Description Simon Pasquier 2020-10-20 12:47:57 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1889710 +++

Description of problem:
Timers in Go >= 1.14 introduced a degradation with the compression of data on disk (see https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/7976 for details but users reported that block sizes increased up to 50% compared to previous versions). Prometheus for OCP 4.5 (and before) are built with Go 1.13 so the only affected version is OCP 4.6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run Prometheus at least 4 hours and measure the sample compression with:

rate(prometheus_tsdb_compaction_chunk_size_bytes_sum[8h]) / rate(prometheus_tsdb_compaction_chunk_samples_sum[8h])

Actual results:
More than 2 bytes on disk per sample.

Expected results:
Between 1 and 2 bytes on disk per sample.

Additional info:
See https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/7846

--- Additional comment from Simon Pasquier on 2020-10-20 12:45:35 UTC ---

Fixed in https://github.com/openshift/prometheus/pull/61 by bumping Prometheus to v2.22.0.
