The volume watcher design was based on deploymentwatcher and drainer,
but has an important difference: we don't want to maintain a goroutine
for the lifetime of the volume. So we stop the volumewatcher goroutine
for a volume when that volume has no more claims to free. But the
shutdown races with updates on the parent goroutine, and it's possible
to drop updates. Fortunately these updates are picked up on the next
core GC job, but we're most likely to hit this race when we're
replacing an allocation and that's the time we least want to wait.
Wait until the volume has "settled" before stopping this goroutine so
that the race between shutdown and the parent goroutine sending on
`<-updateCh` is pushed to after the window we most care about quick
freeing of claims.
* Fixes a resource leak when volumewatchers are no longer needed. The
volume is nil and can't ever be started again, so the volume's
`watcher` should be removed from the top-level `Watcher`.
* De-flakes the GC job test: the test throws an error because the
claimed node doesn't exist and is unreachable. This flaked instead of
failed because we didn't correctly wait for the first pass through the
volumewatcher.
Make the GC job wait for the volumewatcher to reach the quiescent
timeout window state before running the GC eval under test, so that
we're sure the GC job's work isn't being picked up by processing one
of the earlier claims. Update the claims used so that we're sure the
GC pass won't hit a node unpublish error.
* Adds trace logging to unpublish operations
The volumewatcher that runs on the leader needs to make RPC calls
rather than writing to raft (as we do in the deploymentwatcher)
because the unpublish workflow needs to make RPC calls to the
clients. This requires that the volumewatcher has access to the
leader's ACL token.
But when leadership transitions, the new leader creates a new leader
ACL token. This ACL token needs to be passed into the volumewatcher
when we enable it, otherwise the volumewatcher can find itself with a
stale token.
This changeset updates `nomad/volumewatcher` to take advantage of the
`CSIVolume.Unpublish` RPC. This lets us eliminate a bunch of code and
associated tests. The raft batching code can be safely dropped, as the
characteristic times of the CSI RPCs are on the order of seconds or even
minutes, so batching up raft RPCs added complexity without any real world
performance wins.
Includes refactor w/ test cleanup and dead code elimination in volumewatcher
This changeset adds a subsystem to run on the leader, similar to the
deployment watcher or node drainer. The `Watcher` performs a blocking
query on updates to the `CSIVolumes` table and triggers reaping of
volume claims.
This will avoid tying up scheduling workers by immediately sending
volume claim workloads into their own loop, rather than blocking the
scheduling workers in the core GC job doing things like talking to CSI
controllers
The volume watcher is enabled on leader step-up and disabled on leader
step-down.
The volume claim GC mechanism now makes an empty claim RPC for the
volume to trigger an index bump. That in turn unblocks the blocking
query in the volume watcher so it can assess which claims can be
released for a volume.
