* feat(cli): enable to delete config entry from an input file
- A new flag to config delete to delete a config entry in a
valid config file, e.g., config delete -filename
intention-allow.hcl
- Updated flag validation; -filename and -kind can't be set
at the same time
- Move decode config entry method from config_write.go to
helpers.go for reusing ParseConfigEntry()
- add changelog

No config entry needs a Kind field. It is only used to determine the Go type to
target. As we introduce new config entries (like this one) we can remove the kind field
and have the GetKind method return the single supported value.
In this case (similar to proxy-defaults) the Name field is also unnecessary. We always
use the same value. So we can omit the name field entirely.
- 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 provides a user with a better experience, knowing that the command
worked appropriately. The output of the write/delete CLI commands are
not going to be used in a bash script, in fact previously a success
provided no ouput, so we do not have to worry about spurious text being
injected into bash pipelines.
Currently opaque config blocks (config entries, and CA provider config) are
modified by PatchSliceOfMaps, making it impossible for these opaque
config sections to contain slices of maps.
In order to fix this problem, any lazy-decoding of these blocks needs to support
weak decoding of []map[string]interface{} to a struct type before
PatchSliceOfMaps is replaces. This is necessary because these config
blobs are persisted, and during an upgrade an older version of Consul
could read one of the new configuration values, which would cause an error.
To support the upgrade path, this commit first introduces the new hooks
for weak decoding of []map[string]interface{} and uses them only in the
lazy-decode paths. That way, in a future release, new style
configuration will be supported by the older version of Consul.
This decode hook has a number of advantages:
1. It no longer panics. It allows mapstructure to report the error
2. It no longer requires the user to declare which fields are slices of
structs. It can deduce that information from the 'to' value.
3. It will make it possible to preserve opaque configuration, allowing
for structured opaque config.
The json decoder inside of the HCLv1 hcl.Decode function behaves
unexpectedly when decoding generically into a map[string]interface{} as
is done for 'consul config write' pre-submit decoding.
This results in some subtle (service-router Match and Destinations being
separated) and some not so subtle (service-resolver subsets and failover
panic if multiple subsets are referenced) bugs when subsequently passed
through mapstructure to finish decoding.
Given that HCLv1 is basically frozen and the HCL part of it is fine
instead of trying to figure out what the underlying bug is in the json
decoder for our purposes just sniff the byte slice and selectively use
the stdlib json decoder for JSON and hcl decoder for HCL.
Both 'consul config write' and server bootstrap config entries take a
decoding detour through mapstructure on the way from HCL to an actual
struct. They both may take in snake_case or CamelCase (for consistency)
so need very similar handling.
Unfortunately since they are operating on mirror universes of structs
(api.* vs structs.*) the code cannot be identitical, so try to share the
kind-configuration and duplicate the rest for now.
* Add HTTP endpoints for config entry management
* Finish implementing decoding in the HTTP Config entry apply endpoint
* Add CAS operation to the config entry apply endpoint
Also use this for the bootstrapping and move the config entry decoding function into the structs package.
* First pass at the API client for the config entries
* Fixup some of the ConfigEntry APIs
Return a singular response object instead of a list for the ConfigEntry.Get RPC. This gets plumbed through the HTTP API as well.
Dont return QueryMeta in the JSON response for the config entry listing HTTP API. Instead just return a list of config entries.
* Minor API client fixes
* Attempt at some ConfigEntry api client tests
These don’t currently work due to weak typing in JSON
* Get some of the api client tests passing
* Implement reflectwalk magic to correct JSON encoding a ProxyConfigEntry
Also added a test for the HTTP endpoint that exposes the problem. However, since the test doesn’t actually do the JSON encode/decode its still failing.
* Move MapWalk magic into a binary marshaller instead of JSON.
* Add a MapWalk test
* Get rid of unused func
* Get rid of unused imports
* Fixup some tests now that the decoding from msgpack coerces things into json compat types
* Stub out most of the central config cli
Fully implement the config read command.
* Basic config delete command implementation
* Implement config write command
* Implement config list subcommand
Not entirely sure about the output here. Its basically the read output indented with a line specifying the kind/name of each type which is also duplicated in the indented output.
* Update command usage
* Update some help usage formatting
* Add the connect enable helper cli command
* Update list command output
* Rename the config entry API client methods.
* Use renamed apis
* Implement config write tests
Stub the others with the noTabs tests.
* Change list output format
Now just simply output 1 line per named config
* Add config read tests
* Add invalid args write test.
* Add config delete tests
* Add config list tests
* Add connect enable tests
* Update some CLI commands to use CAS ops
This also modifies the HTTP API for a write op to return a boolean indicating whether the value was written or not.
* Fix up the HTTP API CAS tests as I realized they weren’t testing what they should.
* Update config entry rpc tests to properly test CAS
* Fix up a few more tests
* Fix some tests that using ConfigEntries.Apply
* Update config_write_test.go
* Get rid of unused import
