This commit implements support for creating driver mounts for CSI
Volumes.
It works by fetching the created mounts from the allocation resources
and then iterates through the volume requests, creating driver mount
configs as required.
It's a little bit messy primarily because there's _so_ much terminology
overlap and it's a bit difficult to follow.
This commit is an initial (read: janky) approach to forwarding state
from an allocrunner hook to a taskrunner using a similar `hookResources`
approach that tr's use internally.
It should eventually probably be replaced with something a little bit
more message based, but for things that only come from pre-run hooks,
and don't change, it's probably fine for now.
This commit introduces the first stage of volume mounting for an
allocation. The csimanager.VolumeMounter interface manages the blocking
and actual minutia of the CSI implementation allowing this hook to do
the minimal work of volume retrieval and creating mount info.
In the future the `CSIVolume.Get` request should be replaced by
`CSIVolume.Claim(Batch?)` to minimize the number of RPCs and to handle
external triggering of a ControllerPublishVolume request as required.
We also need to ensure that if pre-run hooks fail, we still get a full
unwinding of any publish and staged volumes to ensure that there are no hanging
references to volumes. That is not handled in this commit.
As part of introducing support for CSI, AllocRunner hooks need to be
able to communicate with Nomad Servers for validation of and interaction
with storage volumes. Here we create a small RPCer interface and pass
the client (rpc client) to the AR in preparation for making these RPCs.
When providing paths to plugins, the path needs to be in the scope of
the plugins container, rather than that of the host.
Here we enable that by providing the mount point through the plugin
registration and then use it when constructing request target paths.
This changeset is some pre-requisite boilerplate that is required for
introducing CSI volume management for client nodes.
It extracts out fingerprinting logic from the csi instance manager.
This change is to facilitate reusing the csimanager to also manage the
node-local CSI functionality, as it is the easiest place for us to
guaruntee health checking and to provide additional visibility into the
running operations through the fingerprinter mechanism and goroutine.
It also introduces the VolumeMounter interface that will be used to
manage staging/publishing unstaging/unpublishing of volumes on the host.
This changeset implements the initial registration and fingerprinting
of CSI Plugins as part of #5378. At a high level, it introduces the
following:
* A `csi_plugin` stanza as part of a Nomad task configuration, to
allow a task to expose that it is a plugin.
* A new task runner hook: `csi_plugin_supervisor`. This hook does two
things. When the `csi_plugin` stanza is detected, it will
automatically configure the plugin task to receive bidirectional
mounts to the CSI intermediary directory. At runtime, it will then
perform an initial heartbeat of the plugin and handle submitting it to
the new `dynamicplugins.Registry` for further use by the client, and
then run a lightweight heartbeat loop that will emit task events
when health changes.
* The `dynamicplugins.Registry` for handling plugins that run
as Nomad tasks, in contrast to the existing catalog that requires
`go-plugin` type plugins and to know the plugin configuration in
advance.
* The `csimanager` which fingerprints CSI plugins, in a similar way to
`drivermanager` and `devicemanager`. It currently only fingerprints
the NodeID from the plugin, and assumes that all plugins are
monolithic.
Missing features
* We do not use the live updates of the `dynamicplugin` registry in
the `csimanager` yet.
* We do not deregister the plugins from the client when they shutdown
yet, they just become indefinitely marked as unhealthy. This is
deliberate until we figure out how we should manage deploying new
versions of plugins/transitioning them.
Fixes a bug where an allocation is considered healthy if some of the
tasks are being restarted and as such, their checks aren't tracked by
consul agent client.
Here, we fix the immediate case by ensuring that an alloc is healthy
only if tasks are running and the registered checks at the time are
healthy.
Previously, health tracker tracked task "health" independently from
checks and leads to problems when a task restarts. Consider the
following series of events:
1. all tasks start running -> `tracker.tasksHealthy` is true
2. one task has unhealthy checks and get restarted
3. remaining checks are healthy -> `tracker.checksHealthy` is true
4. propagate health status now that `tracker.tasksHealthy` and
`tracker.checksHealthy`.
This change ensures that we accurately use the latest status of tasks
and checks regardless of their status changes.
Also, ensures that we only consider check health after tasks are
considered healthy, otherwise we risk trusting incomplete checks.
This approach accomodates task dependencies well. Service jobs can have
prestart short-lived tasks that will terminate before main process runs.
These dead tasks that complete successfully will not negate health
status.
Consul provides a feature of Service Definitions where the tags
associated with a service can be modified through the Catalog API,
overriding the value(s) configured in the agent's service configuration.
To enable this feature, the flag enable_tag_override must be configured
in the service definition.
Previously, Nomad did not allow configuring this flag, and thus the default
value of false was used. Now, it is configurable.
Because Nomad itself acts as a state machine around the the service definitions
of the tasks it manages, it's worth describing what happens when this feature
is enabled and why.
Consider the basic case where there is no Nomad, and your service is provided
to consul as a boring JSON file. The ultimate source of truth for the definition
of that service is the file, and is stored in the agent. Later, Consul performs
"anti-entropy" which synchronizes the Catalog (stored only the leaders). Then
with enable_tag_override=true, the tags field is available for "external"
modification through the Catalog API (rather than directly configuring the
service definition file, or using the Agent API). The important observation
is that if the service definition ever changes (i.e. the file is changed &
config reloaded OR the Agent API is used to modify the service), those
"external" tag values are thrown away, and the new service definition is
once again the source of truth.
In the Nomad case, Nomad itself is the source of truth over the Agent in
the same way the JSON file was the source of truth in the example above.
That means any time Nomad sets a new service definition, any externally
configured tags are going to be replaced. When does this happen? Only on
major lifecycle events, for example when a task is modified because of an
updated job spec from the 'nomad job run <existing>' command. Otherwise,
Nomad's periodic re-sync's with Consul will now no longer try to restore
the externally modified tag values (as long as enable_tag_override=true).

