protoc now generates grpc code in a separate file from protobuf code.
Also, grpc servers are now required to embed an "unimplemented"
interface from the generated .pb.go file, which provides forward
compatibility.
Update the generate.go files since the invocation for protoc has changed
with the split into .pb.org and _grpc.pb.go.
Fixes#5368
This health service implements the gRPC Health Checking
Protocol, as defined in
https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/health-checking.md
and as implemented by the gRPC authors in
https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/grpc/health@v1.29.0
It simply instantiates a health service, and attaches it to the same
gRPC server that is handling requests to the primary (e.g. CA) service.
When the main service would be shut down (e.g. because it caught a
signal), it also sets the status of the service to NOT_SERVING.
This change also imports the health client into our grpc client,
ensuring that all of our grpc clients use the health service to inform
their load-balancing behavior.
This will be used to replace our current usage of polling the debug
port to determine whether a given service is up and running. It may
also be useful for more comprehensive checks and blackbox probing
in the future.
Part of #5074
Basically a complete re-write/re-design of the forwarding concept introduced in
#4297 (sorry for the rapid churn here). Instead of nonce-services blindly
forwarding nonces around to each other in an attempt to find out who issued the
nonce we add an identifying prefix to each nonce generated by a service. The
WFEs then use this prefix to decide which nonce-service to ask to validate the
nonce.
This requires a slightly more complicated configuration at the WFE/2 end, but
overall I think ends up being a way cleaner, more understandable, easy to
reason about implementation. When configuring the WFE you need to provide two
forms of gRPC config:
* one gRPC config for retrieving nonces, this should be a DNS name that
resolves to all available nonce-services (or at least the ones you want to
retrieve nonces from locally, in a two DC setup you might only configure the
nonce-services that are in the same DC as the WFE instance). This allows
getting a nonce from any of the configured services and is load-balanced
transparently at the gRPC layer.
* a map of nonce prefixes to gRPC configs, this maps each individual
nonce-service to it's prefix and allows the WFE instances to figure out which
nonce-service to ask to validate a nonce it has received (in a two DC setup
you'd want to configure this with all the nonce-services across both DCs so
that you can validate a nonce that was generated by a nonce-service in another
DC).
This balancing is implemented in the integration tests.
Given the current remote nonce code hasn't been deployed anywhere yet this
makes a number of hard breaking changes to both the existing nonce-service
code, and the forwarding code.
Fixes#4303.
