During unusual outage recovery scenarios on large clusters, a backlog of
millions of evaluations can appear. In these cases, the `eval delete` command can
put excessive load on the cluster by listing large sets of evals to extract the
IDs and then sending larges batches of IDs. Although the command's batch size
was carefully tuned, we still need to be JSON deserialize, re-serialize to
MessagePack, send the log entries through raft, and get the FSM applied.
To improve performance of this recovery case, move the batching process into the
RPC handler and the state store. The design here is a little weird, so let's
look a the failed options first:
* A naive solution here would be to just send the filter as the raft request and
let the FSM apply delete the whole set in a single operation. Benchmarking with
1M evals on a 3 node cluster demonstrated this can block the FSM apply for
several minutes, which puts the cluster at risk if there's a leadership
failover (the barrier write can't be made while this apply is in-flight).
* A less naive but still bad solution would be to have the RPC handler filter
and paginate, and then hand a list of IDs to the existing raft log
entry. Benchmarks showed this blocked the FSM apply for 20-30s at a time and
took roughly an hour to complete.
Instead, we're filtering and paginating in the RPC handler to find a page token,
and then passing both the filter and page token in the raft log. The FSM apply
recreates the paginator using the filter and page token to get roughly the same
page of evaluations, which it then deletes. The pagination process is fairly
cheap (only abut 5% of the total FSM apply time), so counter-intuitively this
rework ends up being much faster. A benchmark of 1M evaluations showed this
blocked the FSM apply for 20-30ms at a time (typical for normal operations) and
completes in less than 4 minutes.
Note that, as with the existing design, this delete is not consistent: a new
evaluation inserted "behind" the cursor of the pagination will fail to be
deleted.
This PR solves a defect in the deserialization of api.Port structs when returning structs from theEventStream.
Previously, the api.Port struct's fields were decorated with both mapstructure and hcl tags to support the network.port stanza's use of the keyword static when posting a static port value. This works fine when posting a job and when retrieving any struct that has an embedded api.Port instance as long as the value is deserialized using JSON decoding. The EventStream, however, uses mapstructure to decode event payloads in the api package. mapstructure expects an underlying field named static which does not exist. The result was that the Port.Value field would always be set to 0.
Upon further inspection, a few things became apparent.
The struct already has hcl tags that support the indirection during job submission.
Serialization/deserialization with both the json and hcl packages produce the desired result.
The use of of the mapstructure tags provided no value as the Port struct contains only fields with primitive types.
This PR:
Removes the mapstructure tags from the api.Port structs
Updates the job parsing logic to use hcl instead of mapstructure when decoding Port instances.

Add a new `Eval.Count` RPC and associated HTTP API endpoints. This API is
designed to support interactive use in the `nomad eval delete` command to get a
count of evals expected to be deleted before doing so.
The state store operations to do this sort of thing are somewhat expensive, but
it's cheaper than serializing a big list of evals to JSON. Note that although it
seems like this could be done as an extra parameter and response field on
`Eval.List`, having it as its own endpoint avoids having to change the response
body shape and lets us avoid handling the legacy filter params supported by
`Eval.List`.

The configuration knobs for root keyring garbage collection are present in the
consumer and present in the user-facing config, but we missed the spot where we
copy from one to the other. Fix this so that users can set their own thresholds.
The root key is automatically rotated every ~30d, but the function that does
both rotation and key GC was wired up such that `nomad system gc` caused an
unexpected key rotation. Split this into two functions so that `nomad system gc`
cleans up old keys without forcing a rotation, which will be done periodially
or by the `nomad operator root keyring rotate` command.
The client ACL cache was not accounting for tokens which included
ACL role links. This change modifies the behaviour to resolve role
links to policies. It will also now store ACL roles within the
cache for quick lookup. The cache TTL is configurable in the same
manner as policies or tokens.
Another small fix is included that takes into account the ACL
token expiry time. This was not included, which meant tokens with
expiry could be used past the expiry time, until they were GC'd.
* consul: register checks along with service on initial registration
This PR updates Nomad's Consul service client to include checks in
an initial service registration, so that the checks associated with
the service are registered "atomically" with the service. Before, we
would only register the checks after the service registration, which
causes problems where the service is deemed healthy, even if one or
more checks are unhealthy - especially problematic in the case where
SuccessBeforePassing is configured.
Fixes#3935
* cr: followup to fix cause of extra consul logging
* cr: fix another bug

This PR updates Nomad's Consul service client to do map comparisons
using maps.Equal instead of reflect.DeepEqual. The bug fix is in how
DeepEqual treats nil slices different from empty slices, when actually
they should be treated the same.

