This PR
- upgrades the serf library
- has the test start the join process using the un-joined server first
- disables schedulers on the servers
- uses the WaitForLeader and wantPeers helpers
Not sure which, if any of these actually improves the flakiness of this test.

In PR #12108 we added missing fields to the plugin response, but we
didn't include the manual serialization steps that we need until
issue #10470 is resolved.
The behaviors of CSI plugins are governed by their capabilities as
defined by the CSI specification. When debugging plugin issues, it's
useful to know which behaviors are expected so they can be matched
against RPC calls made to the plugin allocations.
Expose the plugin capabilities as named in the CSI spec in the `nomad
plugin status -verbose` output.
When the alloc runner claims a volume, an allocation for a previous
version of the job may still have the volume claimed because it's
still shutting down. In this case we'll receive an error from the
server. Retry this error until we succeed or until a very long timeout
expires, to give operators a chance to recover broken plugins.
Make the alloc runner hook tolerant of temporary RPC failures.
* Remove redundant schedulable check in `FreeWriteClaims`. If a volume
has been created but not yet claimed, its capabilities will be checked
in `WriteSchedulable` at both scheduling time and claim time. We don't
need to also check them in the `FreeWriteClaims` method.
* Enforce maximum volume claims for writers.
When the scheduler checks feasibility for CSI volumes, the check is
fairly loose: earlier versions of the same job are not counted as
active claims. This allows the scheduler to place new allocations
for the new version of a job, under the assumption that we'll replace
the existing allocations and their volume claims.
But when the alloc runner claims the volume, we need to enforce the
active claims even if they're for allocations of an earlier version of
the job. Otherwise we'll try to mount a volume that's currently being
unmounted, and this will cause replacement allocations to frequently
fail.
* Enforce single-node reader check for read-only volumes. When the
alloc runner makes a claim for a read-only volume, we only check that
the volume is potentially schedulable and not that it actually has
free read claims.
If a plugin job fails before successfully fingerprinting the plugins,
the plugin will not exist when we try to delete the job. Tolerate
missing plugins.
The dynamic plugin registry assumes that plugins are singletons, which
matches the behavior of other Nomad plugins. But because dynamic
plugins like CSI are implemented by allocations, we need to handle the
possibility of multiple allocations for a given plugin type + ID, as
well as behaviors around interleaved allocation starts and stops.
Update the data structure for the dynamic registry so that more recent
allocations take over as the instance manager singleton, but we still
preserve the previous running allocations so that restores work
without racing.
Multiple allocations can run on a client for the same plugin, even if
only during updates. Provide each plugin task a unique path for the
control socket so that the tasks don't interfere with each other.
Detection of the full set of plugin capabilities was added in Nomad
1.1 for the volume creation workflow, but these were not added to the
API response for plugins.
The volumewatcher test incorrectly represents the change in attachment
and access modes introduced in Nomad 1.1.0 to support volume
creation. This leads to a test that happens to pass but only
accidentally.
Update the test to correctly represent the volume modes set by the
existing claims on the test volumes.
In PR #11892 we updated the `csi_hook` to unmount the volume locally
via the CSI node RPCs before releasing the claim from the server. The
timer for this hook was initialized with the retry time, forcing us to
wait 1s before making the first unmount RPC calls.
Use the new helper for timers to ensure we clean up the timer nicely.
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.
This PR modifies the Consul CLI arguments used to bootstrap envoy for
Connect sidecars to make use of '-proxy-id' instead of '-sidecar-for'.
Nomad registers the sidecar service, so we know what ID it has. The
'-sidecar-for' was intended for use when you only know the name of the
service for which the sidecar is being created.
The improvement here is that using '-proxy-id' does not require an underlying
request for listing Consul services. This will make make the interaction
between Nomad and Consul more efficient.
Closes#10452
When Consul Connect just works, it's wonderful. When it doesn't work it
can be exceeding difficult to debug: operators have to check task
events, Nomad logs, Consul logs, Consul APIs, and even then critical
information is missing.
Using Consul to generate a bootstrap config for Envoy is notoriously
difficult. Nomad doesn't even log stderr, so operators are left trying
to piece together what went wrong.
This patch attempts to provide *maximal* context which unfortunately
includes secrets. **Secrets are always restricted to the secrets/
directory.** This makes debugging a little harder, but allows operators
to know exactly what operation Nomad was trying to perform.
What's added:
- stderr is sent to alloc/logs/envoy_bootstrap.stderr.0
- the CLI is written to secrets/.envoy_bootstrap.cmd
- the environment is written to secrets/.envoy_bootstrap.env as JSON
Accessing this information is unfortunately awkward:
```
nomad alloc exec -task connect-proxy-count-countdash b36a cat secrets/.envoy_bootstrap.env
nomad alloc exec -task connect-proxy-count-countdash b36a cat secrets/.envoy_bootstrap.cmd
nomad alloc fs b36a alloc/logs/envoy_bootstrap.stderr.0
```
The above assumes an alloc id that starts with `b36a` and a Connect
sidecar proxy for a service named `count-countdash`.
If the alloc is unable to start successfully, the debugging files are
only accessible from the host filesystem.
