Embed pointer conversion functions in the API package to avoid
unnecessary package dependency. `helper` package imports more
dependencies relevant for internal use (e.g. `hcl`).
nomad/structs is an internal package and imports many libraries (e.g.
raft, codec) that are not relevant to api clients, and may cause
unnecessary dependency pain (e.g. `github.com/ugorji/go/codec`
version is very old now).
Here, we add a code generator that imports the relevant constants from
`nomad/structs`.
I considered using this approach for other structs, but didn't find a
quick viable way to reduce duplication. `nomad/structs` use values as
struct fields (e.g. `string`), while `api` uses value pointer (e.g.
`*string`) instead. Also, sometimes, `api` structs contain deprecated
fields or additional documentation, so simple copy-paste doesn't work.
For these reasons, I opt to keep the status quo.
Before the drain CLI would block until the node was marked as completing
drain operations. While technically correct, it could lead operators (or
more likely: scripts) to shutdown drained nodes before all of its
allocations had *actually* terminated.
This change makes the CLI block until all allocations have terminated
(unless ignoring system jobs).
This PR allows marking a node as eligible for scheduling while toggling
drain. By default the `nomad node drain -disable` commmand will mark it
as eligible but the drainer will maintain in-eligibility.
This PR enhances the API package by having client only RPCs route
through the server when they are low cost and for filesystem access to
first attempt a direct connection to the node and then falling back to
a server routed request.
* Truncate all UUID identifiers to eight characters by default
* Refactor the node identifier to an auto-generated UUID
* Created and updated tests and mocks