This PR updates Nomad client to always do user lookups while holding
a global process lock. This is to prevent concurrency unsafe implementations
of NSS, but still enabling NSS lookups of users (i.e. cannot not use osusergo).

This PR implements support for check_restart for checks registered
in the Nomad service provider.
Unlike Consul, Nomad service checks never report a "warning" status,
and so the check_restart.ignore_warnings configuration is not valid
for Nomad service checks.
This PR refactors agent/consul/check_watcher into client/serviceregistration,
and abstracts away the Consul-specific check lookups.
In doing so we should be able to reuse the existing check watcher logic for
also watching NSD checks in a followup PR.
A chunk of consul/unit_test.go is removed - we'll cover that in e2e tests
in a follow PR if needed. In the long run I'd like to remove this whole file.
When querying the checks for an allocation, the request must be
forwarded to the agent that is running the allocation. If the
initial request is made to a server agent, the request can be made
directly to the client agent running the allocation. If the
request is made to a client agent not running the alloc, the
request needs to be forwarded to a server and then the correct
client.
Nomad's original autopilot was importing from a private package in Consul. It
has been moved out to a shared library. Switch Nomad to use this library so that
we can eliminate the import of Consul, which is necessary to build Nomad ENT
with the current version of the Consul SDK. This also will let us pick up
autopilot improvements shared with Consul more easily.
* Update Consul Template dep to support Nomad vars
* Remove `Peering` config for Consul Testservers
Upgrading to the 1.14 Consul SDK introduces and additional default
configuration—`Peering`—that is not compatible with versions of Consul
before v1.13.0. because Nomad tests against Consul v1.11.1, this
configuration has to be nil'ed out before passing it to the Consul
binary.
Neither the `os.Setenv` nor `t.Setenv` helper are safe to use in parallel tests
because environment variables are process-global. The stdlib panics if you try
to do this. Remove the `ci.Parallel()` call from all tests where we're setting
environment variables.
Nomad reconciles services it expects to be registered in Consul with
what is actually registered in the local Consul agent. This is necessary
to prevent leaking service registrations if Nomad crashes at certain
points (or if there are bugs).
When Consul has namespaces enabled, we must iterate over each available
namespace to be sure no services were leaked into non-default
namespaces.
Since this reconciliation happens often, there's no need to require
results from the Consul leader server. In large clusters this creates
far more load than the "freshness" of the response is worth.
Therefore this patch switches the request to AllowStale=true
* allocrunner: handle lifecycle when all tasks die
When all tasks die the Coordinator must transition to its terminal
state, coordinatorStatePoststop, to unblock poststop tasks. Since this
could happen at any time (for example, a prestart task dies), all states
must be able to transition to this terminal state.
* allocrunner: implement different alloc restarts
Add a new alloc restart mode where all tasks are restarted, even if they
have already exited. Also unifies the alloc restart logic to use the
implementation that restarts tasks concurrently and ignores
ErrTaskNotRunning errors since those are expected when restarting the
allocation.
* allocrunner: allow tasks to run again
Prevent the task runner Run() method from exiting to allow a dead task
to run again. When the task runner is signaled to restart, the function
will jump back to the MAIN loop and run it again.
The task runner determines if a task needs to run again based on two new
task events that were added to differentiate between a request to
restart a specific task, the tasks that are currently running, or all
tasks that have already run.
* api/cli: add support for all tasks alloc restart
Implement the new -all-tasks alloc restart CLI flag and its API
counterpar, AllTasks. The client endpoint calls the appropriate restart
method from the allocrunner depending on the restart parameters used.
* test: fix tasklifecycle Coordinator test
* allocrunner: kill taskrunners if all tasks are dead
When all non-poststop tasks are dead we need to kill the taskrunners so
we don't leak their goroutines, which are blocked in the alloc restart
loop. This also ensures the allocrunner exits on its own.
* taskrunner: fix tests that waited on WaitCh
Now that "dead" tasks may run again, the taskrunner Run() method will
not return when the task finishes running, so tests must wait for the
task state to be "dead" instead of using the WaitCh, since it won't be
closed until the taskrunner is killed.
* tests: add tests for all tasks alloc restart
* changelog: add entry for #14127
* taskrunner: fix restore logic.
The first implementation of the task runner restore process relied on
server data (`tr.Alloc().TerminalStatus()`) which may not be available
to the client at the time of restore.
It also had the incorrect code path. When restoring a dead task the
driver handle always needs to be clear cleanly using `clearDriverHandle`
otherwise, after exiting the MAIN loop, the task may be killed by
`tr.handleKill`.
The fix is to store the state of the Run() loop in the task runner local
client state: if the task runner ever exits this loop cleanly (not with
a shutdown) it will never be able to run again. So if the Run() loops
starts with this local state flag set, it must exit early.
This local state flag is also being checked on task restart requests. If
the task is "dead" and its Run() loop is not active it will never be
able to run again.
