Operators commonly have docker logs aggregated using various tools and
don't need nomad to manage their docker logs. Worse, Nomad uses a
somewhat heavy docker api call to collect them and it seems to cause
problems when a client runs hundreds of log collections.
Here we add a knob to disable log aggregation completely for nomad.
When log collection is disabled, we avoid running logmon and
docker_logger for the docker tasks in this implementation.
The downside here is once disabled, `nomad logs ...` commands and API
no longer return logs and operators must corrolate alloc-ids with their
aggregated log info.
This is meant as a stop gap measure. Ideally, we'd follow up with at
least two changes:
First, we should optimize behavior when we can such that operators don't
need to disable docker log collection. Potentially by reverting to
using pre-0.9 syslog aggregation in linux environments, though with
different trade-offs.
Second, when/if logs are disabled, nomad logs endpoints should lookup
docker logs api on demand. This ensures that the cost of log collection
is paid sparingly.
* fix plugin launcher SetConfig msgpack params
The plugin launcher tool was passing the wrong byte array into
`SetConfig`, resulting in msgpack decoding errors. This was fixed in
a949050 (#6725) but accidentally reverted in 6aff18d (#6590).

This commit introduces support for configuring mount propagation when
mounting volumes with the `volume_mount` stanza on Linux targets.
Similar to Kubernetes, we expose 3 options for configuring mount
propagation:
- private, which is equivalent to `rprivate` on Linux, which does not allow the
container to see any new nested mounts after the chroot was created.
- host-to-task, which is equivalent to `rslave` on Linux, which allows new mounts
that have been created _outside of the container_ to be visible
inside the container after the chroot is created.
- bidirectional, which is equivalent to `rshared` on Linux, which allows both
the container to see new mounts created on the host, but
importantly _allows the container to create mounts that are
visible in other containers an don the host_
private and host-to-task are safe, but bidirectional mounts can be
dangerous, as if the code inside a container creates a mount, and does
not clean it up before tearing down the container, it can cause bad
things to happen inside the kernel.
To add a layer of safety here, we require that the user has ReadWrite
permissions on the volume before allowing bidirectional mounts, as a
defense in depth / validation case, although creating mounts should also require
a priviliged execution environment inside the container.
NetIsolationModes and MustInitiateNetwork were left out of the
driver Capabilities when using an external task driver plugin

Adds a new Prerun and Postrun hooks to manage set up of network namespaces
on linux. Work still needs to be done to make the code platform agnostic and
support Docker style network initalization.
The driver plugin stub client must call `grpcutils.HandleGrpcErr` to handle plugin
shutdown similar to other functions. This ensures that TaskStats returns
`ErrPluginShutdown` when plugin shutdown.
Our testing so far indicates that ugorji/go/codec maintains backward
compatiblity with the version we are using now, for purposes of Nomad
serialization.
Using latest ugorji/go allows us to get back to using upstream library,
get get the optimizations benefits in RPC paths (including code
generation optimizations).
ugorji/go introduced two significant changes:
* time binary format in debb8e2d2e. Setting `h.BasicHandle.TimeNotBuiltin = true` restores old behavior
* ugorji/go started honoring `json` tag as well:
v1.1.4 is the latest but has a bug in handling RawString that's fixed in
d09a80c1e0
.
In this commit, we add two driver interfaces for supporting `nomad exec`
invocation:
* A high level `ExecTaskStreamingDriver`, that operates on io reader/writers.
Drivers should prefer using this interface
* A low level `ExecTaskStreamingRawDriver` that operates on the raw stream of
input structs; useful when a driver delegates handling to driver backend (e.g.
across RPC/grpc).
The interfaces are optional for a driver, as `nomad exec` support is opt-in.
Existing drivers continue to compile without exec support, until their
maintainer add such support.
Furthermore, we create protobuf structures to represent exec stream entities:
`ExecTaskStreamingRequest` and `ExecTaskStreamingResponse`. We aim to reuse the
protobuf generated code as much as possible, without translation to avoid
conversion overhead.
`ExecTaskStream` abstract fetching and sending stream entities. It's influenced
by the grpc bi-directional stream interface, to avoid needing any adapter. I
considered using channels, but the asynchronisity and concurrency makes buffer
reuse too complicated, which would put more pressure on GC and slows exec operation.
Fix a case where TotalTicks doesn't get serialized across executor grpc
calls.
Here, I opted to implicit add field, rather than explicitly mark it as a
measured field, because it's a derived field and to preserve 0.8
behavior where total ticks aren't explicitly marked as a measured field.
Noticed that the protobuf files are out of sync with ones generated by 1.2.0 protoc go plugin.
The cause for these files seem to be related to release processes, e.g. [0.9.0-beta1 preperation](ecec3d38de (diff-da4da188ee496377d456025c2eab4e87)), and [0.9.0-beta3 preperation](b849d84f2f).
This restores the changes to that of the pinned protoc version and fails build if protobuf files are out of sync. Sample failing Travis job is that of the first commit change: https://travis-ci.org/hashicorp/nomad/jobs/506285085
As far as I can tell this is the most straightforward and resilient way
to skip error logging on context cancellation with grpc streams. You
cannot compare the error against context.Canceled directly as it is of
type `*status.statusError`. The next best solution I found was:
```go
resp, err := stream.Recv()
if code, ok := err.(interface{ Code() code.Code }); ok {
if code.Code == code.Canceled {
return
}
}
```
However I think checking ctx.Err() directly makes the code much easier
to read and is resilient against grpc API changes.
Track current memory usage, `memory.usage_in_bytes`, in addition to
`memory.max_memory_usage_in_bytes` and friends. This number is closer
what Docker reports.

plugins/driver: update driver interface to support streaming stats
client/tr: use streaming stats api
TODO:
* how to handle errors and closed channel during stats streaming
* prevent tight loop if Stats(ctx) returns an error
drivers: update drivers TaskStats RPC to handle streaming results
executor: better error handling in stats rpc
docker: better control and error handling of stats rpc
driver: allow stats to return a recoverable error
Re-export the ResourceUsage structs in drivers package to avoid drivers
directly depending on the internal client/structs package directly.
I attempted moving the structs to drivers, but that caused some import
cycles that was a bit hard to disentagle. Alternatively, I added an
alias here that's sufficient for our purposes of avoiding external
drivers depend on internal packages, while allowing us to restructure
packages in future without breaking source compatibility.

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 allows us to drop a cyclical import, but is subobptimal as it
requires BaseDriver tests to move. This falls firmly into the realm of
being a hack. Alternatives welcome.
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.
This PR introduces a device hook that retrieves the device mount
information for an allocation. It also updates the computed node class
computation to take into account devices.
TODO Fix the task runner unit test. The environment variable is being
lost even though it is being properly set in the prestart hook.
In state values, we need to be able to distinguish between zero values
(e.g. `false`) and unset values (e.g. `nil`).
We can alternatively use protobuf `oneOf` and nested map to ensure
consistency of fields that are set together, but the golang
representation does not represent that well and introducing a mismatch
between representations. Thus, I opted not to use it.
This PR plumbs the plugins done ctx through the base and driver plugin
clients (device already had it). Further, it adds generic handling of
gRPC stream errors.
