Danny Kopping	6bf5b5d8c1	Use a line-buffered logger to deamplify write syscalls (#6954) ... We initialise a global logger in `pkg/util/log/log.go` and use it extensively throughout the Loki codebase. Every time we write a log message, a `write` syscall is invoked. Syscalls are problematic because they transition the process from userspace to kernelspace, which means: - a context-switch is incurred, which is inherently expensive ([1-2 microseconds](https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2018/measuring-context-switching-and-memory-overheads-for-linux-threads/)) - the goroutine executing the code is **blocked** - the underlying OS thread (_M_ in the go scheduler model) is **also blocked** - the goroutine has to be rescheduled once the syscall exits - the go scheduler may need to spawn additional OS threads if all are blocked in syscalls - which can also be expensive This change introduces the use of a line-buffered logger. It has a buffer of [256](https://gist.github.com/dannykopping/0704db32c0b08751d1d2494efaa734c2) entries, and once that buffer is filled it will flush to disk. However, a situation will arise in which that buffer remains somewhat empty for a period of time, so there is a periodic flush mechanism, configured to flush every 100ms. There is also a preallocated bytes slice of 10MB which is reused, to avoid excessive slice resizing & garbage collection. This does mean that we could lose up to 256 log messages in case of an ungraceful termination of the process, but this would need to be precisely timed within the 100ms flushes - in other words, the likelihood is low, and generally we shouldn't `kill -9` any Loki process.	3 years ago
Vladyslav Diachenko	615941234a	Logql Analyzer (#6171) ... * created logql-debugger page and API endpoint that returns information for each stage of the query * added docker-compose setup for local testing * refactored analyzer and added unit tests * removed docs page to release it in a separate PR when back-end API is published * changes structure of results object in response to return origin log line needed for case when only stream selector is sent in query * merged the latest main and resolved conflicts * added endpoint for readiness probe and configured CI * fixed drone.yml discrepancy * fixed method signature * fixed path to Dockerfile * added clean step	3 years ago
