MariaDB+Galera was terribly unstable, with the cluster failing to
start or dying randomly, and generally seemed incredibly unsuitable
for an HA solution. This commit switches the DNS aggregator SQL
backend to PostgreSQL, implemented via Patroni HA.
It also manages the Patroni state, forcing the primary instance to
follow the PVC coordinator, such that the active DNS Aggregator
instance is always able to communicate read+write with the local
system.
This required some logic changes to how the DNS Aggregator worked,
specifically ensuring that database changes aren't attempted while
the instance isn't actively running - to be honest this was a bug
anyways that had just never been noticed.
Closes#34
Makes an unflush a controlled event like flushing, rather than a
free-for-all. This does slow down unflushing somewhat (disallowing
parallelism from multiple hosts to the current host), but allows
the locking to actually be effective.
Implements a locking mechanism to prevent clobbering of node
flushes. When a flush begins, a global cluster lock is placed
which is freed once the flush completes. While the lock is in place,
other flush events queue waiting for the lock to free before
proceeding.
Modifies the CLI output flow when the `--wait` option is specified.
First, if a lock exists when running the command, the message is
tweaked to indicate this, and the client will wait first for the
lock to free, and then for the flush as normal. Second, the wait
depends on the active lock rather than the domain_status for
consistency purposes.
Closes#32
Implements the ability for a client to watch almost-live domain
console logs from the hypervisors. It does this using a deque-based
"tail -f" mechanism (with a configurable buffer per-VM) that watches
the domain console logfile in the (configurable) directory every
half-second. It then stores the current buffer in Zookeeper when
changed, where a client can then request it, either as a static piece
of text in the `less` pager, or via a similar "tail -f" functionality
implemented using fixed line splitting and comparison to provide a
generally-seamless output.
Enabling this feature requires each guest VM to implement a Libvirt
serial log and write its (text) console to it, for example using the
default logging directory:
```
<serial type='pty'>
<log file='/var/log/libvirt/vmname.log' append='off'/>
<serial>
```
The append mode can be either on or off; on grows files unbounded,
off causes the log (and hence the PVC log data) to be truncated on
initial VM startup from offline. The administrator must choose how
they best want to handle this until Libvirt implements their own
clog-type logging format.
