When replication of a single key fails, the replication loop breaks early and
therefore keys that fall later in the sorting order will never get
replicated. This is particularly a problem for clusters impacted by the bug that
caused #14981 and that were later upgraded; the keys that were never replicated
can now never be replicated, and so we need to handle them safely.
Included in the replication fix:
* Refactor the replication loop so that each key replicated in a function call
that returns an error, to make the workflow more clear and reduce nesting. Log
the error and continue.
* Improve stability of keyring replication tests. We no longer block leadership
on initializing the keyring, so there's a race condition in the keyring tests
where we can test for the existence of the root key before the keyring has
been initialize. Change this to an "eventually" test.
But these fixes aren't enough to fix#14981 because they'll end up seeing an
error once a second complaining about the missing key, so we also need to fix
keyring GC so the keys can be removed from the state store. Now we'll store the
key ID used to sign a workload identity in the Allocation, and we'll index the
Allocation table on that so we can track whether any live Allocation was signed
with a particular key ID.
* One-time tokens are not replicated between regions, so we don't want to enforce
that the version check across all of serf, just members in the same region.
* Scheduler: Disconnected clients handling is specific to a single region, so we
don't want to enforce that the version check across all of serf, just members in
the same region.
* Variables: enforce version check in Apply RPC
* Cleans up a bunch of legacy checks.
This changeset is specific to 1.4.x and the changes for previous versions of
Nomad will be manually backported in a separate PR.
Workload identities grant implicit access to policies, and operators
will not want to craft separate policies for each invocation of a
periodic or dispatch job. Use the parent job's ID as the JobID claim.
Plan rejections occur when the scheduler work and the leader plan
applier disagree on the feasibility of a plan. This may happen for valid
reasons: since Nomad does parallel scheduling, it is expected that
different workers will have a different state when computing placements.
As the final plan reaches the leader plan applier, it may no longer be
valid due to a concurrent scheduling taking up intended resources. In
these situations the plan applier will notify the worker that the plan
was rejected and that they should refresh their state before trying
again.
In some rare and unexpected circumstances it has been observed that
workers will repeatedly submit the same plan, even if they are always
rejected.
While the root cause is still unknown this mitigation has been put in
place. The plan applier will now track the history of plan rejections
per client and include in the plan result a list of node IDs that should
be set as ineligible if the number of rejections in a given time window
crosses a certain threshold. The window size and threshold value can be
adjusted in the server configuration.
To avoid marking several nodes as ineligible at one, the operation is rate
limited to 5 nodes every 30min, with an initial burst of 10 operations.
In order to support implicit ACL policies for tasks to get their own
secrets, each task would need to have its own ACL token. This would
add extra raft overhead as well as new garbage collection jobs for
cleaning up task-specific ACL tokens. Instead, Nomad will create a
workload Identity Claim for each task.
An Identity Claim is a JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by the server’s
private key and attached to an Allocation at the time a plan is
applied. The encoded JWT can be submitted as the X-Nomad-Token header
to replace ACL token secret IDs for the RPCs that support identity
claims.
Whenever a key is is added to a server’s keyring, it will use the key
as the seed for a Ed25519 public-private private keypair. That keypair
will be used for signing the JWT and for verifying the JWT.
This implementation is a ruthlessly minimal approach to support the
secure variables feature. When a JWT is verified, the allocation ID
will be checked against the Nomad state store, and non-existent or
terminal allocation IDs will cause the validation to be rejected. This
is sufficient to support the secure variables feature at launch
without requiring implementation of a background process to renew
soon-to-expire tokens.
The plan applier has to get a snapshot with a minimum index for the
plan it's working on in order to ensure consistency. Under heavy raft
loads, we can exceed the timeout. When this happens, we hit a bug
where the plan applier blocks waiting on the `indexCh` forever, and
all schedulers will block in `Plan.Submit`.
Closing the `indexCh` when the `asyncPlanWait` is done with it will
prevent the deadlock without impacting correctness of the previous
snapshot index.
This changeset includes the a PoC failing test that works by injecting
a large timeout into the state store. We need to turn this into a test
we can run normally without breaking the state store before we can
merge this PR.
Increase `snapshotMinIndex` timeout to 10s.
