This PR exposes the following existing`consul-template` configuration options to Nomad jobspec authors in the `{job.group.task.template}` stanza.
- `wait`
It also exposes the following`consul-template` configuration to Nomad operators in the `{client.template}` stanza.
- `max_stale`
- `block_query_wait`
- `consul_retry`
- `vault_retry`
- `wait`
Finally, it adds the following new Nomad-specific configuration to the `{client.template}` stanza that allows Operators to set bounds on what `jobspec` authors configure.
- `wait_bounds`

* Fixed name of `nomad.scheduler.allocs.reschedule` metric
* Added new metrics to metrics reference documentation
* Expanded definitions of "waiting" metrics
* Changelog entry for #10236 and #10237
Adds a package `scheduler/benchmarks` with some examples of profiling
and benchmarking the scheduler, along with helpers for loading
real-world data for profiling.
This tooling comes out of work done for #11712. These test benchmarks
have not been added to CI because these particular profiles are mostly
examples and the runs will add an excessive amount of time to CI runs
for code that rarely changes in a way that has any chance of impacting
performance.
When the scheduler picks a node for each evaluation, the
`LimitIterator` provides at most 2 eligible nodes for the
`MaxScoreIterator` to choose from. This keeps scheduling fast while
producing acceptable results because the results are binpacked.
Jobs with a `spread` block (or node affinity) remove this limit in
order to produce correct spread scoring. This means that every
allocation within a job with a `spread` block is evaluated against
_all_ eligible nodes. Operators of large clusters have reported that
jobs with `spread` blocks that are eligible on a large number of nodes
can take longer than the nack timeout to evaluate (60s). Typical
evaluations are processed in milliseconds.
In practice, it's not necessary to evaluate every eligible node for
every allocation on large clusters, because the `RandomIterator` at
the base of the scheduler stack produces enough variation in each pass
that the likelihood of an uneven spread is negligible. Note that
feasibility is checked before the limit, so this only impacts the
number of _eligible_ nodes available for scoring, not the total number
of nodes.
This changeset sets the iterator limit for "large" `spread` block and
node affinity jobs to be equal to the number of desired
allocations. This brings an example problematic job evaluation down
from ~3min to ~10s. The included tests ensure that we have acceptable
spread results across a variety of large cluster topologies.
In the system scheduler, if a subset of clients are filtered by class,
we hit a code path where the `AllocMetric` has been copied, but the
`Copy` method does not instantiate the various maps. This leads to an
assignment to a nil map. This changeset ensures that the maps are
non-nil before continuing.
The `Copy` method relies on functions in the `helper` package that all
return nil slices or maps when passed zero-length inputs. This
changeset to fix the panic bug intentionally defers updating those
functions because it'll have potential impact on memory usage. See
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/11564 for more details.
This change modifies the Nomad job register and deregister RPCs to
accept an updated option set which includes eval priority. This
param is optional and override the use of the job priority to set
the eval priority.
In order to ensure all evaluations as a result of the request use
the same eval priority, the priority is shared to the
allocReconciler and deploymentWatcher. This creates a new
distinction between eval priority and job priority.
The Nomad agent HTTP API has been modified to allow setting the
eval priority on job update and delete. To keep consistency with
the current v1 API, job update accepts this as a payload param;
job delete accepts this as a query param.
Any user supplied value is validated within the agent HTTP handler
removing the need to pass invalid requests to the server.
The register and deregister opts functions now all for setting
the eval priority on requests.
The change includes a small change to the DeregisterOpts function
which handles nil opts. This brings the function inline with the
RegisterOpts.
The system scheduler should leave allocs on draining nodes as-is, but
stop node stop allocs on nodes that are no longer part of the job
datacenters.
Previously, the scheduler did not make the distinction and left system
job allocs intact if they are already running.
I've added a failing test first, which you can see in https://app.circleci.com/jobs/github/hashicorp/nomad/179661 .
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/11373
Fix a bug where the scheduler may panic when preemption is enabled. The conditions are a bit complicated:
A job with higher priority that schedule multiple allocations that preempt other multiple allocations on the same node, due to port/network/device assignments.
The cause of the bug is incidental mutation of internal cached data. `RankedNode` computes and cache proposed allocations in https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/v1.1.6/scheduler/rank.go#L42-L53 . But scheduler then mutates the list to remove pre-emptable allocs in https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/v1.1.6/scheduler/rank.go#L293-L294, and `RemoveAllocs` mutates and sets the tail of cached slice with `nil`s triggering a nil-pointer derefencing case.
I fixed the issue by avoiding the mutation in `RemoveAllocs` - the micro-optimization there doesn't seem necessary.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/11342
Add a new hostname string parameter to the network block which
allows operators to specify the hostname of the network namespace.
Changing this causes a destructive update to the allocation and it
is omitted if empty from API responses. This parameter also supports
interpolation.
In order to have a hostname passed as a configuration param when
creating an allocation network, the CreateNetwork func of the
DriverNetworkManager interface needs to be updated. In order to
minimize the disruption of future changes, rather than add another
string func arg, the function now accepts a request struct along with
the allocID param. The struct has the hostname as a field.
The in-tree implementations of DriverNetworkManager.CreateNetwork
have been modified to account for the function signature change.
In updating for the change, the enhancement of adding hostnames to
network namespaces has also been added to the Docker driver, whilst
the default Linux manager does not current implement it.
When a system or sysbatch job specify constraints that none of the
current nodes meet, report a warning to the user.
Also, for sysbatch job, mark the job as dead as a result.
A sample run would look like:
```
$ nomad job run ./example.nomad

When a node becomes ready, create an eval for all system jobs across
namespaces.
The previous code uses `job.ID` to deduplicate evals, but that ignores
the job namespace. Thus if there are multiple jobs in different
namespaces sharing the same ID/Name, only one will be considered for
running in the new node. Thus, Nomad may skip running some system jobs
in that node.
This PR implements a new "System Batch" scheduler type. Jobs can
make use of this new scheduler by setting their type to 'sysbatch'.
Like the name implies, sysbatch can be thought of as a hybrid between
system and batch jobs - it is for running short lived jobs intended to
run on every compatible node in the cluster.
As with batch jobs, sysbatch jobs can also be periodic and/or parameterized
dispatch jobs. A sysbatch job is considered complete when it has been run
on all compatible nodes until reaching a terminal state (success or failed
on retries).
Feasibility and preemption are governed the same as with system jobs. In
this PR, the update stanza is not yet supported. The update stanza is sill
limited in functionality for the underlying system scheduler, and is
not useful yet for sysbatch jobs. Further work in #4740 will improve
support for the update stanza and deployments.
Closes#2527
Updates to the datacenter field should be destructive for any allocation that
is on a node no longer in the list of datacenters, but inplace for any
allocation on a node that is still in the list. Add a check for this change to
the system and generic schedulers after we've checked the task definition for
updates and obtained the node for each current allocation.
The `QuotaIterator` is used as the source of nodes passed into feasibility
checking for constraints. Every node that passes the quota check counts the
allocation resources agains the quota, and as a result we count nodes which
will be later filtered out by constraints. Therefore for jobs with
constraints, nodes that are feasibility checked but fail have been counted
against quotas. This failure mode is order dependent; if all the unfiltered
nodes happen to be quota checked first, everything works as expected.
This changeset moves the `QuotaIterator` to happen last among all feasibility
checkers (but before ranking). The `QuotaIterator` will never receive filtered
nodes so it will calculate quotas correctly.
Glint pulled in an updated version of mitchellh/go-testing-interface
which broke some existing tests because the update added a Parallel()
method to testing.T. This switches to the standard library testing.TB
which doesn't have a Parallel() method.
The reconciler has some complicated behavior when there are already running
allocations from a previous version of the job that we want to keep, as
happens during a rollback. Document this behavior with a test.
Cluster operators want to have better control over memory
oversubscription and may want to enable/disable it based on their
experience.
This PR adds a scheduler configuration field to control memory
oversubscription. It's additional field that can be set in the [API via Scheduler Config](https://www.nomadproject.io/api-docs/operator/scheduler), or [the agent server config](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/configuration/server#configuring-scheduler-config).
I opted to have the memory oversubscription be an opt-in, but happy to change it. To enable it, operators should call the API with:
```json
{
"MemoryOversubscriptionEnabled": true
}
```
If memory oversubscription is disabled, submitting jobs specifying `memory_max` will get a "Memory oversubscription is not
enabled" warnings, but the jobs will be accepted without them accessing
the additional memory.
The warning message is like:
```
$ nomad job run /tmp/j
Job Warnings:
1 warning(s):
* Memory oversubscription is not enabled; Task cache.redis memory_max value will be ignored

