Nomad inherited protocol version numbering configuration from Consul and
Serf, but unlike those projects Nomad has never used it. Nomad's
`protocol_version` has always been `1`.
While the code is effectively unused and therefore poses no runtime
risks to leave, I felt like removing it was best because:
1. Nomad's RPC subsystem has been able to evolve extensively without
needing to increment the version number.
2. Nomad's HTTP API has evolved extensively without increment
`API{Major,Minor}Version`. If we want to version the HTTP API in the
future, I doubt this is the mechanism we would choose.
3. The presence of the `server.protocol_version` configuration
parameter is confusing since `server.raft_protocol` *is* an important
parameter for operators to consider. Even more confusing is that
there is a distinct Serf protocol version which is included in `nomad
server members` output under the heading `Protocol`. `raft_protocol`
is the *only* protocol version relevant to Nomad developers and
operators. The other protocol versions are either deadcode or have
never changed (Serf).
4. If we were to need to version the RPC, HTTP API, or Serf protocols, I
don't think these configuration parameters and variables are the best
choice. If we come to that point we should choose a versioning scheme
based on the use case and modern best practices -- not this 6+ year
old dead code.
These API endpoints now return results in chronological order. They
can return results in reverse chronological order by setting the
query parameter ascending=true.
- Eval.List
- Deployment.List
Update the logic in the Nomad client's alloc health tracker which
erroneously marks existing healthy allocations with dead poststart ephemeral
tasks as unhealthy even if they were already successful during a previous
deployment.
The Plan.Submit endpoint assumed PlanRequest.Plan was never nil. While
there is no evidence it ever has been nil, we should not panic if a nil
plan is ever submitted because that would crash the leader.
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`

Some operators use very long group/task `shutdown_delay` settings to
safely drain network connections to their workloads after service
deregistration. But during incident response, they may want to cause
that drain to be skipped so they can quickly shed load.
Provide a `-no-shutdown-delay` flag on the `nomad alloc stop` and
`nomad job stop` commands that bypasses the delay. This sets a new
desired transition state on the affected allocations that the
allocation/task runner will identify during pre-kill on the client.
Note (as documented here) that using this flag will almost always
result in failed inbound network connections for workloads as the
tasks will exit before clients receive updated service discovery
information and won't be gracefully drained.
API queries can request pagination using the `NextToken` and `PerPage`
fields of `QueryOptions`, when supported by the underlying API.
Add a `NextToken` field to the `structs.QueryMeta` so that we have a
common field across RPCs to tell the caller where to resume paging
from on their next API call. Include this field on the `api.QueryMeta`
as well so that it's available for future versions of List HTTP APIs
that wrap the response with `QueryMeta` rather than returning a simple
list of structs. In the meantime callers can get the `X-Nomad-NextToken`.
Add pagination to the `Eval.List` RPC by checking for pagination token
and page size in `QueryOptions`. This will allow resuming from the
last ID seen so long as the query parameters and the state store
itself are unchanged between requests.
Add filtering by job ID or evaluation status over the results we get
out of the state store.
Parse the query parameters of the `Eval.List` API into the arguments
expected for filtering in the RPC call.
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.
Enhance the CLI in order to return the host network in two flavors
(default, verbose) of the `node status` command.
Fixes: #11223.

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 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.
In a multi-task-group job, treat 0 canary groups as auto-promote.
This change fixes an edge case where Nomad requires a manual promotion,
if the job had any group with canary=0 and rest of groups having
auto_promote set.

