We aren't upgrading yet, because we don't want to begin using the new
Mockito APIs. But all the tests now pass with the newer version. There
are a lot of warnings that can't be fixed until we bump the mockito
version.
We previously limited at 1 minute because there was no server-side
enforcement. Now that there is server-side enforcement, it is safer to
allow clients to choose a lower value, since the service owner still has
to permit it.
They were added in #2863. In TestServiceClient metricsExpected() returns
false because server-side stats is not available, but client-side stats
are there, thus these asserts would fail.
Resolves grpc/grpc/issues/10552
Per spec this metric should be calculated on the server and sent back to
the client, for which the mechanism is not currently defined. As it's
not a required metric, we remove the incorrect implementation for now.

While we can use permit/deny in this one case, it isn't generalizable to
other cases. In order to avoid always questioning how to deal with
boolean config options, just pass the boolean in all cases.
This mirrors what is being done with the client-side's
keepAliveWithoutCalls.
These methods were very recently added, so there is a low risk of
breakage.
Background
==========
LoadBalancer needs to track RPC measurements and status for
load-reporting. We need to introduce a "Tracer" API for that.
Since such API is very close to the current
Census(instrumentation)-based stats reporting mechanism in terms of what
are recorded, we will migrate the Census-based stats reporting under the
new Tracer API.
Alternatives
============
We considered plumbing the LB-related information from the LoadBalancer
to the core, and recording those information along with the currently
recorded stats to Census. The LB-related information, such as LB_ID,
reason for dropping reqeusts etc, would be added to the Census
StatsContext as tags.
Since tags are held by StatsContext before eventually being recorded by
providing the measurements, and StatsContext is immutable, this would
require a way for LoadBalancer to override the StatsContext, which means
LoadBalancer API would has direct reference to the Census StatsContext.
This is undesirable because Census API is not stable yet.
Part of the LB-related information is whether the client has received
the initial headers from the server. While such information can be
grabbed by implementing a ClientInterceptor, it must be recorded along
with other information such as LB_ID to be useful, and LB_ID is only
available in GrpclbLoadBalancer.
Bottom line, trying to use solely the Census StatsContext API to record
LB load information would require extra data plumbing channel between
ClientInterceptor, LoadBalancer and the gRPC core, as well as exposing
Census API on the gRPC API. Even with those extensive changes, we are
yet to find a working solution. Therefore, we abandoned this idea and
propose this PR.
Summary of changes
==================
API summary
-----------
Introduce "StreamTracer" API, a callback interface for receiving stats
and tracing related updates concerning **a single stream**.
"ClientStreamTracer" and "ServerStreamTracer" add side-specific
events. A stream can have zero or more tracers and report to all of
them.
On the client-side, CallOptions now takes a list of
ClientStreamTracer.Factory. Opon creating a ClientStream, each of the
factory creates a ClientStreamTracer for the stream. This allows
ClientInterceptors to install its own tracer factories by overriding the
CallOptions.
Since StreamTracer only tracks the span of a stream, tracking of a
ClientCall needs to be done in a ClientInterceptor. By installing its
own StreamTracer when a ClientCall is created, ClientInterceptor can
associate the updates for a Call with the updates for the Streams
created for that Call. This is how we keep the existing Census
reporting mechanism in CensusStreamTracerModule.
On the server-side, ServerStreamTracer.Factory is added through the
ServerBuilder, and is used to create ServerStreamTracers for every
ServerStream.
The Tracer API supports propagation of stats/tracing information through
Context and metadata. Both client-side and server-side tracer factories
have access to the headers object. Client-side tracer relies on
interceptor to read the Context, while server-side tracer has
filterContext() method that can override the Context.
Implementation details
----------------------
Only real streams report stats. Pseudo streams such as delayed stream,
failing stream don't report. InProcess transport streams currently
don't report stats.
"StatsTraceContext" which used to receive updates from core and report
directly to Census (StatsContext), now delegates to the StreamTracers of
a stream. On the client-side, the scope of a StatsTraceContext reduces
from ClientCall to a ClientStream to match the scope of StreamTracer.
The Census-specific logic that was in StatsTraceContext is moved into
CensusStreamTracerModule, which produces factories for StreamTracers
that report to Census.
Reporting with StatsTraceContext is moved out of the Channel/Call layer
into Transport/Stream layer, to match the scope change of
StatsTraceContext.
Bug fixed
----------------
The end of a server-side call was reported in ServerCallImpl's
ServerStreamListenerImpl.closed(), which was wrong. Because closed()
receiving OK doesn't necessarily mean the RPC ended with OK. Instead it
means the server has successfully sent the final status, which may be
non-OK, to the client.
Now the end report is done in both ServerStream.close(any Status) and
before calling ServerStreamListener.closed(non-OK). Whichever happens
first is the reported status.
TODOs
=====
A follow-up change to the LoadBalancer API will add a
ClientStreamTracer.Factory to the PickResult to complete the API needed
by load-reporting.
Now that there is a config, the new defaults are now being enabled.
Previously there were no default limits. Now keepalives may not be more
frequent than every 5 minutes and only when there are outstanding RPCs.
Each time helper.updatePicker() is called, the Channel will re-process
all pending streams with the new picker. If the old picker is
equivalent to the old one, it's wasteful.
This is also needed to make our internal integration test easier.
Because the load-balancer may send address list that is identical to the
previous one, just to update the TTL. Without this change, new picker
replaces the old picker even if they carry the same list, which
effectively resets the round-robin pointer. This causes a little
imbalance between test backends, resulting in test failure.
To be in line with `NettyServerBuilder` APIs
- Deprecated `enableKeepAlive(boolean enable)` and
`enableKeepAlive(boolean enable, long keepAliveDelay, TimeUnit delayUnit, long keepAliveTimeout,
TimeUnit timeoutUnit)`
which never worked in v1.2
- Added `keepAliveTime(long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit timeUnit)` and
`keepAliveTimeout(long keepAliveTimeout, TimeUnit timeUnit)`
Everything is currently permitted, but I've tested with other
configurations and all tests pass. I'll set the restrictive default at
the same time as adding a configuration API.
d116cc9 fixed the NPE, but the initialization of the manager happened
_after_ newHandler() was called, so a null manager was passed to the
handler.
Fixes#2828
executor.schedule() will "eat" any exceptions thrown by the Runnables,
because the Future is expected to be used to see them. However, we never
call get() on the Future, so we need to just the exceptions like we do
elsewhere in this case.
