Hi all, I would like to propose a new format for storing bucket counts that can provide substantial improvements for sparse/bi-modal metrics along with changes to histogram_quantile that allow the new format. Both the change and format aren't complex and can be done with backward compatibility. The main breaking change would be adding a new reserved label.
I put together my thoughts in this Google doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aYWDLs15j-rlH2nLyoNimj7SP2RGGw_fe2ST9OqZeDI/edit?usp=sharing> that is open for comments and a rough implementation in this commit <https://github.com/basharal/prometheus/commit/fba202e04f32724a2dcd03d78da35a0a6eda81d3> . Please, take a look and let me know what your thoughts are. Bashar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
