This PR implements a new "System Batch" scheduler type. Jobs can
make use of this new scheduler by setting their type to 'sysbatch'.
Like the name implies, sysbatch can be thought of as a hybrid between
system and batch jobs - it is for running short lived jobs intended to
run on every compatible node in the cluster.
As with batch jobs, sysbatch jobs can also be periodic and/or parameterized
dispatch jobs. A sysbatch job is considered complete when it has been run
on all compatible nodes until reaching a terminal state (success or failed
on retries).
Feasibility and preemption are governed the same as with system jobs. In
this PR, the update stanza is not yet supported. The update stanza is sill
limited in functionality for the underlying system scheduler, and is
not useful yet for sysbatch jobs. Further work in #4740 will improve
support for the update stanza and deployments.
Closes#2527
The `QuotaIterator` is used as the source of nodes passed into feasibility
checking for constraints. Every node that passes the quota check counts the
allocation resources agains the quota, and as a result we count nodes which
will be later filtered out by constraints. Therefore for jobs with
constraints, nodes that are feasibility checked but fail have been counted
against quotas. This failure mode is order dependent; if all the unfiltered
nodes happen to be quota checked first, everything works as expected.
This changeset moves the `QuotaIterator` to happen last among all feasibility
checkers (but before ranking). The `QuotaIterator` will never receive filtered
nodes so it will calculate quotas correctly.
Cluster operators want to have better control over memory
oversubscription and may want to enable/disable it based on their
experience.
This PR adds a scheduler configuration field to control memory
oversubscription. It's additional field that can be set in the [API via Scheduler Config](https://www.nomadproject.io/api-docs/operator/scheduler), or [the agent server config](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/configuration/server#configuring-scheduler-config).
I opted to have the memory oversubscription be an opt-in, but happy to change it. To enable it, operators should call the API with:
```json
{
"MemoryOversubscriptionEnabled": true
}
```
If memory oversubscription is disabled, submitting jobs specifying `memory_max` will get a "Memory oversubscription is not
enabled" warnings, but the jobs will be accepted without them accessing
the additional memory.
The warning message is like:
```
$ nomad job run /tmp/j
Job Warnings:
1 warning(s):
* Memory oversubscription is not enabled; Task cache.redis memory_max value will be ignored
==> Monitoring evaluation "7c444157"
Evaluation triggered by job "example"
==> Monitoring evaluation "7c444157"
Evaluation within deployment: "9d826f13"
Allocation "aa5c3cad" created: node "9272088e", group "cache"
Evaluation status changed: "pending" -> "complete"
==> Evaluation "7c444157" finished with status "complete"
# then you can examine the Alloc AllocatedResources to validate whether the task is allowed to exceed memory:
$ nomad alloc status -json aa5c3cad | jq '.AllocatedResources.Tasks["redis"].Memory'
{
"MemoryMB": 256,
"MemoryMaxMB": 0
}
```
Add a `PerAlloc` field to volume requests that directs the scheduler to test
feasibility for volumes with a source ID that includes the allocation index
suffix (ex. `[0]`), rather than the exact source ID.
Read the `PerAlloc` field when making the volume claim at the client to
determine if the allocation index suffix (ex. `[0]`) should be added to the
volume source ID.
This change fixes a bug where lost/failed allocations are replaced by
allocations with the latest versions, even if the version hasn't been
promoted yet.
Now, when generating a plan for lost/failed allocations, the scheduler
first checks if the current deployment is in Canary stage, and if so, it
ensures that any lost/failed allocations is replaced one with the latest
promoted version instead.
