What

This PR introduces a backpressure mechanic to the ingester during WAL replay. This is primarily to allow specifying an upper bound of memory devoted to the replay which will be drained to storage once hit.

This also includes

  • Defaults memchunk schema to v3 in order to take advantage of UncompressedBytes. @slim-bean graciously cut 2.0.1 as a rollback target that supports this schema in the case of unforeseen failures.
  • Adds a new WAL config, ingester.wal-replay-memory-ceiling
  • Adds two new metrics: loki_ingester_wal_recovered_bytes_total and loki_ingester_wal_bytes_in_use

Details

Note, this will cause a drop in the chunk dedupe ratio when it is hit, thus I suggest specifying the limit as high as is tolerable to minimize the chances. Generally, the backpressure drainage should only happen after outages when the WAL is large or after moving scaling down memory budgets.

LGTM.

I'm a bit scared of sync.Cond I need to read more about those.
