This service caused more headaches than it was worth, so remove it.
The original goal was to cleanly flush nodes on shutdown and unflush
them on startup, but this is tightly controlled by Ansible playbooks at
this point, and this is something best left to the Administrator and
their particular situation anyways.
This reverts commit 65d14ccd92.
This was actually a bad idea. For inexplicable reasons, running these
Ceph commands manually (not even via Python, but in a normal shell)
takes 7 * two orders of magnitude longer than running them with the
Rados module, so long in fact that some basic commands like "ceph
health" would sometimes take longer than the 1 second timeout to
complete. The Rados commands would however take about 1ms instead.
Despite the occasional issues when monitors drop out, the Rados module
is clearly far superior to the shell commands for any moderately-loaded
Ceph cluster. We can look into solving timeouts another way (perhaps
with Processes instead of Threads) at a later time.
Rados module "ceph health":
b'{"checks":{},"status":"HEALTH_OK"}'
0.001204 (s)
b'{"checks":{},"status":"HEALTH_OK"}'
0.001258 (s)
Command "ceph health":
joshua@hv1.c.bonilan.net ~ $ time ceph health >/dev/null
real 0m0.772s
user 0m0.707s
sys 0m0.046s
joshua@hv1.c.bonilan.net ~ $ time ceph health >/dev/null
real 0m0.796s
user 0m0.728s
sys 0m0.054s
Using the Rados module was very problematic, specifically because it had
no sensible timeout parameters and thus would hang for many seconds.
This has poor implications since it blocks further keepalives.
Instead, remove the Rados usage entirely and go back completely to using
manual OS commands to gather this information. While this may cause PID
exhaustion more quickly it's worthwhile to avoid failure scenarios when
Ceph stats time out.
Closes#137
Also fixes up the Debian packaging such that this works how I would
want, with proper module installation while leaving everything else
untouched. Finally implements automatic installation and removal of the
BASH completion for the PVC command.
