Previously, if a channel is closed, we retry the Stats call. But, if that call
fails, we go in a backoff loop without calling Stats ever again.
Here, we use a utility function for calling driverHandle.Stats call that retries
as one expects.
I aimed to preserve the logging formats but made small improvements as I saw fit.
When an alloc runner prestart hook fails, the task runners aren't invoked
and they remain in a pending state.
This leads to terrible results, some of which are:
* Lockup in GC process as reported in https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/5861
* Lockup in shutdown process as TR.Shutdown() waits for WaitCh to be closed
* Alloc not being restarted/rescheduled to another node (as it's still in
pending state)
* Unexpected restart of alloc on a client restart, potentially days/weeks after
alloc expected start time!
Here, we treat all tasks to have failed if alloc runner prestart hook fails.
This fixes the lockups, and permits the alloc to be rescheduled on another node.
While it's desirable to retry alloc runner in such failures, I opted to treat it
out of scope. I'm afraid of some subtles about alloc and task runners and their
idempotency that's better handled in a follow up PR.
This might be one of the root causes for
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/5840 .
This change fixes a bug where nomad would avoid running alloc tasks if
the alloc is client terminal but the server copy on the client isn't
marked as running.
Here, we fix the case by having task runner uses the
allocRunner.shouldRun() instead of only checking the server updated
alloc.
Here, we preserve much of the invariants such that `tr.Run()` is always
run, and don't change the overall alloc runner and task runner
lifecycles.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/5883
Currently, if killTask results in the termination of a process before
calling WaitTask, Restart() will incorrectly return a TaskNotFound
error when using the raw_exec driver on Windows.
We currently only run cleanup Service Hooks when a task is either
Killed, or Exited. However, due to the implementation of a task runner,
tasks are only Exited if they every correctly started running, which is
not true when you recieve an error early in the task start flow, such as
not being able to pull secrets from Vault.
This updates the service hook to also call consul deregistration
routines during a task Stop lifecycle event, to ensure that any
registered checks and services are cleared in such cases.
fixes#5770
When a client is running against an old server (e.g. running 0.8),
`alloc.AllocatedResources` may be nil, and we need to check the
deprecated `alloc.TaskResources` instead.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/5810
Alloc runner already tracks tasks associated with alloc. Here, we
become defensive by relying on the alloc runner tracked tasks, rather
than depend on server never updating the job unexpectedly.
This fixes an issue where batch and service workloads would never be
restarted due to indefinitely blocking on a nil channel.
It also raises the restoration logging message to `Info` to simplify log
analysis.
Registration and restoring allocs don't share state or depend on each
other in any way (syncing allocs with servers is done outside of
registration).
Since restoring is synchronous, start the registration goroutine first.
For nodes with lots of allocs to restore or close to their heartbeat
deadline, this could be the difference between becoming "lost" or not.
Refactoring of 104067bc2b2002a4e45ae7b667a476b89addc162
Switch the MarkLive method for a chan that is closed by the client.
Thanks to @notnoop for the idea!
The old approach called a method on most existing ARs and TRs on every
runAllocs call. The new approach does a once.Do call in runAllocs to
accomplish the same thing with less work. Able to remove the gate
abstraction that did much more than was needed.
Fixes#1795
Running restored allocations and pulling what allocations to run from
the server happen concurrently. This means that if a client is rebooted,
and has its allocations rescheduled, it may restart the dead allocations
before it contacts the server and determines they should be dead.
This commit makes tasks that fail to reattach on restore wait until the
server is contacted before restarting.

`client.allocs.<job>.<group>.<alloc>.<task>.memory.allocated` as a gauge

* client: was not using up-to-date client state in determining which alloc count towards allocated resources

