This PR changes Nomad's wrapper around the Consul NamespaceAPI so that
it will detect if the Consul Namespaces feature is enabled before making
a request to the Namespaces API. Namespaces are not enabled in Consul OSS,
and require a suitable license to be used with Consul ENT.
Previously Nomad would check for a 404 status code when makeing a request
to the Namespaces API to "detect" if Consul OSS was being used. This does
not work for Consul ENT with Namespaces disabled, which returns a 500.
Now we avoid requesting the namespace API altogether if Consul is detected
to be the OSS sku, or if the Namespaces feature is not licensed. Since
Consul can be upgraded from OSS to ENT, or a new license applied, we cache
the value for 1 minute, refreshing on demand if expired.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-enterprise/issues/575
Note that the ticket originally describes using attributes from https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10688.
This turns out not to be possible due to a chicken-egg situation between
bootstrapping the agent and setting up the consul client. Also fun: the
Consul fingerprinter creates its own Consul client, because there is no
[currently] no way to pass the agent's client through the fingerprint factory.
This PR adds new probes for detecting these new Consul related attributes:
Consul namespaces are a Consul enterprise feature that may be disabled depending
on the enterprise license associated with the Consul servers. Having this attribute
available will enable Nomad to properly decide whether to query the Consul Namespace
API.
Consul connect must be explicitly enabled before Connect APIs will work. Currently
Nomad only checks for a minimum Consul version. Having this attribute available will
enable Nomad to properly schedule Connect tasks only on nodes with a Consul agent that
has Connect enabled.
Consul connect requires the grpc port to be explicitly set before Connect APIs will work.
Currently Nomad only checks for a minimal Consul version. Having this attribute available
will enable Nomad to schedule Connect tasks only on nodes with a Consul agent that has
the grpc listener enabled.
This PR refactors the ConsulFingerprint implementation, breaking individual attributes
into individual functions to make testing them easier. This is in preparation for
additional extractors about to be added. Behavior should be otherwise unchanged.
It adds the attribute consul.sku, which can be used to differentiate between Consul
OSS vs Consul ENT.
This removes a cyclical dependency when importing client/structs from
dependencies of the plugin_loader, specifically, drivers. Due to
client/config also depending on the plugin_loader.
It also better reflects the ownership of fingerprint structs, as they
are fairly internal to the fingerprint manager.
Change the unit test to only test if the consul link exists, not the
value of the link. The old test was hostname specific and therefore
would always be different based on the environment running the tests.
Reduce future confusion by introducing a minor version that is gossiped out
via the `mvn` Serf tag (Minor Version Number, `vsn` is already being used for
to communicate `Major Version Number`).
