Phase 2-3: Ingestion Layer Implementation - COMPLETE ✅

What Was Implemented

Successfully implemented the complete ingestion layer per Sections 1-2 of the architecture document, including:

  • ✅ Remote write receiver (Prometheus protocol)
  • ✅ Backend forwarding with batching and retry
  • ✅ PromSketch insertion with sketch_targets configuration
  • ✅ Built-in scrape manager (stub for Phase 8)
  • ✅ Comprehensive test suite for all components
  • ✅ Fully functional main server

1. Backend Layer (internal/backend/)

Backend Abstraction Interface

File: internal/backend/backend.go

  • Defined Backend interface for pluggable storage backends
  • Methods: Write(), Query(), QueryRange(), Health(), Close()
  • Supports VictoriaMetrics and Prometheus backends

VictoriaMetrics Client

File: internal/backend/victoriametrics/client.go

  • Implements Prometheus remote write protocol
  • Supports basic auth and bearer token authentication
  • Health check endpoint: /health
  • Query endpoints: /api/v1/query, /api/v1/query_range

Prometheus Client

File: internal/backend/prometheus/client.go

  • Implements Prometheus remote write protocol
  • Supports basic auth and bearer token authentication
  • Health check endpoint: /-/healthy
  • Query endpoints: /api/v1/query, /api/v1/query_range

Backend Factory

File: internal/backendfactory/factory.go

  • Creates backend clients based on configuration
  • Easily extensible for new backend types (InfluxDB, ClickHouse, etc.)

Backend Forwarder

File: internal/backend/forwarder.go

  • Batching: Accumulates samples up to configured batch_size
  • Auto-flush: Flushes every flush_interval (default: 5s)
  • Retry logic: Exponential backoff, configurable max_retries
  • Metrics tracking: samples forwarded, dropped, batches sent/failed

Tests: internal/backend/forwarder_test.go

  • ✅ Batch accumulation and size-based flushing
  • ✅ Time-based auto-flush
  • ✅ Metrics collection

2. Storage Layer (internal/storage/)

Sketch Target Matcher

File: internal/storage/matcher/matcher.go

Supports multiple matching modes:

  • Exact match: http_requests_total
  • Regex: http_.*, node_cpu_.*
  • Label matchers: {job="api"}, {__name__=~"http_.*", status="200"}
  • Wildcard: * (match all metrics)

Tests: internal/storage/matcher/matcher_test.go

  • ✅ Exact metric name matching
  • ✅ Regex pattern matching
  • ✅ Label selector matching (equality, inequality, regex)
  • ✅ Wildcard matching
  • ✅ Invalid regex handling

Partitioning

File: internal/storage/partition/partition.go

  • Consistent hashing by metric name (FNV-1a hash)
  • Configurable number of partitions (default: 16)
  • Ensures same metric always maps to same partition

Tests: internal/storage/partition/partition_test.go

  • ✅ Consistent hashing (same metric → same partition)
  • ✅ Partition distribution across different metrics
  • ✅ Edge cases (single partition, zero partitions)

Storage Manager

File: internal/storage/storage.go

Features:

  • Manages PromSketch instances across partitions
  • Creates sketch instances only for metrics matching sketch_targets
  • Per-target EH parameter overrides
  • Automatic sketch instance creation on first sample
  • Lifecycle management (creation, insertion, lookup)

Sketch instance functions created:

  • avg_over_time (UniformSampling)
  • sum_over_time (UniformSampling)
  • count_over_time (UniformSampling)
  • quantile_over_time (EHKLL)

Tests: internal/storage/storage_test.go

  • ✅ Storage creation with matcher configuration
  • ✅ Sample insertion for matching metrics
  • ✅ Non-matching metrics ignored (no sketch overhead)
  • ✅ Multi-partition distribution

3. Ingestion Layer (internal/ingestion/)

Remote Write Handler

File: internal/ingestion/remotewrite/handler.go

Protocol:

  • Accepts Prometheus remote write at /api/v1/write
  • Snappy decompression
  • Protobuf unmarshaling (using gogo/protobuf for compatibility)
  • HTTP status codes: 204 (success), 400 (bad request), 405 (method not allowed), 500 (internal error)

Metrics:

  • Requests received/failed
  • Samples received
  • Bytes received

Tests: internal/ingestion/remotewrite/handler_test.go

  • ✅ Valid remote write requests
  • ✅ HTTP method validation (POST only)
  • ✅ Invalid/corrupted data handling
  • ✅ Multiple samples and time series
  • ✅ Metrics tracking

Built-in Scrape Manager (Stub)

File: internal/ingestion/scrape/manager.go

  • Placeholder implementation for Phase 8
  • Configuration structure in place
  • Start/Stop lifecycle methods

Ingestion Pipeline

File: internal/ingestion/pipeline/pipeline.go

Orchestration:

  1. Receives remote write requests
  2. For each time series:
    • Converts labels from prompb to Prometheus format
    • Inserts into PromSketch storage (if matching sketch target)
    • Forwards to backend (always, for full retention)
  3. Error handling: logs errors but continues processing

Metrics:

  • Total samples received
  • Sketch samples inserted
  • Backend samples forwarded
  • Errors

Integration Tests: internal/ingestion/integration_test.go

  • ✅ End-to-end ingestion pipeline flow
  • ✅ Matching metrics inserted into sketches
  • ✅ Non-matching metrics forwarded to backend only
  • ✅ Proper label conversion

4. Configuration System

Sketch Targets Configuration

Example (configs/promsketch-dropin.example.yaml):

sketch:
  num_partitions: 16
  memory_limit: "2GB"

  defaults:
    eh_params:
      window_size: 1800  # 30 minutes
      k: 50
      kll_k: 256

  targets:
    # Exact match
    - match: 'http_requests_total'

    # Regex match
    - match: 'http_.*_duration'

    # Label matchers
    - match: '{job="api"}'
      eh_params:
        window_size: 3600  # Override for this target

    # Complex label selector
    - match: '{__name__=~"node_cpu_.*", mode="idle"}'

5. Main Server (cmd/promsketch-dropin/main.go)

Fully Implemented:

  1. Configuration loading and validation
  2. PromSketch storage initialization (with partitioning)
  3. Backend client creation (VictoriaMetrics/Prometheus)
  4. Backend health check
  5. Forwarder initialization and start
  6. Ingestion pipeline creation and start
  7. HTTP server with endpoints:
    • /api/v1/write - Remote write receiver
    • /health - Health check
    • /metrics - Metrics exposure (text format)
  8. Graceful shutdown with signal handling

Startup sequence:

Starting PromSketch-Dropin...
  Server listen address: :9100
  Backend type: victoriametrics
  Backend URL: http://victoria-metrics:8428
  Sketch partitions: 16
  Sketch targets: 3
  Remote write enabled: true
Initializing PromSketch storage with 16 partitions...
Connecting to backend: http://victoria-metrics:8428 (victoriametrics)...
Backend health check: OK
Starting backend forwarder...
Initializing ingestion pipeline...
HTTP server listening on :9100
PromSketch-Dropin started successfully!