This fixes a confusing UX where a previously successful deployment's
healthy/unhealthy count would get updated if any allocations failed after
the deployment was already marked as successful.
This command will be used to send a signal to either a single task within an
allocation, or all of the tasks if <task-name> is omitted. If the sent signal
terminates the allocation, it will be treated as if the allocation has crashed,
rather than as if it was operator-terminated.
Signal validation is currently handled by the driver itself and nomad
does not attempt to restrict or validate them.
Currently, when logmon fails to reattach, we will retry reattachment to
the same pid until the task restart specification is exhausted.
Because we cannot clear hook state during error conditions, it is not
possible for us to signal to a future restart that it _shouldn't_
attempt to reattach to the plugin.
Here we revert to explicitly detecting reattachment seperately from a
launch of a new logmon, so we can recover from scenarios where a logmon
plugin has failed.
This is a net improvement over the current hard failure situation, as it
means in the most common case (the pid has gone away), we can recover.
Other reattachment failure modes where the plugin may still be running
could potentially cause a duplicate process, or a subsequent failure to launch
a new plugin.
If there was a duplicate process, it could potentially cause duplicate
logging. This is better than a production workload outage.
If there was a subsequent failure to launch a new plugin, it would fail
in the same (retry until restarts are exhausted) as the current failure
mode.
This adds a `nomad alloc restart` command and api that allows a job operator
with the alloc-lifecycle acl to perform an in-place restart of a Nomad
allocation, or a given subtask.
Remove runLaunched tracking as Run is *always* called for killable
TaskRunners. TaskRunners which fail before Run can be called (during
NewTaskRunner or Restore) are not killable as they're never added to the
client's alloc map.
I chose to make them more of integration tests since there's a lot more
plumbing involved. The internal implementation details of how we craft
task envs can now change and these tests will still properly assert the
task runtime environment is setup properly.
Some of the context uses in TR hooks are useless (Killed during Stop
never seems meaningful).
None of the hooks are interruptable for graceful shutdown which is
unfortunate and probably needs fixing.
Builds upon earlier commit that cleans up restored handles of terminal
allocs by also emitting terminated events and calling exited hooks when
appropriate.
The test is sadly quite complicated and peeks into things (logmon's
reattach config) AR doesn't normally have access to.
However, I couldn't find another way of asserting logmon got cleaned up
without resorting to smaller unit tests. Smaller unit tests risk
re-implementing dependencies in an unrealistic way, so I opted for an
ugly integration test.
This commit is a significant change. TR.Run is now always executed, even
for terminal allocations. This was changed to allow TR.Run to cleanup
(run stop hooks) if a handle was recovered.
This is intended to handle the case of Nomad receiving a
DesiredStatus=Stop allocation update, persisting it, but crashing before
stopping AR/TR.
The commit also renames task runner hook data as it was very easy to
accidently set state on Requests instead of Responses using the old
field names.
This code chooses to be conservative as opposed to optimal: when failing
to reattach to logmon simply return a recoverable error instead of
immediately trying to restart logmon.
The recoverable error will cause the task's restart policy to be
applied and a new logmon will be launched upon restart.
Trying to do the optimal approach of simply starting a new logmon
requires error string comparison and should be tested against a task
actively logging to assert the behavior (are writes blocked? dropped?).
There were multiple bugs here:
1. Reattach unmarshalling always returned an error because you can't
unmarshal into a nil pointer.
2. The hook data wasn't being saved because it was put on the request
struct, not the response struct.
3. The plugin configuration should only have reattach *or* a command
set. Not both.
4. Setting Done=true meant the hook was never re-run on agent restart so
reattaching was never attempted.
Track the download status of each artifact independently so that if only
one of many artifacts fails to download, completed artifacts aren't
downloaded again.
0.9.0beta2 contains a regression where artifact download errors would
not cause a task restart and instead immediately fail the task.
This restores the pre-0.9 behavior of retrying all artifact errors and
adds missing tests.
Fixes an issue where if a task was restarted after restating the client,
the task dir environment variables would not be populated. This PR fixes
this for both upgrades from 0.8.X and for normal 0.9 restarts.
Added ability to adjust the number of events the TaskRunner keeps as
there's no way to observe all events otherwise.
Task events differ slightly from 0.8 because 0.9 emits Terminated every
time a task exits instead of only when it exits on its own (not due to
restart or kill).
0.9 does not emit Killing/Killed for restarts like 0.8 which seems fine
as `Restart Signaled/Terminated/Restarting` is more descriptive.
Original v0.8 events emitted:
```
expected := []string{
"Received",
"Task Setup",
"Started",
"Restart Signaled",
"Killing",
"Killed",
"Restarting",
"Started",
"Restart Signaled",
"Killing",
"Killed",
"Restarting",
"Started",
"Restart Signaled",
"Killing",
"Killed",
"Not Restarting",
}
```
v0.9.0-dev started emitting a Terminated event every time a task process
exited. While this wasn't true in previous versions, it's a useful task
event because it's the only place for job operators to view the task's
exit code.
This behavior is asserted in the e2e/taskevents tests.
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

This PR improves how killing a task is handled. Before the kill function
directly orchestrated the killing and was only valid while the task was
running. The new behavior is to mark the desired state and wait for the
task runner to converge to that state.
We were just emitting Killed/Terminated events before. In v0.8 we
emitted Killing/Killed, but lacked Terminated when explicitly stopping
a task. This change makes it so Terminated is always included, whether
explicitly stopping a task or it exiting on its own.

Simplify allocDir.Build() function to avoid depending on client/structs,
and remove a parameter that's always set to `false`.
The motivation here is to avoid a dependency cycle between
drivers/cstructs and alloc_dir.
The driver manager is modeled after the device manager and is started by the client.
It's responsible for handling driver lifecycle and reattachment state, as well as
processing the incomming fingerprint and task events from each driver. The mananger
exposes a method for registering event handlers for task events that is used by the
task runner to update the server when a task has been updated with an event.
Since driver fingerprinting has been implemented by the driver manager, it is no
longer needed in the fingerprint mananger and has been removed.
The RestartCount is not really suitable for use as a source of
uniqueness within task invocations as it is not monotonic, and interacts
with the restart stanza in a users config, so conflates restarts due to
task failures, with restarts due to enviromental changes, such as consul
template or vault secrets changing.
Here we instead use a substring from a uuid, which is more random than
we strictly need, but is nicer than rolling our own random string
generator here.
This creates a new buffered channel and goroutine on the allocrunner for
serializing updates to allocations. This allows us to take updates off
the routine that is used from processing updates from the server,
without having complicated machinery for tracking update lifetimes, or
other external synchronization.
This results in a nice performance improvement and signficantly better
throughput on batch changes such as preempting a large number of jobs
for a larger placement.
This commit reduces the locking required to shutdown or destroy
allocrunners, and allows parallel shutdown and destroy of allocrunners during
shutdown.
When starting an allocation that is preempting other allocs, we create a
new group allocation watcher, and then wait for the allocations to
terminate in the allocation PreRun hooks.
If there's no preempted allocations, then we simply provide a
NoopAllocWatcher.
