The mgmt graph depends on state tracking to eliminate redundant pokes.
With the Watch loop now able to produce events quickly, it should no
longer play a part in determining the vertex state. This simplifies the
resource API as well!
This patch makes a number of changes in the engine surrounding the
resource API. In particular:
* Cleanup of send/read event.
* Cleanup of DoSend (now Event) in the Watch method.
* Events are now more consistently pointers.
* Exiting within Watch is now done in a single place.
* Multiple incoming events will be combined into a single action.
* Events in flight during an action are played back after CheckApply.
* Addition of Close method to API
This gets things ready for rate limiting and semaphore metaparams!
This removes some boilerplate from the Watch methods which can be baked
into the engine instead.
This code should be checked for races and locks to make sure we only
start resources when it makes sense to.
This takes the Converged initialization and Startup patterns that are
common in all resources, and bakes it into the core engine. This way
resource writing is much more concise and there is less boilerplate!
This polishes the password resource so that it can actually avoid
writing the password to disk, and so that the work actually happens in
CheckApply where it can properly interact with the graph. This resource
now re-generates the password when it receives a notification.
The send/recv plumbing has been extended so that receivers can detect
when they're receiving new values. This is particularly important if
they might otherwise not expect those values to change and cache them
for efficiency purposes.
Felix pointed out that these ID's are unique, but not universally unique
across the cluster, which might be confusing to new programmers. As a
result, rename them all.
This splits the recursive watching bit of the file file resource into
it's own package. This also de-duplicates the configwatch code and puts
it into the same package. With these bits refactored, it was also easier
to clean up the error code in main.
This was a major deadlock that hit the file resource. I didn't notice it
earlier because I was using an older version of fsnotify and I hadn't
done a go get -u to refresh it. I finally tracked this down, and will
vendor the repository until a fix upstream or a workaround downstream is
added.
The upstream issue is: https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/123
This makes this logically more separate! :) As an aside...
I really hate the way golang does dependencies and packages. Yes, some
people insist on nesting their code deep into a $GOPATH, which is fine
if you're a google dev and are forced to work this way, but annoying for
the rest of the world. Your code shouldn't need a git commit to switch
to a a different vcs host! Gah I hate this so much.
