Masked: This package is masked.

Reason: VictoriaMetrics cluster mode (vminsert + vmselect + vmstorage) is shipped in the overlay for completeness and to give a clean upgrade path if a fleet ever outgrows the single-node sibling. It is NOT the recommended default: for ingestion rates below ~1M samples/sec the single-node variant (app-metrics/victoria-metrics{,-bin}) is simpler to operate and uses ~3x less memory. Unmask explicitly via /etc/portage/package.unmask if cluster mode is what you actually want; otherwise the single-node pair stays the daily driver. Same masking rationale applies to both the source-build and prebuilt variants — they are siblings, not alternatives, and the !! blocker between them prevents Portage from picking both at once.

Package Information

Description:
VictoriaMetrics cluster mode — the horizontally scalable variant of the VictoriaMetrics time-series database. The cluster decomposes the single-node binary into three independent services that communicate over RPC and follow a shared-nothing architecture: - vmstorage stores raw samples and serves queries filtered by time range and labels. Each vmstorage node is autonomous; nodes do not communicate with each other. - vminsert receives ingested data and shards it across vmstorage nodes via consistent hashing on metric name and labels. - vmselect runs queries by fanning out to all configured vmstorage nodes and merging the results. Each service can be scaled independently. Cluster mode also adds multi-tenancy (accountID/projectID namespaces in URLs and labels) and optional replication via -replicationFactor. Built from source using the Gentoo Go toolchain. For ingestion rates below ~1M samples/sec the single-node sibling (app-metrics/victoria- metrics) is recommended — it is simpler to operate and has lower per-node overhead.
