Support specifying custom LB retry period from cloud provider #94021

timoreimann · 2020-08-15T08:09:41Z

What type of PR is this?
/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:
This change allows cloud providers to specify a custom retry period by returning a RetryError. The purpose is to bypass the work queue-driven exponential backoff algorithm when there is no need to back off.

Specifically, this can be the case when a cloud load balancer operation such as a create or delete is still pending and the cloud API should be polled for completion at a constant interval. A backoff algorithm would not always be reasonable to apply here since there is no API or performance degradation warranting an increasing wait time between API requests.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #88902

Special notes for your reviewer:
For now, the PR is meant to provide a starting point for discussing. Hence, I have not invested into adding tests. Once/if we have consent on the general direction of this PR, I am going to complete the missing pieces. (Tests have been added.)

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

Support specifying a custom retry period for cloud load-balancer operations

Additional documentation e.g., KEPs (Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals), usage docs, etc.:
Not sure if needed. None so far.

Hi @timoreimann. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

@andrewsykim @MrHohn does this proposal warrant a KEP, or would it suffice to move forward with the PR? In the latter case, I'd like to invest additional time to update the tests and bring the code into a mergeable state.

I don't think we need a KEP for this, let's get the tests added and try to merge this for v1.20

+// fixed duration (as opposed to backing off exponentially).
+type RetryError struct {
+	msg        string
+	retryAfter time.Duration


what should be the interpretation of 0?

There'd be no special interpretation. Instead, the retry would be immediate (see also where the value is used).

The need to retry right away may be uncommon or even rare, but I personally wouldn't want to disallow it. Maybe a user's network is very slow, or there are already some natural / drive-by delays that don't warrant another extra wait at the client side?

I think a zero delay can be legitimate, but let me know if you think differently.

I think is ok, I just wanted to double check we all have the same interpretation

you don't need to create these mocks, you can use a cache

serviceCache := cache.NewIndexer(cache.MetaNamespaceKeyFunc, cache.Indexers{cache.NamespaceIndex: cache.MetaNamespaceIndexFunc}) serviceLister := v1listers.NewServiceLister(serviceCache) for i := range test.services { if err := serviceCache.Add(test.services[i]); err != nil { t.Fatalf("%s unexpected service add error: %v", test.name, err) } }

That's much better -- adjusted, thanks!
