If alloc exec fails to connect to the nomad client associated with the
alloc, fail over to using a server.
The code attempted to special case `net.Error` for failover to rule out
other permanent non-networking errors, by reusing a pattern in the
logging handling.
But this pattern does not apply here. `net/http.Http` wraps all errors
as `*url.Error` that is net.Error. The websocket doesn't, and instead
returns the raw error. If the raw error isn't a `net.Error`, like in
the case of TLS handshake errors, the api package would fail immediately
rather than failover.
When canonicalizing the ReschedulePolicy a panic was possible if
the passed job type was not valid. This change protects against
this possibility, in a verbose way to ensure the code path is
clear.
The API decodeBody function will now check the content length
before attempting to decode. If the length is zero, and the out
interface is nil then it is safe to assume the API call is not
returning any data to the user. This allows us to better handle
passing nil to API calls in a single place.
Consul provides a feature of Service Definitions where the tags
associated with a service can be modified through the Catalog API,
overriding the value(s) configured in the agent's service configuration.
To enable this feature, the flag enable_tag_override must be configured
in the service definition.
Previously, Nomad did not allow configuring this flag, and thus the default
value of false was used. Now, it is configurable.
Because Nomad itself acts as a state machine around the the service definitions
of the tasks it manages, it's worth describing what happens when this feature
is enabled and why.
Consider the basic case where there is no Nomad, and your service is provided
to consul as a boring JSON file. The ultimate source of truth for the definition
of that service is the file, and is stored in the agent. Later, Consul performs
"anti-entropy" which synchronizes the Catalog (stored only the leaders). Then
with enable_tag_override=true, the tags field is available for "external"
modification through the Catalog API (rather than directly configuring the
service definition file, or using the Agent API). The important observation
is that if the service definition ever changes (i.e. the file is changed &
config reloaded OR the Agent API is used to modify the service), those
"external" tag values are thrown away, and the new service definition is
once again the source of truth.
In the Nomad case, Nomad itself is the source of truth over the Agent in
the same way the JSON file was the source of truth in the example above.
That means any time Nomad sets a new service definition, any externally
configured tags are going to be replaced. When does this happen? Only on
major lifecycle events, for example when a task is modified because of an
updated job spec from the 'nomad job run <existing>' command. Otherwise,
Nomad's periodic re-sync's with Consul will now no longer try to restore
the externally modified tag values (as long as enable_tag_override=true).
Fixes#2057
This change provides an initial pass at setting up the configuration necessary to
enable use of Connect with Consul ACLs. Operators will be able to pass in a Consul
Token through `-consul-token` or `$CONSUL_TOKEN` in the `job run` and `job revert`
commands (similar to Vault tokens).
These values are not actually used yet in this changeset.

The existing version constraint uses logic optimized for package
managers, not schedulers, when checking prereleases:
- 1.3.0-beta1 will *not* satisfy ">= 0.6.1"
- 1.7.0-rc1 will *not* satisfy ">= 1.6.0-beta1"
This is due to package managers wishing to favor final releases over
prereleases.
In a scheduler versions more often represent the earliest release all
required features/APIs are available in a system. Whether the constraint
or the version being evaluated are prereleases has no impact on
ordering.
This commit adds a new constraint - `semver` - which will use Semver
v2.0 ordering when evaluating constraints. Given the above examples:
- 1.3.0-beta1 satisfies ">= 0.6.1" using `semver`
- 1.7.0-rc1 satisfies ">= 1.6.0-beta1" using `semver`
Since existing jobspecs may rely on the old behavior, a new constraint
was added and the implicit Consul Connect and Vault constraints were
updated to use it.
If a websocket connection errors we currently return the error with a
copy of the response body. The response body from the websocket can
often times be completely illegible so remove it from the error string.

Jobs can be created with user-provided IDs containing any character
except spaces. The jobId needs to be escaped when used in a request
path, otherwise jobs created with names such as "why?" can't be managed
after they are created.
