only be called concurrently with results of Plan().
// Compaction resulting in an empty block marks all parents as deletable in its meta data..
Compact(dest string, dirs ...string) (ulid.ULID, error)

I see that this could break compactions in subtle ways if the wrong ranges are compacted together. Should return only one block for rewriting tombstones.
