Service jobs should have unique allocation Names, derived from the
Job.ID. System jobs do not have unique allocation Names because the index is
intended to indicated the instance out of a desired count size. Because system
jobs do not have an explicit count but the results are based on the targeted
nodes, the index is less informative and this was intentionally omitted from the
original design.
Update docs to make it clear that NOMAD_ALLOC_INDEX is always zero for
system/sysbatch jobs
Validate that `volume.per_alloc` is incompatible with system/sysbatch jobs.
System and sysbatch jobs always have a `NOMAD_ALLOC_INDEX` of 0. So
interpolation via `per_alloc` will not work as soon as there's more than one
allocation placed. Validate against this on job submission.
Disallowing per_alloc for host volumes in some cases makes life of a nomad user much harder.
When we rely on the NOMAD_ALLOC_INDEX for any configuration that needs to be re-used across
restarts we need to make sure allocation placement is consistent. With CSI volumes we can
use the `per_alloc` feature but for some reason this is explicitly disabled for host volumes.
Ensure host volumes understand the concept of per_alloc
A volume that has single-use access mode is feasibility checked during
scheduling to ensure that only a single reader or writer claim
exists. However, because feasibility checking is done one alloc at a
time before the plan is written, a job that's misconfigured to have
count > 1 that mounts one of these volumes will pass feasibility
checking.
Enforce the check at validation time instead to prevent us from even
trying to evaluation a job that's misconfigured this way.
