This commit
- adds a configuration in which no step holds, replication cursors, etc. are created
- removes the send.step_holds.disable_incremental setting
- creates a new config option `replication` for active-side jobs
- adds the replication.protection.{initial,incremental} settings, each
of which can have values
- `guarantee_resumability`
- `guarantee_incremental`
- `guarantee_nothing`
(refer to docs/configuration/replication.rst for semantics)
The `replication` config from an active side is sent to both endpoint.Sender and endpoint.Receiver
for each replication step. Sender and Receiver then act accordingly.
For `guarantee_incremental`, we add the new `tentative-replication-cursor` abstraction.
The necessity for that abstraction is outlined in https://github.com/zrepl/zrepl/issues/340.
fixes https://github.com/zrepl/zrepl/issues/340
This is a stop-gap solution until we re-write the pruner to support
rules for removing step holds.
Note that disabling step holds for incremental sends does not affect
zrepl's guarantee that incremental replication is always possible:
Suppose you yank the external drive during an incremental @from -> @to step:
* restarting that step or future incrementals @from -> @to_later` will be possible
because the replication cursor bookmark points to @from until the step is complete
* resuming @from -> @to will work as long as the pruner on your internal pool doesn't come around to destroy @to.
* in that case, the replication algorithm should determine that the resumable state
on the receiving side isuseless because @to no longer exists on the sending side,
and consequently clear it, and restart an incremental step @from -> @to_later

package trace:
- introduce the concept of tasks and spans, tracked as linked list within ctx
- see package-level docs for an overview of the concepts
- **main feature 1**: unique stack of task and span IDs
- makes it easy to follow a series of log entries in concurrent code
- **main feature 2**: ability to produce a chrome://tracing-compatible trace file
- either via an env variable or a `zrepl pprof` subcommand
- this is not a CPU profile, we already have go pprof for that
- but it is very useful to visually inspect where the
replication / snapshotter / pruner spends its time
( fixes#307 )
usage in package daemon/logging:
- goal: every log entry should have a trace field with the ID stack from package trace
- make `logging.GetLogger(ctx, Subsys)` the authoritative `logger.Logger` factory function
- the context carries a linked list of injected fields which
`logging.GetLogger` adds to the logger it returns
- `logging.GetLogger` also uses package `trace` to get the
task-and-span-stack and injects it into the returned logger's fields
- **Resumable Send & Recv Support**
No knobs required, automatically used where supported.
- **Hold-Protected Send & Recv**
Automatic ZFS holds to ensure that we can always resume a replication step.
- **Encrypted Send & Recv Support** for OpenZFS native encryption.
Configurable at the job level, i.e., for all filesystems a job is responsible for.
- **Receive-side hold on last received dataset**
The counterpart to the replication cursor bookmark on the send-side.
Ensures that incremental replication will always be possible between a sender and receiver.
Design Doc
----------
`replication/design.md` doc describes how we use ZFS holds and bookmarks to ensure that a single replication step is always resumable.
The replication algorithm described in the design doc introduces the notion of job IDs (please read the details on this design doc).
We reuse the job names for job IDs and use `JobID` type to ensure that a job name can be embedded into hold tags, bookmark names, etc.
This might BREAK CONFIG on upgrade.
Protocol Version Bump
---------------------
This commit makes backwards-incompatible changes to the replication/pdu protobufs.
Thus, bump the version number used in the protocol handshake.
Replication Cursor Format Change
--------------------------------
The new replication cursor bookmark format is: `#zrepl_CURSOR_G_${this.GUID}_J_${jobid}`
Including the GUID enables transaction-safe moving-forward of the cursor.
Including the job id enables that multiple sending jobs can send the same filesystem without interfering.
The `zrepl migrate replication-cursor:v1-v2` subcommand can be used to safely destroy old-format cursors once zrepl has created new-format cursors.
Changes in This Commit
----------------------
- package zfs
- infrastructure for holds
- infrastructure for resume token decoding
- implement a variant of OpenZFS's `entity_namecheck` and use it for validation in new code
- ZFSSendArgs to specify a ZFS send operation
- validation code protects against malicious resume tokens by checking that the token encodes the same send parameters that the send-side would use if no resume token were available (i.e. same filesystem, `fromguid`, `toguid`)
- RecvOptions support for `recv -s` flag
- convert a bunch of ZFS operations to be idempotent
- achieved through more differentiated error message scraping / additional pre-/post-checks
- package replication/pdu
- add field for encryption to send request messages
- add fields for resume handling to send & recv request messages
- receive requests now contain `FilesystemVersion To` in addition to the filesystem into which the stream should be `recv`d into
- can use `zfs recv $root_fs/$client_id/path/to/dataset@${To.Name}`, which enables additional validation after recv (i.e. whether `To.Guid` matched what we received in the stream)
- used to set `last-received-hold`
- package replication/logic
- introduce `PlannerPolicy` struct, currently only used to configure whether encrypted sends should be requested from the sender
- integrate encryption and resume token support into `Step` struct
- package endpoint
- move the concepts that endpoint builds on top of ZFS to a single file `endpoint/endpoint_zfs.go`
- step-holds + step-bookmarks
- last-received-hold
- new replication cursor + old replication cursor compat code
- adjust `endpoint/endpoint.go` handlers for
- encryption
- resumability
- new replication cursor
- last-received-hold
- client subcommand `zrepl holds list`: list all holds and hold-like bookmarks that zrepl thinks belong to it
- client subcommand `zrepl migrate replication-cursor:v1-v2`
1. Change config format to support multiple types
of snapshotting modes.
2. Implement a hacky way to support periodic or completely
manual snaphots.
In manual mode, the user has to trigger replication using the wakeup
mechanism after they took snapshots using their own tooling.
As indicated by the comment, a more general solution would be desirable,
but we want to get the release out and 'manual' mode is a feature that
some people requested...
