Nomad communicates with CSI plugin tasks via gRPC. The plugin
supervisor hook uses this to ping the plugin for health checks which
it emits as task events. After the first successful health check the
plugin supervisor registers the plugin in the client's dynamic plugin
registry, which in turn creates a CSI plugin manager instance that has
its own gRPC client for fingerprinting the plugin and sending mount
requests.
If the plugin manager instance fails to connect to the plugin on its
first attempt, it exits. The plugin supervisor hook is unaware that
connection failed so long as its own pings continue to work. A
transient failure during plugin startup may mislead the plugin
supervisor hook into thinking the plugin is up (so there's no need to
restart the allocation) but no fingerprinter is started.
* Refactors the gRPC client to connect on first use. This provides the
plugin manager instance the ability to retry the gRPC client
connection until success.
* Add a 30s timeout to the plugin supervisor so that we don't poll
forever waiting for a plugin that will never come back up.
Minor improvements:
* The plugin supervisor hook creates a new gRPC client for every probe
and then throws it away. Instead, reuse the client as we do for the
plugin manager.
* The gRPC client constructor has a 1 second timeout. Clarify that this
timeout applies to the connection and not the rest of the client
lifetime.
* nomad/structs/structs: new NodeEventSubsystemCSI
* client/client: pass triggerNodeEvent in the CSIConfig
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/instance: add eventer to instanceManager
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/manager: pass triggerNodeEvent
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/volume: node event on [un]mount
* nomad/structs/structs: use storage, not CSI
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/volume: use storage, not CSI
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/volume_test: eventer
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/volume: event on error
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/volume_test: check event on error
* command/node_status: remove an extra space in event detail format
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/volume: use snake_case for details
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/volume_test: snake_case details
Run the plugin fingerprint one last time with a closed client during
instance manager shutdown. This will return quickly and will give us a
correctly-populated `PluginInfo` marked as unhealthy so the Nomad
client can update the server about plugin health.
Allow for faster updates to plugin status when allocations become
terminal by listening for register/deregister events from the dynamic
plugin registry (which in turn are triggered by the plugin supervisor
hook).
The deregistration function closures that we pass up to the CSI plugin
manager don't properly close over the name and type of the
registration, causing monolith-type plugins to deregister only one of
their two plugins on alloc shutdown. Rebind plugin supervisor
deregistration targets to fix that.
Includes log message and comment improvements
* structs: CSIInfo include AllocID, CSIPlugins no Jobs
* state_store: eliminate plugin Jobs, delete an empty plugin
* nomad/structs/csi: detect empty plugins correctly
* client/allocrunner/taskrunner/plugin_supervisor_hook: option AllocID
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/instance: allocID
* client/pluginmanager/csimanager/fingerprint: set AllocID
* client/node_updater: split controller and node plugins
* api/csi: remove Jobs
The CSI Plugin API will map plugins to allocations, which allows
plugins to be defined by jobs in many configurations. In particular,
multiple plugins can be defined in the same job, and multiple jobs can
be used to define a single plugin.
Because we now map the allocation context directly from the node, it's
no longer necessary to track the jobs associated with a plugin
directly.
* nomad/csi_endpoint_test: CreateTestPlugin & register via fingerprint
* client/dynamicplugins: lift AllocID into the struct from Options
* api/csi_test: remove Jobs test
* nomad/structs/csi: CSIPlugins has an array of allocs
* nomad/state/state_store: implement CSIPluginDenormalize
* nomad/state/state_store: CSIPluginDenormalize npe on missing alloc
* nomad/csi_endpoint_test: defer deleteNodes for clarity
* api/csi_test: disable this test awaiting mocks:

When providing paths to plugins, the path needs to be in the scope of
the plugins container, rather than that of the host.
Here we enable that by providing the mount point through the plugin
registration and then use it when constructing request target paths.
This changeset is some pre-requisite boilerplate that is required for
introducing CSI volume management for client nodes.
It extracts out fingerprinting logic from the csi instance manager.
This change is to facilitate reusing the csimanager to also manage the
node-local CSI functionality, as it is the easiest place for us to
guaruntee health checking and to provide additional visibility into the
running operations through the fingerprinter mechanism and goroutine.
It also introduces the VolumeMounter interface that will be used to
manage staging/publishing unstaging/unpublishing of volumes on the host.
This changeset implements the initial registration and fingerprinting
of CSI Plugins as part of #5378. At a high level, it introduces the
following:
* A `csi_plugin` stanza as part of a Nomad task configuration, to
allow a task to expose that it is a plugin.
* A new task runner hook: `csi_plugin_supervisor`. This hook does two
things. When the `csi_plugin` stanza is detected, it will
automatically configure the plugin task to receive bidirectional
mounts to the CSI intermediary directory. At runtime, it will then
perform an initial heartbeat of the plugin and handle submitting it to
the new `dynamicplugins.Registry` for further use by the client, and
then run a lightweight heartbeat loop that will emit task events
when health changes.
* The `dynamicplugins.Registry` for handling plugins that run
as Nomad tasks, in contrast to the existing catalog that requires
`go-plugin` type plugins and to know the plugin configuration in
advance.
* The `csimanager` which fingerprints CSI plugins, in a similar way to
`drivermanager` and `devicemanager`. It currently only fingerprints
the NodeID from the plugin, and assumes that all plugins are
monolithic.
Missing features
* We do not use the live updates of the `dynamicplugin` registry in
the `csimanager` yet.
* We do not deregister the plugins from the client when they shutdown
yet, they just become indefinitely marked as unhealthy. This is
deliberate until we figure out how we should manage deploying new
versions of plugins/transitioning them.
