It turns out the indexer can only use strings as arguments when
creating a query. Cast `types.CheckID` to a `string` before calling
into `memdb`.
Ideally the indexer would be smart enough to do this at compile-time,
but I need to look into how to do this without reflection and the
runtime package. For the time being statically cast `types.CheckID`
to a `string` at the call sites.
This experiment was brought about because of variable naming
confusion where name and checkIDs were interchanged. Gave CheckID
an Qualified Type Name and chased downstream changes.
This isn't needed/used yet, but it's a good hook to get in there so we
can add more atomic operations in the future. The Go API hides this detail
so that feels like a KV-specific API. The implications on the REST API are
pretty minimal.
Prior to this change, prepared queries had the following behavior for
ACLs, which will need to change to support templates:
1. A management token, or a token with read access to the service being
queried needed to be provided in order to create a prepared query.
2. The token used to create the prepared query was stored with the query
in the state store and used to execute the query.
3. A management token, or the token used to create the query needed to be
supplied to perform and CRUD operations on an existing prepared query.
This was pretty subtle and complicated behavior, and won't work for
templates since the service name is computed at execution time. To solve
this, we introduce a new "prepared-query" ACL type, where the prefix
applies to the query name for static prepared query types and to the
prefix for template prepared query types.
With this change, the new behavior is:
1. A management token, or a token with "prepared-query" write access to
the query name or (soon) the given template prefix is required to do
any CRUD operations on a prepared query, or to list prepared queries
(the list is filtered by this ACL).
2. You will no longer need a management token to list prepared queries,
but you will only be able to see prepared queries that you have access
to (you get an empty list instead of permission denied).
3. When listing or getting a query, because it was easy to capture
management tokens given the past behavior, this will always blank out
the "Token" field (replacing the contents as <hidden>) for all tokens
unless a management token is supplied. Going forward, we should
discourage people from binding tokens for execution unless strictly
necessary.
4. No token will be captured by default when a prepared query is created.
If the user wishes to supply an execution token then can pass it in via
the "Token" field in the prepared query definition. Otherwise, this
field will default to empty.
5. At execution time, we will use the captured token if it exists with the
prepared query definition, otherwise we will use the token that's passed
in with the request, just like we do for other RPCs (or you can use the
agent's configured token for DNS).
6. Prepared queries with no name (accessible only by ID) will not require
ACLs to create or modify (execution time will depend on the service ACL
configuration). Our argument here is that these are designed to be
ephemeral and the IDs are as good as an ACL. Management tokens will be
able to list all of these.
These changes enable templates, but also enable delegation of authority to
manage the prepared query namespace.
Consolidate code duplication and tests into a single lib package. Most of these functions were from various **/util.go functions that couldn't be imported due to cyclic imports. The consul/lib package is intended to be a terminal node in an import DAG and a place to stash various consul-only helper functions. Pulled in hashicorp/go-uuid instead of consolidating UUID access.
