IOPS have been modelled as a resource since Nomad 0.1 but has never
actually been detected and there is no plan in the short term to add
detection. This is because IOPS is a bit simplistic of a unit to define
the performance requirements from the underlying storage system. In its
current state it adds unnecessary confusion and can be removed without
impacting any users. This PR leaves IOPS defined at the jobspec parsing
level and in the api/ resources since these are the two public uses of
the field. These should be considered deprecated and only exist to allow
users to stop using them during the Nomad 0.9.x release. In the future,
there should be no expectation that the field will exist.
This adds constraints for asserting that a given attribute or value
exists, or does not exist. This acts as a companion to =, or !=
operators, e.g:
```hcl
constraint {
attribute = "${attrs.type}"
operator = "!="
value = "database"
}
constraint {
attribute = "${attrs.type}"
operator = "is_set"
}
```
This commit allows the ConstraintChecker to test values that do not exist.
This is useful when wanting to _exclude_ given nodes from executing a
job, for example, if you wanted to give canary nodes an attribute, and
not run critical services on them, you may specify something like the
below, but not want to tag all other nodes with the inverse.
```hcl
constraint {
attribute = "${node.attr.canary}
operator = "!="
value = "1"
}
```
This also requires all constraint checkers to allow for nil target
values, as they will no longer be short circuited by resolving a target.
Also changes the logic for score when there is more than one task
requesting a device. Since inter task affinities are already normalized,
we take the average of the scores across tasks.
The old logic for cancelling duplicate blocked evaluations by job id had
the issue where the newer evaluation could have additional node classes
that it is (in)eligible for that we would not capture. This could make
it such that cluster state could change such that the job would make
progress but no evaluation was unblocked.
This commit implements an allocation selection algorithm for finding
allocations to preempt. It currently special cases network resource asks
from others (cpu/memory/disk/iops).
