R.B. Boyer	6adad71125	wan federation via mesh gateways (#6884) ... This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch: There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected: * new flags and config options for the server * retry join WAN is slightly different * retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters * because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right layer. * new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers * the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the node name of the destination) * several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object: `FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}` * 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl * raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates * replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the Primary and replicated to the Secondaries. * a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all other DCs) * a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also directly calls into the FSM. * RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the type-byte marker). * 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation overhead. * the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port. * a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service meta when registering the gateway into the catalog. * `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul servers in that datacenter. * `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node (`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`) * the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.	5 years ago
R.B. Boyer	8c596953b0	agent: ensure that we always use the same settings for msgpack (#7245) ... We set RawToString=true so that []uint8 => string when decoding an interface{}. We set the MapType so that map[interface{}]interface{} decodes to map[string]interface{}. Add tests to ensure that this doesn't break existing usages. Fixes #7223	5 years ago

James Phillips	bb12368eac	Makes RPC handling more robust when rolling servers. (#3561) ... * Adds client-side retry for no leader errors. This paves over the case where the client was connected to the leader when it loses leadership. * Adds a configurable server RPC drain time and a fail-fast path for RPCs. When a server leaves it gets removed from the Raft configuration, so it will never know who the new leader server ends up being. Without this we'd be doomed to wait out the RPC hold timeout and then fail. This makes things fail a little quicker while a sever is draining, and since we added a client retry AND since the server doing this has already shut down and left the Serf LAN, clients should retry against some other server. * Makes the RPC hold timeout configurable. * Reorders struct members. * Sets the RPC hold timeout default for test servers. * Bumps the leave drain time up to 5 seconds. * Robustifies retries with a simpler client-side RPC hold. * Reverts untended delete.	7 years ago
James Phillips	45646ac3f4	Bumps default Raft protocol to version 3. (#3477) ... * Changes default Raft protocol to 3. * Changes numPeers() to report only voters. This should have been there before, but it's more obvious that this is incorrect now that we default the Raft protocol to 3, which puts new servers in a read-only state while Autopilot waits for them to become healthy. * Fixes TestLeader_RollRaftServer. * Fixes TestOperator_RaftRemovePeerByAddress. * Fixes TestServer_*. Relaxed the check for a given number of voter peers and instead do a thorough check that all servers see each other in their Raft configurations. * Fixes TestACL_*. These now just check for Raft replication to be set up, and don't care about the number of voter peers. * Fixes TestOperator_Raft_ListPeers. * Fixes TestAutopilot_CleanupDeadServerPeriodic. * Fixes TestCatalog_ListNodes_ConsistentRead_Fail. * Fixes TestLeader_ChangeServerID and adjusts the conn pool to throw away sockets when it sees io.EOF. * Changes version to 1.0.0 in the options doc. * Makes metrics test more deterministic with autopilot metrics possible.	7 years ago
