The `stats_hook` writes an Error log every time an allocation becomes
terminal. This is a normal condition, not an error. A real error
condition like a failure to collect the stats is logged later. It just
creates log noise, and this is a particularly bad operator experience
for heavy batch workloads.
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.
plugins/driver: update driver interface to support streaming stats
client/tr: use streaming stats api
TODO:
* how to handle errors and closed channel during stats streaming
* prevent tight loop if Stats(ctx) returns an error
drivers: update drivers TaskStats RPC to handle streaming results
executor: better error handling in stats rpc
docker: better control and error handling of stats rpc
driver: allow stats to return a recoverable error