* address code review requests
* apply more code review changes
* taskrunner: add different Restart modes
Using the task event to differentiate between the allocrunner restart
methods proved to be confusing for developers to understand how it all
worked.
So instead of relying on the event type, this commit separated the logic
of restarting an taskRunner into two methods:
- `Restart` will retain the current behaviour and only will only restart
the task if it's currently running.
- `ForceRestart` is the new method where a `dead` task is allowed to
restart if its `Run()` method is still active. Callers will need to
restart the allocRunner taskCoordinator to make sure it will allow the
task to run again.
* minor fixes
The `namespace` field was not included in the equality check between old and new
Vault configurations, which meant that a Vault config change that only changed
the namespace would not be detected as a change and the clients would not be
reloaded.
Also, the comparison for boolean fields such as `enabled` and
`allow_unauthenticated` was on the pointer and not the value of that pointer,
which results in spurious reloads in real config reload that is easily missed in
typical test scenarios.
Includes a minor refactor of the order of fields for `Copy` and `Merge` to match
the struct fields in hopes it makes it harder to make this mistake in the
future, as well as additional test coverage.
The current implementation for the task coordinator unblocks tasks by
performing destructive operations over its internal state (like closing
channels and deleting maps from keys).
This presents a problem in situations where we would like to revert the
state of a task, such as when restarting an allocation with tasks that
have already exited.
With this new implementation the task coordinator behaves more like a
finite state machine where task may be blocked/unblocked multiple times
by performing a state transition.
This initial part of the work only refactors the task coordinator and
is functionally equivalent to the previous implementation. Future work
will build upon this to provide bug fixes and enhancements.
When a Nomad agent starts and loads jobs that already existed in the
cluster, the default template uid and gid was being set to 0, since this
is the zero value for int. This caused these jobs to fail in
environments where it was not possible to use 0, such as in Windows
clients.
In order to differentiate between an explicit 0 and a template where
these properties were not set we need to use a pointer.
Making the ACL Role listing return object a stub future-proofs the
endpoint. In the event the role object grows, we are not bound by
having to return all fields within the list endpoint or change the
signature of the endpoint to reduce the list return size.
ACL Roles along with policies and global token will be replicated
from the authoritative region to all federated regions. This
involves a new replication loop running on the federated leader.
Policies and roles may be replicated at different times, meaning
the policies and role references may not be present within the
local state upon replication upsert. In order to bypass the RPC
and state check, a new RPC request parameter has been added. This
is used by the replication process; all other callers will trigger
the ACL role policy validation check.
There is a new ACL RPC endpoint to allow the reading of a set of
ACL Roles which is required by the replication process and matches
ACL Policies and Tokens. A bug within the ACL Role listing RPC has
also been fixed which returned incorrect data during blocking
queries where a deletion had occurred.
Before this change, Client had 2 copies of the config object: config and configCopy. There was no guidance around which to use where (other than configCopy's comment to pass it to alloc runners), both are shared among goroutines and mutated in data racy ways. At least at one point I think the idea was to have `config` be mutable and then grab a lock to overwrite `configCopy`'s pointer atomically. This would have allowed alloc runners to read their config copies in data race safe ways, but this isn't how the current implementation worked.
This change takes the following approach to safely handling configs in the client:
1. `Client.config` is the only copy of the config and all access must go through the `Client.configLock` mutex
2. Since the mutex *only protects the config pointer itself and not fields inside the Config struct:* all config mutation must be done on a *copy* of the config, and then Client's config pointer is overwritten while the mutex is acquired. Alloc runners and other goroutines with the old config pointer will not see config updates.
3. Deep copying is implemented on the Config struct to satisfy the previous approach. The TLS Keyloader is an exception because it has its own internal locking to support mutating in place. An unfortunate complication but one I couldn't find a way to untangle in a timely fashion.
4. To facilitate deep copying I made an *internally backward incompatible API change:* our `helper/funcs` used to turn containers (slices and maps) with 0 elements into nils. This probably saves a few memory allocations but makes it very easy to cause panics. Since my new config handling approach uses more copying, it became very difficult to ensure all code that used containers on configs could handle nils properly. Since this code has caused panics in the past, I fixed it: nil containers are copied as nil, but 0-element containers properly return a new 0-element container. No more "downgrading to nil!"
Move conflict resolution implementation into the state store with a new Apply RPC.
This also makes the RPC for secure variables much more similar to Consul's KV,
which will help us support soft deletes in a post-1.4.0 version of Nomad.