Re-orient the management of the tr.kill to happen in the parent of
the spawned goroutine that is doing the actual token derivation. This
makes the code a little more straightforward, making it easier to
reason about not leaking the worker goroutine.
The derivation of an SI token needs to be safegaurded by a context
timeout, otherwise an unresponsive Consul could cause the siHook
to block forever on Prestart.
Apply smaller suggestions like doc strings, variable names, etc.

The TestEnvoyBootstrapHook_maybeLoadSIToken test case only works when
running as a non-priveleged user, since it deliberately tries to read
an un-readable file to simulate a failure loading the SI token file.
Was thinking about using the testing pattern where you create executable
shell scripts as test resources which "mock" the process a bit of code
is meant to fork+exec. Turns out that wasn't really necessary in this case.
When creating the envoy bootstrap configuration, we should append
the "-token=<token>" argument in the case where the sidsHook placed
the token in the secrets directory.
Nomad jobs may be configured with a TaskGroup which contains a Service
definition that is Consul Connect enabled. These service definitions end
up establishing a Consul Connect Proxy Task (e.g. envoy, by default). In
the case where Consul ACLs are enabled, a Service Identity token is required
for these tasks to run & connect, etc. This changeset enables the Nomad Server
to recieve RPC requests for the derivation of SI tokens on behalf of instances
of Consul Connect using Tasks. Those tokens are then relayed back to the
requesting Client, which then injects the tokens in the secrets directory of
the Task.
When a job is configured with Consul Connect aware tasks (i.e. sidecar),
the Nomad Client should be able to request from Consul (through Nomad Server)
Service Identity tokens specific to those tasks.
Now that alloc.Canonicalize() is called in all alloc sources in the
client (i.e. on state restore and RPC fetching), we no longer need to
check alloc.TaskResources.
alloc.AllocatedResources is always non-nil through alloc runner.
Though, early on, we check for alloc validity, so NewTaskRunner and
TaskEnv must still check. `TestClient_AddAllocError` test validates
that behavior.
In 0.10.2 (specifically 387b016) we added interpolation to group
service blocks and centralized the logic for task environment
interpolation. This wasn't also added to script checks, which caused a
regression where the IDs for script checks for services w/
interpolated fields (ex. the service name) didn't match the service ID
that was registered with Consul.
This changeset calls the same taskenv interpolation logic during
`script_check` configuration, and adds tests to reduce the risk of
future regressions by comparing the IDs of service hook and the check hook.

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.
* client: improve group service stanza interpolation and check_restart support
Interpolation can now be done on group service stanzas. Note that some task runtime specific information
that was previously available when the service was registered poststart of a task is no longer available.
The check_restart stanza for checks defined on group services will now properly restart the allocation upon
check failures if configured.
makeAllocTaskServices did not do a nil check on AllocatedResources
which causes a panic when upgrading directly from 0.8 to 0.10. While
skipping 0.9 is not supported we intend to fix serious crashers caused
by such upgrades to prevent cluster outages.
I did a quick audit of the client package and everywhere else that
accesses AllocatedResources appears to be properly guarded by a nil
check.

