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 commit:
* Improves how we combine the old retry-* fields and the new stanza and
how it is validated
* Handles the new stanza setting start_join
* Fixes integration test to not bind to the standard port and instead be
randomized.
* Simplifies parsing of the old retry_interval
* Fixes the errors from retry join being masked
* Flags get parsed into new server_join stanza
Allow to set the total memory of an agent in its configuration file. This
can be used in case the automatic detection doesn't work or in specific
environments when memory overcommit (using swap for example) can be
desirable.
This change allows the client HTTP and the server HTTP, Serf and
RPC health check names within Consul to be configurable with the
defaults as previous. The configuration can be done via either a
config file or using CLI flags.
Closes#3988
This PR allows tuning of heartbeat TTLs. An example of very aggressive
settings is as follows:
```
server {
heartbeat_grace = "1s"
min_heartbeat_ttl = "1s"
max_heartbeats_per_second = 200.0
}
```
This PR:
* Uses Go 1.8 executable lookup
* Stores any err message from stats init method
* Allows overriding of Cpu Compute for hosts where it can't be detected
This PR introduces a parallelism limit during garbage collection. This
is used to avoid large resource usage spikes if garbage collecting many
allocations at once.
