As part of deprecating legacy drivers, we're moving the env package to a
new drivers/shared tree, as it is used by the modern docker and rkt
driver packages, and is useful for 3rd party plugins.
Introduce a device manager that manages the lifecycle of device plugins
on the client. It fingerprints, collects stats, and forwards Reserve
requests to the correct plugin. The manager, also handles device plugins
failing and validates their output.
Driver plugin framework to facilitate development of driver plugins.
Implementing plugins only need to implement the DriverPlugin interface.
The framework proxies this interface to the go-plugin GRPC interface generated
from the driver.proto spec.
A testing harness is provided to allow implementing drivers to test the full
lifecycle of the driver plugin. An example use:
func TestMyDriver(t *testing.T) {
harness := NewDriverHarness(t, &MyDiverPlugin{})
// The harness implements the DriverPlugin interface and can be used as such
taskHandle, err := harness.StartTask(...)
}