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
Basically the same as #10896 but with the Affinity struct.
Since we use reflect.DeepEquals for job comparison, there is
risk of false positives for changes due to a job struct with
memoized vs non-memoized strings.
Closes#10897
This PR causes Nomad to no longer memoize the String value of
a Constraint. The private memoized variable may or may not be
initialized at any given time, which means a reflect.DeepEqual
comparison between two jobs (e.g. during Plan) may return incorrect
results.
Fixes#10836
When a task group with `service` block(s) is validated, we validate that there
are no duplicates, but this validation doesn't have access to the task environment
because it hasn't been created yet. Services and checks with interpolation can
be flagged incorrectly as conflicting. Name conflicts in services are not
actually an error in Consul and users have reported wanting to use the same
service name for task groups differentiated by tags.
This PR implements first-class support for Nomad running Consul
Connect Mesh Gateways. Mesh gateways enable services in the Connect
mesh to make cross-DC connections via gateways, where each datacenter
may not have full node interconnectivity.
Consul docs with more information:
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/mesh-gateway
The following group level service block can be used to establish
a Connect mesh gateway.
service {
connect {
gateway {
mesh {
// no configuration
}
}
}
}
Services can make use of a mesh gateway by configuring so in their
upstream blocks, e.g.
service {
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams {
destination_name = "<service>"
local_bind_port = <port>
datacenter = "<datacenter>"
mesh_gateway {
mode = "<mode>"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Typical use of a mesh gateway is to create a bridge between datacenters.
A mesh gateway should then be configured with a service port that is
mapped from a host_network configured on a WAN interface in Nomad agent
config, e.g.
client {
host_network "public" {
interface = "eth1"
}
}
Create a port mapping in the group.network block for use by the mesh
gateway service from the public host_network, e.g.
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "mesh_wan" {
host_network = "public"
}
}
Use this port label for the service.port of the mesh gateway, e.g.
service {
name = "mesh-gateway"
port = "mesh_wan"
connect {
gateway {
mesh {}
}
}
}
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in Consul.
By default Nomad client will run the latest official Envoy docker image
supported by the local Consul agent. The Envoy task can be customized
by setting `meta.connect.gateway_image` in agent config or by setting
the `connect.sidecar_task` block.
Gateways require Consul 1.8.0+, enforced by the Nomad scheduler.
Closes#9446
This PR adds two additional constraints on Connect sidecar and gateway tasks,
making sure Nomad schedules them only onto nodes where Connect is actually
enabled on the Consul agent.
Consul requires `connect.enabled = true` and `ports.grpc = <number>` to be
explicitly set on agent configuration before Connect APIs will work. Until
now, Nomad would only validate a minimum version of Consul, which would cause
confusion for users who try to run Connect tasks on nodes where Consul is not
yet sufficiently configured. These contstraints prevent job scheduling on nodes
where Connect is not actually use-able.
Closes#10700
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.
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.
Add Namespace as a top-level field in `/v1/jobs` stub.
The `/v1/jobs` endpoint already includes the namespace under `JobSummary`, though the API is odd, as typically the job ID and Namespace are in the same level, and the oddity complicates the UI frontend development.
The downside of adding it is redundant field, that makes the response body a bit bigger, specially for clusters with large jobs. Though, it should compress nicely and I expect the overhead to be small to overall response size. The benefit of a cleaner and more consistent API seem worth it.
Fixes#10431
This fixes a bug affecting drain nodes, where allocs may fail to be
migrated if they belong to different namespaces but share the same job
name.
The reason is that the helper function that creates the migration evals
indexed the allocs by job ID without accounting for the namespaces.
When job ids clash, only an eval is created for one and the rest of the
allocs remain intact.
Fixes#10172
This PR introduces the /v1/search/fuzzy API endpoint, used for fuzzy
searching objects in Nomad. The fuzzy search endpoint routes requests
to the Nomad Server leader, which implements the Search.FuzzySearch RPC
method.
Requests to the fuzzy search API are based on the api.FuzzySearchRequest
object, e.g.
{
"Text": "ed",
"Context": "all"
}
Responses from the fuzzy search API are based on the api.FuzzySearchResponse
object, e.g.
{
"Index": 27,
"KnownLeader": true,
"LastContact": 0,
"Matches": {
"tasks": [
{
"ID": "redis",
"Scope": [
"default",
"example",
"cache"
]
}
],
"evals": [],
"deployment": [],
"volumes": [],
"scaling_policy": [],
"images": [
{
"ID": "redis:3.2",
"Scope": [
"default",
"example",
"cache",
"redis"
]
}
]
},
"Truncations": {
"volumes": false,
"scaling_policy": false,
"evals": false,
"deployment": false
}
}
The API is tunable using the new server.search stanza, e.g.
server {
search {
fuzzy_enabled = true
limit_query = 200
limit_results = 1000
min_term_length = 5
}
}
These values can be increased or decreased, so as to provide more
search results or to reduce load on the Nomad Server. The fuzzy search
API can be disabled entirely by setting `fuzzy_enabled` to `false`.
