It is not possible to encode a measurement, tag, or field whose last
character is a backslash due to it being an unescapable character.
Because the tight coupling between line protocol and the internal metric
model, prevent metrics like this from being created.
Measurements with a trailing slash are not allowed and the point will be
dropped. Tags and fields with a trailing a slash will be dropped from
the point.
(cherry picked from commit 1388e2cf92)
Line protocol does not require or allow escaping of backslash, the only
requirement for a byte to be escaped is if it is an escapable char and
preceeded immediately by a slash.
(cherry picked from commit 945446b36f)
Metrics needing one extra byte to fit the output buffer would not be split, so we would emit lines without a line ending. Metrics which overflowed by exactly one field length would be split one field too late, causing truncated fields.
(cherry picked from commit a275e6792a)
This changes the current use of the InfluxDB client to instead use a
baked-in client that uses the fasthttp library.
This allows for significantly smaller allocations, the re-use of http
body buffers, and the re-use of the actual bytes of the line-protocol
metric representations.
main reasons behind this:
- make adding/removing tags cheap
- make adding/removing fields cheap
- make parsing cheaper
- make parse -> decorate -> write out bytes metric flow much faster
