Functions ¶
func Equals ¶
func Equals(a, b ContextKey) bool
Equals returns whether the two context keys are equal or not.
Types ¶
type ContextKey ¶
type ContextKey uint64
ContextKey is a non-cryptographic hash that allows to aggregate metrics from a same context together.
This implementation has been designed to remove all heap allocations from the intake in order to reduce GC pressure on high volumes.
Having int64/uint64 context keys mean that we will get better performances from the Go runtime while using them as map keys. This is thanks to the fast-path methods for map access and map assign with int64 keys. See for instance runtime.mapassign_fast64 or runtime.mapaccess2_fast64.
Note that Agent <= 6.19.0 were using a 128 bits hash, we've switched to 64 bits for better performances (map access) and because 128 bits were overkill in the first place. Note that benchmarks against fnv1a did not provide better performances (no inlining) nor did benchmarks with xxhash (slightly slower).
func (ContextKey) IsZero ¶
func (k ContextKey) IsZero() bool
IsZero returns true if the key is at zero value
type KeyGenerator ¶
type KeyGenerator struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
KeyGenerator generates hash for the given name, hostname and tags. The tags don't have to be sorted and duplicated tags will be ignored while generating the hash. Not safe for concurrent usage.
func NewKeyGenerator ¶
func NewKeyGenerator() *KeyGenerator
NewKeyGenerator creates a new key generator
func (*KeyGenerator) Generate ¶
func (g *KeyGenerator) Generate(name, hostname string, tagsBuf *tagset.HashingTagsAccumulator) ContextKey
Generate returns the ContextKey hash for the given parameters. tagsBuf is re-arranged in place and truncated to only contain unique tags.
