What this PR does:
This change changes multilevel cache backfilling from sync operation to async operation.
Rather than waiting for cache backfilling requests to finish, it now use the async operation processor https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/blob/main/pkg/cacheutil/async_op.go#L10 to backfill in an async way.
Backfilling functions will be added into a Golang channel with a configured size. And an amount of workers pull jobs from the channel and backfills to cache.
Since the channel size is limited, if an operation cannot enqueue, it will be discarded and we increment a metric called
cortex_store_multilevel_index_cache_backfill_dropped_items_total
. It should be fine to discard the backfill operation to prevent high load. As long as the same key is requested by user, the cache can be backfilled eventually.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
