**The Bug:**
You may have seen log lines like this when running 0.9.0-dev:
```
... client.alloc_runner.task_runner: some environment variables not available for rendering: ... keys="attr.driver.docker.volumes.enabled, attr.driver.docker.version, attr.driver.docker.bridge_ip, attr.driver.qemu.version"
```
Not only should we not be erroring on builtin driver attributes, but the
results were nondeterministic due to map iteration order!
The root cause is that we have an old root attribute for all drivers
like:
```
attr.driver.docker = "1"
```
When attributes were opaque variable names it was fine to also have
"nested" attributes like:
```
attr.driver.docker.version = "1.2.3"
```
However in the HCLv2 world the variable names are no longer opaque: they
form an object tree. The `docker` object can no longer both hold a value
(`"1"`) *and* nested attributes (`version = "1.2.3"`).
**The Fix:**
Since the old `attr.driver.<name> = "1"` attribues are useless for task
config interpolation, create a new precedence rule for creating the task
config evaluation context:
*Maps take precedence over primitives.*
This means `attr.driver.docker.version` will always take precedence over
`attr.driver.docker`. The results are determinstic and give users access
to the more useful metadata.
I made this a general precedence rule instead of special-casing driver
attrs because it seemed like better default behavior than spamming
WARNings to logs that were likely unactionable by users.
Unfortunately I don't know how to test these errors. As far as I can
tell they should only happen if there was a programming error in the
upgrade code or the underlying boltdb was corrupted somehow.
* Prefix task bucket with task- to prevent name conflicts
* Shorten device manager bucket name
* Remove commented out outdated var
* Update layout comment
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.
The assertion here is causing many spurious failures that aren't
actually relevant to the test itself.
We are tracking the cause for this failure independently, and it would
make more sense to have a dedicated test for clean shutdown.
Currently, there is a race condition between creating a taskrunner, and
updating node attributes via fingerprinting.
This is because the taskenv builder will try to iterate over the
clientconfig.Node.Attributes map, which can be concurrently updated by
the fingerprinting process, thus causing a panic.
This fixes that by providing a copy of the clientconfg to the
allocrunner inside the Read lock during config creation.
The allocLock is used to synchronize access to the alloc runner map, not
to ensure internal consistency of the alloc runners themselves. This
updates the updateAlloc process to avoid hanging on to an exclusive lock
of the map while applying changes to allocrunners themselves, as they
should be internally consistent.
This fixes a bug where any client allocation api will block during the
shutdown or updating of an allocrunner and its child taskrunners.
Fixes a bug where a driver health and attributes are never updated from
their initial status. If a driver started unhealthy, it may never go
into a healthy status.
Noticed few places where tests seem to block indefinitely and panic
after the test run reaches the test package timeout.
I intend to follow up with the proper fix later, but timing out is much
better than indefinitely blocking.
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.
The Group Alloc watcher is an implementation of a PrevAllocWatcher that
can wait for multiple previous allocs before terminating.
This is to be used when running an allocation that is preempting upstream
allocations, and thus only supports being ran with a local alloc watcher.
It also currently requires all of its child watchers to correctly handle
context cancellation. Should this be a problem, it should be fairly easy
to implement a replacement using channels rather than a waitgroup.
It obeys the PrevAllocWatcher interface for convenience, but it may be
better to extract Migration capabilities into a seperate interface for
greater clarity.
As of now, FileRotator uses bufio.Write under the hood to write data to
configured output file. Due to the way how bufio handles any occurred io
error - saves it into `err` variable never resetting it automatically -
any operation like `Write`, `Flush` etc will become a no-op, returning the very same,
saved error (eg. Out of disk space) even when the problem is fixed (eg. disk
space is available again).
That automatically means that FileRotator will stop writing any logs,
reporting the same error over and over again, even if it's no longer
valid.
This PR fixes it by resetting the bufio Writer, which resets any errors
and tries to write requested data.
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.
The previous integration test was broken during the client refactor, and
it seems to be some sort of race with state updating.
I'm going to try and construct a replacement test as part of work on
performance, but for now, the underlying behaviour is still being
tested.
This removes a cyclical dependency when importing client/structs from
dependencies of the plugin_loader, specifically, drivers. Due to
client/config also depending on the plugin_loader.
It also better reflects the ownership of fingerprint structs, as they
are fairly internal to the fingerprint manager.
