This adds the Terraform needed to create a gauntlet testing framework for a cluster that is a mirror of Samsung's. It is meant to be run once a day in CI via the GitLab scheduler.
This commit effectively removes the API-level validation that was
blocking certain API methods when the cluster was in a particular state
(namely DOWN and DEGRADED). The thinking is that we shouldn't be
blocking these requests at the API level, but rather should let them
pass through and allow the fact that a node is ACTUALLY down dictate the
behavior.
With this change, two tests were modified. They were previously
expecting the error message from the API validation on DOWN, but now
they check for a "shard unavailable" error, which is what gets returned
for a particular query when the cluster is in an unhealthy state.
A few things were going wrong here.
First, we take a "RetryPeriod" option on backup and restore which is
meant to be roughly the total amount of time we spend retrying any
given request before failing. However we were incorrectly passing that
as the RetryMaxWait which is the maximum amount of time to sleep
between any two attempts. We now do some fuzzy math to figure out
approximately how many attempts we should make given a minimum sleep
of 100ms and the fact that we double the sleep time every attempt.
Second, during the backup test, if a host was totally stopped when we
started the request, it would fail immediately and then retry, but if
the host was stopped during the request (after DNS had resolved), then
the request would wait for the DialTimeout which we default to 30s, so
turning off the cluster for 5 seconds and turning it back on resulted
in the backup completing rather than failing. Because of this, we
change the commandClient to have a default dial timeout of 1 second.
I was tempted to change the global default to 1s which I think would
be fine, but didn't want to break anything too badly.