Add a new driver capability: RemoteTasks.
When a task is run by a driver with RemoteTasks set, its TaskHandle will
be propagated to the server in its allocation's TaskState. If the task
is replaced due to a down node or draining, its TaskHandle will be
propagated to its replacement allocation.
This allows tasks to be scheduled in remote systems whose lifecycles are
disconnected from the Nomad node's lifecycle.
See https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-driver-ecs for an example ECS
remote task driver.
This PR adds the common OSS changes for adding support for Consul Namespaces,
which is going to be a Nomad Enterprise feature. There is no new functionality
provided by this changeset and hopefully no new bugs.
Start tracking a new MemoryMaxMB field that represents the maximum memory a task
may use in the client. This allows tasks to specify a memory reservation (to be
used by scheduler when placing the task) but use excess memory used on the
client if the client has any.
This commit adds the server tracking for the value, and ensures that allocations
AllocatedResource fields include the value.

Add a `PerAlloc` field to volume requests that directs the scheduler to test
feasibility for volumes with a source ID that includes the allocation index
suffix (ex. `[0]`), rather than the exact source ID.
Read the `PerAlloc` field when making the volume claim at the client to
determine if the allocation index suffix (ex. `[0]`) should be added to the
volume source ID.
Callers of `CSIVolumeByID` are generally assuming they should receive a single
volume. This potentially results in feasibility checking being performed
against the wrong volume if a volume's ID is a prefix substring of other
volume (for example: "test" and "testing").
Removing the incorrect prefix matching from `CSIVolumeByID` breaks prefix
matching in the command line client. Add the required elements for prefix
matching to the commands and API.
When multiple CSI volumes are requested, the feasibility check could return
early for read/write volumes with free claims, even if a later volume in the
request was not feasible for any other reason (including not existing at
all). This can result in random failure to fail feasibility checking,
depending on how the map of volumes was being ordered at runtime.
Remove the early return from the feasibility check. Add a test to verify that
missing volumes in the map will cause a failure; this test will not catch a
regression every test run because of the random map ordering, but any failure
will be caught over the course of several CI runs.
This PR fixes a bug where tasks with Connect services could be
triggered to destructively update (i.e. placed in a new alloc)
when no update should be necessary.

* drop spew
AllocatedSharedResources were not being copied over to the new
allocation struct the scheduler makes during inplace updates. This
caused downstream issues after the plan was applied, namely the shared
ports were dropped causing issues with service
