Nomad inherited protocol version numbering configuration from Consul and
Serf, but unlike those projects Nomad has never used it. Nomad's
`protocol_version` has always been `1`.
While the code is effectively unused and therefore poses no runtime
risks to leave, I felt like removing it was best because:
1. Nomad's RPC subsystem has been able to evolve extensively without
needing to increment the version number.
2. Nomad's HTTP API has evolved extensively without increment
`API{Major,Minor}Version`. If we want to version the HTTP API in the
future, I doubt this is the mechanism we would choose.
3. The presence of the `server.protocol_version` configuration
parameter is confusing since `server.raft_protocol` *is* an important
parameter for operators to consider. Even more confusing is that
there is a distinct Serf protocol version which is included in `nomad
server members` output under the heading `Protocol`. `raft_protocol`
is the *only* protocol version relevant to Nomad developers and
operators. The other protocol versions are either deadcode or have
never changed (Serf).
4. If we were to need to version the RPC, HTTP API, or Serf protocols, I
don't think these configuration parameters and variables are the best
choice. If we come to that point we should choose a versioning scheme
based on the use case and modern best practices -- not this 6+ year
old dead code.
Track usage of incoming streams on a connection. Connections without
reference counts get marked as unused and reaped in a periodic job.
This fixes a bug where `alloc exec` and `alloc fs` sessions get terminated
unexpectedly. Previously, when a client heartbeats switches between
servers, the pool connection reaper eventually identifies the connection
as unused and closes it even if it has an active exec/fs sessions.
Fixes#10579
This commit includes a new test client that allows overriding the RPC
protocols. Only the RPCs that are passed in are registered, which lets you
implement a mock RPC in the server tests. This commit includes an example of
this for the ClientCSI RPC server.
The current implementation measures RPC request timeout only against
config.RPCHoldTimeout, which is fine for non-blocking requests but will
almost surely be exceeded by long-poll requests that block for minutes
at a time.
This adds an HasTimedOut method on the RPCInfo interface that takes into
account whether the request is blocking, its maximum wait time, and the
RPCHoldTimeout.
If a volume-claiming alloc stops and the CSI Node plugin that serves
that alloc's volumes is missing, there's no way for the allocrunner
hook to send the `NodeUnpublish` and `NodeUnstage` RPCs.
This changeset addresses this issue with a redesign of the client-side
for CSI. Rather than unmounting in the alloc runner hook, the alloc
runner hook will simply exit. When the server gets the
`Node.UpdateAlloc` for the terminal allocation that had a volume claim,
it creates a volume claim GC job. This job will made client RPCs to a
new node plugin RPC endpoint, and only once that succeeds, move on to
making the client RPCs to the controller plugin. If the node plugin is
unavailable, the GC job will fail and be requeued.
This commit introduces a new set of endpoints to a Nomad Client:
ClientCSI.
ClientCSI is responsible for mediating requests from a Nomad Server to
a CSI Plugin running on a Nomad Client. It should only really be used to
make controller RPCs.
This PR introduces an ack allowing the receiving end of the streaming
RPC to return any error that may have occured during the establishment
of the streaming RPC.
