The prior change was incorrectly handling snapshotting of replacement
operations. Further, in hindsight, the older model of having steps
manage their interaction with the snapshot marking was clearer, so
I've essentially brought that back, merging it with the other changes.
This change simplifies the necessary RPC changes for components.
Instead of a Begin/End pair, which complicates the whole system
because now we have the opportunity of a missing End call, we will
simply let RPCs come in that append outputs to existing states.
This change brings back component outputs to the overall system again.
In doing so, it generally overhauls the way we do resource RPCs a bit:
* Instead of RegisterResource and CompleteResource, we call these
BeginRegisterResource and EndRegisterResource, which begins to model
these as effectively "asynchronous" resource requests. This should also
help with parallelism (https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/106).
* Flip the CLI/engine a little on its head. Rather than it driving the
planning and deployment process, we move more to a model where it
simply observes it. This is done by implementing an event handler
interface with three events: OnResourceStepPre, OnResourceStepPost,
and OnResourceComplete. The first two are invoked immediately before
and after any step operation, and the latter is invoked whenever a
EndRegisterResource comes in. The reason for the asymmetry here is
that the checkpointing logic in the deployment engine is largely
untouched (intentionally, as this is a sensitive part of the system),
and so the "begin"/"end" nature doesn't flow through faithfully.
* Also make the engine more event-oriented in its terminology and the
way it handles the incoming BeginRegisterResource and
EndRegisterResource events from the language host. This is the first
step down a long road of incrementally refactoring the engine to work
this way, a necessary prerequisite for parallelism.
Adds OpenTracing in the Pulumi engine and plugin + langhost subprocesses.
We currently create a single root span for any `Enging.plan` operation - which is a single `preview`, `update`, `destroy`, etc.
The only sub-spans we currently create are at gRPC boundaries, both on the client and server sides and on both the langhost and provider plugin interfaces.
We could extend this to include spans for any other semantically meaningful sections of compute inside the engine, though initial examples show we get pretty good granularity of coverage by focusing on the gRPC boundaries.
In the future, this should be easily extensible to HTTP boundaries and to track other bulky I/O like datastore read/writes once we hook up to the PPC and Pulumi Cloud.
We expose a `--trace <endpoint>` option to enable tracing on the CLI, which we will aim to thread through to subprocesses.
We currently support sending tracing data to a Zipkin-compatible endpoint. This has been validated with both Zipkin and Jaeger UIs.
We do not yet have any tracing inside the TypeScript side of the JS langhost RPC interface. There is not yet automatic gRPC OpenTracing instrumentation (though it looks like it's in progress now) - so we would need to manually create meaningful spans on that side of the interface.
The event diagnostic goroutines could error out sometimes during
early program exits, due to a race between the goroutine writing to
the channel and the early exiting goroutine which closed the channel.
This change stops closing the channels entirely on the abrupt exit
paths, since it's not necessary and we want to exit immediately.
If a plugin fails to load after we've set up the goroutines that copy
from its std{out,err} streams, then those goroutines can end up writing
to a closed event channel. This change ensures that we properly drain
those streams in this case.
Previously we used the word "Environment" as the term for a deployment
target, but since then we've started to use the term Stack. Adopt this
across the CLI.
From a user's point of view, there are a few changes:
1. The `env` verb has been renamed to `stack`
2. The `-e` and `--env` options to commands which operate on an
environment now take `-s` or `--stack` instead.
3. Becase of (2), the commands that used `-s` to display a summary now
only support passing the full option name (`--summary`).
On the local file system, we still store checkpoint data in the `env`
sub-folder under `.pulumi` (so we can reuse existing checkpoint files
that were written to the old folder)
Previously, the engine would write to io.Writer's to display output.
When hosted in `pulumi` these writers were tied to os.Stdout and
os.Stderr, but other applications hosting the engine could send them
other places (e.g. a log to be sent to an another application later).
While much better than just using the ambient streams, this was still
not the best. It would be ideal if the engine could just emit strongly
typed events and whatever is hosting the engine could care about
displaying them.
As a first step down that road, we move to a model where operations on
the engine now take a `chan engine.Event` and during the course of the
operation, events are written to this channel. It is the
responsibility of the caller of the method to read from the channel
until it is closed (singifying that the operation is complete).
The events we do emit are still intermingle presentation with data,
which is unfortunate, but can be improved over time. Most of the
events today are just colorized in the client and printed to stdout or
stderr without much thought.
Previously, the engine was concered with maintaing information about
the currently active environment. Now, the CLI is in charge of
this. As part of this change, the engine can now assume that every
environment has a non empty name (and I've added asserts on the
entrypoints of the engine API to ensure that any consumer of the
engine passes a non empty environment name)
