*) Stopped using latency previous/current stats, this
was not working as expected. Fresh starts usually have
these stats zero for a long time, and initial samples
are high due to downloads, caches, etc.
*) New state to track: containers that are idle. In other
words, containers that have an unused token in the slot
queue.
*) Removed latency counts since these are not used in
container start decision anymore. Simplifies logs.
*) isNewContainerNeeded() simplified to use idle count
to estimate effective waiters. Removed speculative
latency based logic and progress check comparison.
In agent, waitHot() delayed signalling compansates
for these changes. If the estimation may fail, but
this should correct itself in the next 200 msec
signal.
* fn: resource and slot cancel and broadcast improvements
*) Context argument does not wake up the waiters correctly upon
cancellation/timeout.
*) Avoid unnecessary broadcasts in slot and resource.
* fn: limit scope of context in resource/slot calls in agent
since we were sending a signal before checking if a slot was available, even
in the case of serial calls locally I was seeing 2 containers launch. if we
only send a signal after first checking if a slot is available, this goes
away. 1 usec should not be too offensive of an additional wait, all things
considered here.
* fn: cancellations in WaitAsyncResource
Added go context with cancel to wait async resource. Although
today, the only case for cancellation is shutdown, this cleans
up agent shutdown a little bit.
* fn: locked broadcast to avoid missed wake-ups
* fn: removed ctx arg to WaitAsyncResource and startDequeuer
This is confusing and unnecessary.
this was getting bloated with various contexts and spans and stats
administrivia that obfuscated what was going on a lot. this makes some helper
methods to shove most of that stuff into, and simplifies the context handling
around getting a slot by moving it inside of slot acquisition code. also
removed most uses of `call.Model()` -- I'll kill this thing some day, but if a
reason is needed, then the overhead of dynamic dispatch is unnecessary, we're
inside of the implementee for the agent, we don't want to use the interface
methods inside of that.
*) revert executor wait queue size comparison. This is too
aggresive and with stall check below, now unnecessary.
*) new container logic now checks if stats are constant, if
this is the case, then we assume the system is stalled (eg
running functions that take long time), this means we need
to make progress and spin up a new container.
* Change basic stats to use opentracing rather than Prometheus API directly
* Just ran gofmt
* Extract opentracing access for metrics to common/metrics.go
* Replace quotes strings with constants where possible
Latency stats are not always read-time updated and
if calls are stuck in waiting state, isNewContainerNeeded()
needs to be a bit more aggresive if the wait queue grows.
* Logs should support specifying region when using S3-compatible object store
* Use aws-sdk-go client for s3 backed logstore
* fixes vendor with aws-sdk-go dependencies
* add FN_LOG_DEST for logs, fixup init
* FN_LOG_DEST can point to a remote logging place (papertrail, whatever)
* FN_LOG_PREFIX can add a prefix onto each log line sent to FN_LOG_DEST
default remains stderr with no prefix. users need this to send to various
logging backends, though it could be done operationally, this is somewhat
simpler.
we were doing some configuration stuff inside of init() for some of the global
things. even though they're global, it's nice to keep them all in the normal
server init path.
we have had strange issues with the tracing setup, I tested the last repro of
this repeatedly and didn't have any luck reproducing it, though maybe it comes
back.
* add docs
possible breakages:
* `FN_HEADER` on cold are no longer `s/-/_/` -- this is so that cold functions
can rebuild the headers as they were when they came in on the request (fdks,
specifically), there's no guarantee that a reversal `s/_/-/` is the original
header on the request.
* app and route config no longer `s/-/_/` -- it seemed really weird to rewrite
the users config vars on these. should just pass them exactly as is to env.
* headers no longer contain the environment vars (previously, base config; app
config, route config, `FN_PATH`, etc.), these are still available in the
environment.
this gets rid of a lot of the code around headers, specifically the stuff that
shoved everything into headers when constructing a call to begin with. now we
just store the headers separately and add a few things, like FN_CALL_ID to
them, and build a separate 'config' now to store on the call. I thought
'config' was more aptly named, 'env' was confusing, though now 'config' is
exactly what 'base_vars' was, which is only the things being put into the env.
we weren't storing this field in the db, this doesn't break unless there are
messages in a queue from another version, anyway, don't think we're there and
don't expect any breakage for anybody with field name changes.
this makes the configuration stuff pretty straight forward, there's just two
separate buckets of things, and cold just needs to mash them together into the
env, and otherwise hot containers just need to put 'config' in the env, and then
hot format can shove 'headers' in however they'd like. this seems better than
my last idea about making this easier but worse (RIP).
this means:
* headers no longer contain all vars, the set of base vars can only be found
in the environment.
* headers is only the headers from request + call_id, deadline, method, url
* for cold, we simply add the headers to the environment, prepending
`FN_HEADER_` to them, BUT NOT upper casing or `s/-/_/`
* fixes issue where async hot functions would end up with `Fn_header_`
prefixed headers
* removes idea of 'base' vars and 'env'. this was a strange concept. now we just have
'config' which was base vars, and headers, which was base_env+headers; i.e.
they are disjoint now.
* casing for all headers will lean to be `My-Header` style, which should help
with consistency. notable exceptions for cold only are FN_CALL_ID, FN_METHOD,
and FN_REQUEST_URL -- this is simply to avoid breakage, in either hot format
they appear as `Fn_call_id` still.
* removes FN_PARAM stuff
* updated doc with behavior
weird things left:
`Fn_call_id` e.g. isn't a correctly formatted http header, it should likely be
`Fn-Call-Id` but I wanted to live to fight another day on this one, it would
add some breakage.
