This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2339.
It improves our handling of "irrecoverable" errors in proxycfg data sources.
The canonical example of this is what happens when the ACL token presented by
Envoy is deleted/revoked. Previously, the stream would get "stuck" until the
xDS server re-checked the token (after 5 minutes) and terminated the stream.
Materializers would also sit burning resources retrying something that could
never succeed.
Now, it is possible for data sources to mark errors as "terminal" which causes
the xDS stream to be closed immediately. Similarly, the submatview.Store will
evict materializers when it observes they have encountered such an error.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2056.
This commit provides server-local implementations of the proxycfg.ConfigEntry
and proxycfg.ConfigEntryList interfaces, that source data from streaming events.
It makes use of the LocalMaterializer type introduced for peering replication,
adding the necessary support for authorization.
It also adds support for "wildcard" subscriptions (within a topic) to the event
publisher, as this is needed to fetch service-resolvers for all services when
configuring mesh gateways.
Currently, events will be emitted for just the ingress-gateway, service-resolver,
and mesh config entry types, as these are the only entries required by proxycfg
— the events will be emitted on topics named IngressGateway, ServiceResolver,
and MeshConfig topics respectively.
Though these events will only be consumed "locally" for now, they can also be
consumed via the gRPC endpoint (confirmed using grpcurl) so using them from
client agents should be a case of swapping the LocalMaterializer for an
RPCMaterializer.
