Previously, we would emit service usage metrics both with and without a
namespace label attached. This is problematic in the case when you want
to aggregate metrics together, i.e. "sum(consul.state.services)". This
would cause services to be counted twice in that aggregate, once via the
metric emitted with a namespace label, and once in the metric emited
without any namespace label.
This allows for client agent to be run in a more stateless manner where they may be abruptly terminated and not expected to come back. If advertising a per-agent reconnect timeout using the advertise_reconnect_timeout configuration when that agent leaves, other agents will wait only that amount of time for the agent to come back before reaping it.
This has the advantageous side effect of causing servers to deregister the node/services/checks for that agent sooner than if the global reconnect_timeout was used.
Extend Consul’s intentions model to allow for request-based access control enforcement for HTTP-like protocols in addition to the existing connection-based enforcement for unspecified protocols (e.g. tcp).
- Upgrade the ConfigEntry.ListAll RPC to be kind-aware so that older
copies of consul will not see new config entries it doesn't understand
replicate down.
- Add shim conversion code so that the old API/CLI method of interacting
with intentions will continue to work so long as none of these are
edited via config entry endpoints. Almost all of the read-only APIs will
continue to function indefinitely.
- Add new APIs that operate on individual intentions without IDs so that
the UI doesn't need to implement CAS operations.
- Add a new serf feature flag indicating support for
intentions-as-config-entries.
- The old line-item intentions way of interacting with the state store
will transparently flip between the legacy memdb table and the config
entry representations so that readers will never see a hiccup during
migration where the results are incomplete. It uses a piece of system
metadata to control the flip.
- The primary datacenter will begin migrating intentions into config
entries on startup once all servers in the datacenter are on a version
of Consul with the intentions-as-config-entries feature flag. When it is
complete the old state store representations will be cleared. We also
record a piece of system metadata indicating this has occurred. We use
this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time the leader starts
up.
- The secondary datacenters continue to run the old intentions
replicator until all servers in the secondary DC and primary DC support
intentions-as-config-entries (via serf flag). Once this condition it met
the old intentions replicator ceases.
- The secondary datacenters replicate the new config entries as they are
migrated in the primary. When they detect that the primary has zeroed
it's old state store table it waits until all config entries up to that
point are replicated and then zeroes its own copy of the old state store
table. We also record a piece of system metadata indicating this has
occurred. We use this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time
the leader starts up.
This adds a new very tiny memdb table and corresponding raft operation
for updating a very small effective map[string]string collection of
"system metadata". This can persistently record a fact about the Consul
state machine itself.
The first use of this feature will come in a later PR.
Reduce Jitter to one function
Rename NewRetryWaiter
Fix a bug in calculateWait where maxWait was applied before jitter, which would make it
possible to wait longer than maxWait.
This really only matters for unit tests, since typically if an agent shuts down its server, it follows that up by exiting the process, which would also clean up all of the networking anyway.
The subscribe endpoint needs to be able to inspect the payload to filter
events, and convert them into the protobuf types.
Use the protobuf CatalogOp type for the operation field, for now. In the
future if we end up with multiple interfaces we should be able to remove
the protobuf dependency by changing this to an int32 and adding a test
for the mapping between the values.
Make the value of the payload a concrete type instead of interface{}. We
can create other payloads for other event types.
