Update redirects to use new alias format. (part 1 of 2) (#9881) **Special notes for your reviewer**: @jdbaldry commented on #9717 that the alias format had changed, but we [agreed](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/9717#issuecomment-1594960563) that I could update it in a follow up PR. This is that follow up. Also updating previously merged file moves that used the old alias format. Breaking the alias updates into two PRs to make for smaller reviews.

Loki stores all data in a single object storage backend. This mode of operation became generally available with Loki 2.0 and is fast, cost-effective, and simple, not to mention where all current and future development lies. This mode uses an adapter called [`boltdb_shipper`]({{< relref "../operations/storage/boltdb-shipper" >}}) to store the `index` in object storage (the same way we store `chunks`).

The **chunk store** is Loki's long-term data store, designed to support
interactive querying and sustained writing without the need for background
maintenance tasks. It consists of:

Update doc-validator to v3.0.0 (#9666) ## 3.0.0 ### Added - Structured output for use with [`reviewdog`](https://github.com/reviewdog/reviewdog). You can achieve the original error output by piping the output to the following `jq` expression: `jq -r '"ERROR: \(.location.path):\(.location.range.start.line):\(.location.range.start.column): \(.message)"'`. - Suggestions for simple link fixes. In GitHub, [`reviewdog`](https://github.com/reviewdog/reviewdog) comments these suggestions for convenient replacement. - Support for anchors referring to repeated headings. In the case that a page has multiple headings that share the same text, the renderer appends a zero indexed, numbered suffix to the identifier. For example, when there are two headings that are both "Heading text", the first anchor identifier is `heading-text` and the second is `heading-text-1`. - Error when running `doc-validator` on no files. **Notes for reviewer:** This also updates the `make-docs` procedure. Please ensure you can run `make docs` from the `docs/` directory before approving and merging this PR. --------- Signed-off-by: Jack Baldry <jack.baldry@grafana.com>

The chunk store relies on a unified interface to the
"[NoSQL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL)" stores (DynamoDB, Bigtable, and
Cassandra) that can be used to back the chunk store index. This interface
assumes that the index is a collection of entries keyed by:

values. The hash key becomes the row key and the range key becomes the column
key.
A set of schemas are used to map the matchers and label sets used on reads and
writes to the chunk store into appropriate operations on the index. Schemas have
been added as Loki has evolved, mainly in an attempt to better load balance
writes and improve query performance.

To summarize, the read path works as follows:
