fix(opensearch-operator): stop excluding a node whose drain cannot finish - #4323
Merged

Conversation
…nish The yellow restart gate carried in the previous patch lets a permanently yellow cluster through, and with three or more nodes packages/apps/opensearch turns drainDataNodes on. The restart then reaches PreparePodForDelete, which excludes the candidate from allocation before it can know whether the drain will finish. On the cluster that made the gate wait it never finishes: a shard on that node has nowhere else to go, which is the same condition holding the cluster yellow. The exclusion is withdrawn only after a pod is really deleted, so a data node stays out of allocation for as long as the restart is stuck, shedding its shards onto the rest of the cluster and buying nothing. Ask the allocator before excluding anything, and only while nothing is moving, so a drain that is making progress costs nothing. A started shard answering can_move_to_other_node: no means the drain cannot finish, and then no exclusion is written and one left by an earlier pass is withdrawn. The two-data-node path keeps its behaviour, because it never waits for a full drain. Checking after the fact instead would flap: the next reconcile, ten seconds later, would exclude the node again. Upstream as opensearch-project/opensearch-k8s-operator#1585, fixed there by #1586; the patch goes away with the first release carrying it.

… build
The patches under images/opensearch-operator/patches carry their own tests and
nothing runs them. The build compiles main.go, and go-unit-tests in the root
Makefile covers this repository's own Go tree, so a test file that had stopped
compiling still produced an image:
printf 'func Broken() { this is not go }' >> restart_gate_test.go
go build -a -o manager main.go # exit 0
Run go test over the two package trees the patches touch before building the
binary. Both run without a cluster, and the stage takes about eight minutes on
an arm64 builder, most of it the module download the build needs anyway.

Identify the shard copy with current_node.
For a replica shard, index, shard, and primary: false do not identify the replica on nodeName. If several replicas exist, OpenSearch can explain a different copy and produce the wrong drain decision. Add current_node to the request and pass nodeName from drainCanProceed. The OpenSearch API documents current_node for this exact selection. (docs.opensearch.org)

Do not treat an omitted can_move_to_other_node as permission to drain.
Before the first exclusion, the shard can remain on its current node. The allocation API can therefore return rebalance fields instead of can_move_to_other_node. The empty decoded value bypasses this condition, so PreparePodForDelete still adds the unusable exclusion. The mock hides this case because explainBody always returns can_remain_on_current_node: no. Use allocation information that is valid before exclusion, and add a fixture for the normal pre-exclusion response. (fossies.org)

…llow cluster restart (#5074) ## What this PR does Backport of #4317, #4323 and #4341 to release-1.6. - Ordered series, picked in merge order, the chainsaw e2e test commit is dropped because release-1.6 has no OpenSearch e2e. - Conflicts only in the Dockerfile header comments, the image directory ends up byte-identical to main. - On release-1.6 the opensearch chart still turns `drainDataNodes` on for every release (main limits it to clusters with more than two data nodes, a change that came with #2682 and is not on this line), so a single-node cluster still cannot finish a rolling restart here. The release note below is adjusted for that. ### Screenshots Not a UI change. ### Downstream repositories - [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: ### Release note ```release-note fix(opensearch-operator): a multi-node cluster that stays yellow because of an auto-created index no longer blocks its rolling restart, the operator stops excluding a node whose drain cannot finish, and every call to the cluster's HTTP API now has a timeout. On release-1.6 a single-node cluster still cannot finish a rolling restart, that part needs a chart change that ships with the next minor. ```

What this PR does
The previous patch let a permanently yellow cluster past the restart health gate. With three or more nodes
packages/apps/opensearchrendersdrainDataNodes: true, and the restart then reachesPreparePodForDelete, which excludes the candidate node from allocation before it can know whether the drain will finish.On the cluster that made the gate wait it never finishes: a shard on that node has nowhere else to go, which is the same condition holding the cluster yellow. The exclusion is only withdrawn after a pod is really deleted (
rollingRestart.go,upgrade.go), so a data node stays out of allocation for as long as the restart is stuck, shedding its shards onto the rest of the cluster and buying nothing. Before the yellow gate this path was unreachable with draining on, so nothing was written at all.patches/skip-unusable-drain-exclusion.diffasks the allocator before excluding anything, and only while nothing is moving, so a drain making progress costs nothing extra. A started shard answeringcan_move_to_other_node: nomeans the drain cannot finish: no exclusion is written, and one left by an earlier pass is withdrawn. A drain that can still progress behaves exactly as before, and the two-data-node path is untouched because it never waits for a full drain.Checking after the exclusion instead would flap: the next reconcile ten seconds later would apply it again.
The v2.8.0 base has no allocation-explain call of its own, so the patch adds the client method and a response type carrying only the field the decision reads.
The second commit makes the shipped tests real. The image build ran
go buildalone, so a test file that stopped compiling, or stopped asserting, still produced an image.go testover the two package trees the patches touch now runs in the builder stage; both run without a cluster.Upstream as opensearch-project/opensearch-k8s-operator#1585, fixed there by opensearch-project/opensearch-k8s-operator#1586. Both patches go away with the first operator release carrying that change.
