Operators commonly have docker logs aggregated using various tools and
don't need nomad to manage their docker logs. Worse, Nomad uses a
somewhat heavy docker api call to collect them and it seems to cause
problems when a client runs hundreds of log collections.
Here we add a knob to disable log aggregation completely for nomad.
When log collection is disabled, we avoid running logmon and
docker_logger for the docker tasks in this implementation.
The downside here is once disabled, `nomad logs ...` commands and API
no longer return logs and operators must corrolate alloc-ids with their
aggregated log info.
This is meant as a stop gap measure. Ideally, we'd follow up with at
least two changes:
First, we should optimize behavior when we can such that operators don't
need to disable docker log collection. Potentially by reverting to
using pre-0.9 syslog aggregation in linux environments, though with
different trade-offs.
Second, when/if logs are disabled, nomad logs endpoints should lookup
docker logs api on demand. This ensures that the cost of log collection
is paid sparingly.
Previously, we did not attempt to stop Docker Logger processes until
DestroyTask, which means that under many circumstances, we will never
successfully close the plugin client.
This commit terminates the plugin process when `run` terminates, or when
`DestroyTask` is called.
Steps to repro:
```
$ nomad agent -dev
$ nomad init
$ nomad run example.nomad
$ nomad stop example
$ ps aux | grep nomad # See docker logger process running
$ signal the dev agent
$ ps aux | grep nomad # See docker logger process running
```
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
Re-export the ResourceUsage structs in drivers package to avoid drivers
directly depending on the internal client/structs package directly.
I attempted moving the structs to drivers, but that caused some import
cycles that was a bit hard to disentagle. Alternatively, I added an
alias here that's sufficient for our purposes of avoiding external
drivers depend on internal packages, while allowing us to restructure
packages in future without breaking source compatibility.