Move the secure variables quota enforcement calls into the state store to ensure
quota checks are atomic with quota updates (in the same transaction).
Switch to a machine-size int instead of a uint64 for quota tracking. The
ENT-side quota spec is described as int, and negative values have a meaning as
"not permitted at all". Using the same type for tracking will make it easier to
the math around checks, and uint64 is infeasibly large anyways.
Add secure vars to quota HTTP API and CLI outputs and API docs.
This test is a fairly trivial test of the agent RPC, but the test setup waits
for a short fixed window after the node starts to send the RPC. After looking at
detailed logs for recent test failures, it looks like the node registration for
the first node doesn't get a chance to happen before we make the RPC call. Use
`WaitForResultUntil` to give the test more time to run in slower test
environments, while allowing it to finish quickly if possible.
The search RPC used a placeholder policy for searching within the secure
variables context. Now that we have ACL policies built for secure variables, we
can use them for search. Requires a new loose policy for checking if a token has
any secure variables access within a namespace, so that we can filter on
specific paths in the iterator.
Return 429 response on HTTP max connection limit. Instead of silently closing
the connection, return a `429 Too Many Requests` HTTP response with a helpful
error message to aid debugging when the connection limit is unintentionally
reached.
Set a 10-millisecond write timeout and rate limiter for connection-limit 429
response to prevent writing the HTTP response from consuming too many server
resources.
Add `nomad.agent.http.exceeded metric` counting the number of HTTP connections
exceeding concurrency limit.
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.
This PR adds support for specifying checks in services registered to
the built-in nomad service provider.
Currently only HTTP and TCP checks are supported, though more types
could be added later.
Fixes#13505
This fixes#13505 by treating reserved_ports like we treat a lot of jobspec settings: merging settings from more global stanzas (client.reserved.reserved_ports) "down" into more specific stanzas (client.host_networks[].reserved_ports).
As discussed in #13505 there are other options, and since it's totally broken right now we have some flexibility:
Treat overlapping reserved_ports on addresses as invalid and refuse to start agents. However, I'm not sure there's a cohesive model we want to publish right now since so much 0.9-0.12 compat code still exists! We would have to explain to folks that if their -network-interface and host_network addresses overlapped, they could only specify reserved_ports in one place or the other?! It gets ugly.
Use the global client.reserved.reserved_ports value as the default and treat host_network[].reserverd_ports as overrides. My first suggestion in the issue, but @groggemans made me realize the addresses on the agent's interface (as configured by -network-interface) may overlap with host_networks, so you'd need to remove the global reserved_ports from addresses shared with a shared network?! This seemed really confusing and subtle for users to me.
So I think "merging down" creates the most expressive yet understandable approach. I've played around with it a bit, and it doesn't seem too surprising. The only frustrating part is how difficult it is to observe the available addresses and ports on a node! However that's a job for another PR.
This commit adds configuration parameters to control ACL token

After internal design review, we decided to remove exposing algorithm
choice to the end-user for the initial release. We'll solve nonce
rotation by forcing rotations automatically on key GC (in a core job,
not included in this changeset). Default to AES-256 GCM for the
following criteria:
* faster implementation when hardware acceleration is available
* FIPS compliant
* implementation in pure go
* post-quantum resistance
Also fixed a bug in the decoding from keystore and switched to a
harder-to-misuse encoding method.
When a server becomes leader, it will check if there are any keys in
the state store, and create one if there is not. The key metadata will
be replicated via raft to all followers, who will then get the key
material via key replication (not implemented in this changeset).
This changeset implements the keystore serialization/deserialization:
* Adds a JSON serialization extension for the `RootKey` struct, along with a metadata stub. When we serialize RootKey to the on-disk keystore, we want to base64 encode the key material but also exclude any frequently-changing fields which are stored in raft.
* Implements methods for loading/saving keys to the keystore.
* Implements methods for restoring the whole keystore from disk.
* Wires it all up with the `Keyring` RPC handlers and fixes up any fallout on tests.
* core: allow pause/un-pause of eval broker on region leader.
* agent: add ability to pause eval broker via scheduler config.
* cli: add operator scheduler commands to interact with config.
* api: add ability to pause eval broker via scheduler config
* e2e: add operator scheduler test for eval broker pause.
* docs: include new opertor scheduler CLI and pause eval API info.
This PR adds the 'choose' query parameter to the '/v1/service/<service>' endpoint.
The value of 'choose' is in the form '<number>|<key>', number is the number
of desired services and key is a value unique but consistent to the requester
(e.g. allocID).
Folks aren't really expected to use this API directly, but rather through consul-template
which will soon be getting a new helper function making use of this query parameter.
Example,
curl 'localhost:4646/v1/service/redis?choose=2|abc123'
Note: consul-templte v0.29.1 includes the necessary nomadServices functionality.
