* fn: runner status and docker load images
Introducing a function run for pure runner Status
calls. Previously, Status gRPC calls returned active
inflight request counts with the purpose of a simple
health checker. However this is not sufficient since
it does not show if agent or docker is healthy. With
this change, if pure runner is configured with a status
image, that image is executed through docker. The
call uses zero memory/cpu/tmpsize settings to ensure
resource tracker does not block it.
However, operators might not always have a docker
repository accessible/available for status image. Or
operators might not want the status to go over the
network. To allow such cases, and in general possibly
caching docker images, added a new environment variable
FN_DOCKER_LOAD_FILE. If this is set, fn-agent during
startup will load these images that were previously
saved with 'docker save' into docker.
In pure-runner and LB agent, service providers might want to set specific driver options.
For example, to add cpu-shares to functions, LB can add the information as extensions
to the Call and pass this via gRPC to runners. Runners then pick these extensions from
gRPC call and pass it to driver. Using a custom driver implementation, pure-runners can
process these extensions to modify docker.CreateContainerOptions.
To achieve this, LB agents can now be configured using a call overrider.
Pure-runners can be configured using a custom docker driver.
RunnerCall and Call interfaces both expose call extensions.
An example to demonstrate this is implemented in test/fn-system-tests/system_test.go
which registers a call overrider for LB agent as well as a simple custom docker driver.
In this example, LB agent adds a key-value to extensions and runners add this key-value
as an environment variable to the container.
