What this PR does / why we need it:
This change introduces a very simplified shardable topk approximation through the new vector aggregation
approx_topk
.We use a count min sketch and track all labels not just the top
k
. Since this list can grow quite large the feature is only supported for instant queries. Grouping is also not supported and should be handled by an innersum by
orsum without
even though this might not be the same behaviour astopk by
.The sharding works by turning the
approx_topk(k, inner)
query into the following expression:__count_min_sketch__
is calculated for each shard and merge on the frontend.eval_cms
iterates through the labels list and determines the count for each.topk
selects then the top items.The number of labels tracked on the querier side when evaluating
__count_min_sketch__
is limited by the heap. It does count all values but the ke-value pairs might not be known.Special notes for your reviewer:
