MultiplexV2 is a new connection multiplex header that supports multiplex both
RPC and streaming requests over the same Yamux connection.
MultiplexV2 was added in 0.8.0 as part of
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/3892 . So Nomad 0.11 can expect it to
be supported. Though, some more rigorous testing is required before merging
this.
I want to call out some implementation details:
First, the current connection pool reuses the Yamux stream for multiple RPC calls,
and doesn't close them until an error is encountered. This commit doesn't
change it, and sets the `RpcNomad` byte only at stream creation.
Second, the StreamingRPC session gets closed by callers and cannot be reused.
Every StreamingRPC opens a new Yamux session.
Pick up some fixes from Consul:
* If a stream returns an EOF error, clear session from cache/pool and start a
new one.
* Close the codec when closing StreamClient
Copy the updated version of freeport (sdk/freeport), and tweak it for use
in Nomad tests. This means staying below port 10000 to avoid conflicts with
the lib/freeport that is still transitively used by the old version of
consul that we vendor. Also provide implementations to find ephemeral ports
of macOS and Windows environments.
Ports acquired through freeport are supposed to be returned to freeport,
which this change now also introduces. Many tests are modified to include
calls to a cleanup function for Server objects.
This should help quite a bit with some flakey tests, but not all of them.
Our port problems will not go away completely until we upgrade our vendor
version of consul. With Go modules, we'll probably do a 'replace' to swap
out other copies of freeport with the one now in 'nomad/helper/freeport'.
This PR enhances the API package by having client only RPCs route
through the server when they are low cost and for filesystem access to
first attempt a direct connection to the node and then falling back to
a server routed request.