The prestart hook for templates blocks while it resolves vault secrets.
If the secret is not found it continues to retry. If a task is shutdown
during this time, the prestart hook currently does not receive
shutdownCtxCancel, causing it to hang.
This PR joins the two contexts so either killCtx or shutdownCtx cancel
and stop the task.
Currently, there is an issue when running on Windows whereby under some
circumstances the Windows stats API's will begin to return errors (such
as internal timeouts) when a client is under high load, and potentially
other forms of resource contention / system states (and other unknown
cases).
When an error occurs during this collection, we then short circuit
further metrics emission from the client until the next interval.
This can be problematic if it happens for a sustained number of
intervals, as our metrics aggregator will begin to age out older
metrics, and we will eventually stop emitting various types of metrics
including `nomad.client.unallocated.*` metrics.
However, when metrics collection fails on Linux, gopsutil will in many cases
(e.g cpu.Times) silently return 0 values, rather than an error.
Here, we switch to returning empty metrics in these failures, and
logging the error at the source. This brings the behaviour into line
with Linux/Unix platforms, and although making aggregation a little
sadder on intermittent failures, will result in more desireable overall
behaviour of keeping metrics available for further investigation if
things look unusual.
Currently, using a Volume in a job uses the following configuration:
```
volume "alias-name" {
type = "volume-type"
read_only = true
config {
source = "host_volume_name"
}
}
```
This commit migrates to the following:
```
volume "alias-name" {
type = "volume-type"
source = "host_volume_name"
read_only = true
}
```
The original design was based due to being uncertain about the future of storage
plugins, and to allow maxium flexibility.
However, this causes a few issues, namely:
- We frequently need to parse this configuration during submission,
scheduling, and mounting
- It complicates the configuration from and end users perspective
- It complicates the ability to do validation
As we understand the problem space of CSI a little more, it has become
clear that we won't need the `source` to be in config, as it will be
used in the majority of cases:
- Host Volumes: Always need a source
- Preallocated CSI Volumes: Always needs a source from a volume or claim name
- Dynamic Persistent CSI Volumes*: Always needs a source to attach the volumes
to for managing upgrades and to avoid dangling.
- Dynamic Ephemeral CSI Volumes*: Less thought out, but `source` will probably point
to the plugin name, and a `config` block will
allow you to pass meta to the plugin. Or will
point to a pre-configured ephemeral config.
*If implemented
The new design simplifies this by merging the source into the volume
stanza to solve the above issues with usability, performance, and error
handling.
Splitting the immutable and mutable components of the scriptCheck led
to a bug where the environment interpolation wasn't being incorporated
into the check's ID, which caused the UpdateTTL to update for a check
ID that Consul didn't have (because our Consul client creates the ID
from the structs.ServiceCheck each time we update).
Task group services don't have access to a task environment at
creation, so their checks get registered before the check can be
interpolated. Use the original check ID so they can be updated.

In Nomad prior to Consul Connect, all Consul checks work the same
except for Script checks. Because the Task being checked is running in
its own container namespaces, the check is executed by Nomad in the
Task's context. If the Script check passes, Nomad uses the TTL check
feature of Consul to update the check status. This means in order to
run a Script check, we need to know what Task to execute it in.
To support Consul Connect, we need Group Services, and these need to
be registered in Consul along with their checks. We could push the
Service down into the Task, but this doesn't work if someone wants to
associate a service with a task's ports, but do script checks in
another task in the allocation.
Because Nomad is handling the Script check and not Consul anyways,
this moves the script check handling into the task runner so that the
task runner can own the script check's configuration and
lifecycle. This will allow us to pass the group service check
configuration down into a task without associating the service itself
with the task.
When tasks are checked for script checks, we walk back through their
task group to see if there are script checks associated with the
task. If so, we'll spin off script check tasklets for them. The
group-level service and any restart behaviors it needs are entirely
encapsulated within the group service hook.
* connect: add unix socket to proxy grpc for envoy

Protect against a race where destroying and persist state goroutines
race.
The downside is that the database io operation will run while holding
the lock and may run indefinitely. The risk of lock being long held is
slow destruction, but slow io has bigger problems.
This fixes a bug where allocs that have been GCed get re-run again after client
is restarted. A heavily-used client may launch thousands of allocs on startup
and get killed.
The bug is that an alloc runner that gets destroyed due to GC remains in
client alloc runner set. Periodically, they get persisted until alloc is
gced by server. During that time, the client db will contain the alloc
but not its individual tasks status nor completed state. On client restart,
client assumes that alloc is pending state and re-runs it.
Here, we fix it by ensuring that destroyed alloc runners don't persist any alloc
to the state DB.
This is a short-term fix, as we should consider revamping client state
management. Storing alloc and task information in non-transaction non-atomic
concurrently while alloc runner is running and potentially changing state is a
recipe for bugs.
