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.
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.
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
