Default installations of cloned VMs on VMware like env
might experience serious problems with time skewing,
allow for a higher value instead of 3 seconds we are
moving to 15 minutes just like API level skew.
Access to internet and configuring ntp might not be possible,
in such situations providing atleast a 15 minute skew could
cater for majority of situations.
This PR brings semver capabilities in our RPC layer to
ensure that we can upgrade the servers in rolling fashion
while keeping I/O in progress. This is only a framework change
the functionality remains the same as such and we do not
have any special API changes for now. But in future when
we bring in API changes we will be able to upgrade servers
without a downtime.
Additional change in this PR is to not abort when serverVersions
mismatch in a distributed cluster, instead wait for the quorum
treat the situation as if the server is down. This allows
for administrator to properly upgrade all the servers in the cluster.
Fixes#5393
This is an improvement upon existing implementation
by avoiding transfer of access and secret keys over
the network. This change only exchanges JWT tokens
generated by an rpc client. Even if the JWT can be
traced over the network on a non-TLS connection, this
change makes sure that we never really expose the
secret key over the network.
This removal comes to avoid some redundant requirements
which are adding more problems on a production setup.
Here are the list of checks for time as they happen
- Fresh connect (during server startup) - CORRECT
- A reconnect after network disconnect - CORRECT
- For each RPC call - INCORRECT.
Verifying time for each RPC aggravates a situation
where a RPC call is rejected in a sequence of events
due to enough load on a production setup. 3 second
might not be enough time window for the call to be
initiated and received by the server.
* Rename GenericArgs to AuthRPCArgs
* Rename GenericReply to AuthRPCReply
* Remove authConfig.loginMethod and add authConfig.ServiceName
* Rename loginServer to AuthRPCServer
* Rename RPCLoginArgs to LoginRPCArgs
* Rename RPCLoginReply to LoginRPCReply
* Version and RequestTime are added to LoginRPCArgs and verified by
server side, not client side.
* Fix data race in lockMaintainence loop.