This timeout creates backpressure where any concurrent `Plan.Submit`
RPCs will block waiting for results. This sheds load across all
servers and gives raft some CPU to catch up, because schedulers won't
dequeue more work while waiting. Increase it to 10s based on
observations of large production clusters.
As we have continued to see reports of #9506 we need to elevate this log
line as it is the only way to detect when plans are being *erroneously*
rejected.
Users who see this log line repeatedly should drain and restart the node
in the log line. This seems to workaorund the issue.
Please post any details on #9506!
The plans generated by the scheduler produce high-level output of counts on each
evaluation, but when debugging scheduler issues it'd be nice to have a more
detailed view of the resulting plan. Emitting this log at trace minimizes the
overhead, and producing it in the plan applyer makes it easier to find as it
will always be on the leader.

Without protecting the loop that creates followUpEvals, a delayed eval
is allowed to create an immediate subsequent delayed eval. For both
`stop_after_client_disconnect` and the `reschedule` block, a delayed
eval should always produce some immediate result (running or blocked)
and then only after the outcome of that eval produce a second delayed
eval.
* scheduler/reconcile: lostLater are different than delayedReschedules
Just slightly. `lostLater` allocs should be used to create batched
evaluations, but `handleDelayedReschedules` assumes that the
allocations are in the untainted set. When it creates the in-place
updates to those allocations at the end, it causes the allocation to
be treated as running over in the planner, which causes the initial
`stop_after_client_disconnect` evaluation to be retried by the worker.
Rename SnapshotAfter to SnapshotMinIndex. The old name was not
technically accurate. SnapshotAtOrAfter is more accurate, but wordy and
still lacks context about what precisely it is at or after (the index).
SnapshotMinIndex was chosen as it describes the action (snapshot), a
constraint (minimum), and the object of the constraint (index).
The previous commit prevented evaluating plans against a state snapshot
which is older than the snapshot at which the plan was created. This is
correct and prevents failures trying to retrieve referenced objects that
may not exist until the plan's snapshot. However, this is insufficient
to guarantee consistency if the following events occur:
1. P1, P2, and P3 are enqueued with snapshot @ 100
2. Leader evaluates and applies Plan P1 with snapshot @ 100
3. Leader evaluates Plan P2 with snapshot+P1 @ 100
4. P1 commits @ 101
4. Leader evaluates applies Plan P3 with snapshot+P2 @ 100
Since only the previous plan is optimistically applied to the state
store, the snapshot used to evaluate a plan may not contain the N-2
plan!
To ensure plans are evaluated and applied serially we must consider all
previous plan's committed indexes when evaluating further plans.
Therefore combined with the last PR, the minimum index at which to
evaluate a plan is:
min(previousPlanResultIndex, plan.SnapshotIndex)
Plan application should use a state snapshot at or after the Raft index
at which the plan was created otherwise it risks being rejected based on
stale data.
This commit adds a Plan.SnapshotIndex which is set by workers when
submitting plan. SnapshotIndex is set to the Raft index of the snapshot
the worker used to generate the plan.
Plan.SnapshotIndex plays a similar role to PlanResult.RefreshIndex.
While RefreshIndex informs workers their StateStore is behind the
leader's, SnapshotIndex is a way to prevent the leader from using a
StateStore behind the worker's.
Plan.SnapshotIndex should be considered the *lower bound* index for
consistently handling plan application.
Plans must also be committed serially, so Plan N+1 should use a state
snapshot containing Plan N. This is guaranteed for plans *after* the
first plan after a leader election.
The Raft barrier on leader election ensures the leader's statestore has
caught up to the log index at which it was elected. This guarantees its
StateStore is at an index > lastPlanIndex.
Revert plan_apply.go changes from #5411
Since non-Command Raft messages do not update the StateStore index,
SnapshotAfter may unnecessarily block and needlessly fail in idle
clusters where the last Raft message is a non-Command message.
This is trivially reproducible with the dev agent and a job that has 2
tasks, 1 of which fails.
The correct logic would be to SnapshotAfter the previous plan's index to
ensure consistency. New clusters or newly elected leaders will not have
a previous plan, so the index the leader was elected should be used
instead.
This commit implements an allocation selection algorithm for finding
allocations to preempt. It currently special cases network resource asks
from others (cpu/memory/disk/iops).
