This implementation does not guarantee that only one // client is acting as a leader (a.k.a. fencing). // // A client only acts on timestamps captured locally to infer the state of the // leader election. The client does not consider timestamps in the leader // election record to be accurate because these timestamps may not have been // produced by a local clock. The implemention does not depend on their // accuracy and only uses their change to indicate that another client has // renewed the leader lease. Thus the implementation is tolerant to arbitrary // clock skew, but is not tolerant to arbitrary clock skew rate. // // However the level of tolerance to skew rate can be configured by setting // RenewDeadline and LeaseDuration appropriately. The tolerance expressed as a // maximum tolerated ratio of time passed on the fastest node to time passed on // the slowest node can be approximately achieved with a configuration that sets // the same ratio of LeaseDuration to RenewDeadline. For example if a user wanted // to tolerate some nodes progressing forward in time twice as fast as other nodes, // the user could set LeaseDuration to 60 seconds and RenewDeadline to 30 seconds. // // While not required, some method of clock synchronization between nodes in the // cluster is highly recommended. It's important to keep in mind when configuring // this client that the tolerance to skew rate varies inversely to master // availability. // // Larger clusters often have a more lenient SLA for API latency. This should be // taken into account when configuring the client. The rate of leader transitions // should be monitored and RetryPeriod and LeaseDuration should be increased // until the rate is stable and acceptably low. It's important to keep in mind // when configuring this client that the tolerance to API latency varies inversely // to master availability. // // DISCLAIMER: this is an alpha API. This library will likely change significantly // or even be removed entirely in subsequent releases. Depend on this API at // your own risk. package leaderelection import ( "bytes" "context" "fmt" "sync" "time" "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/api/errors" metav1 "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1" "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime" "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait" rl "k8s.io/client-go/tools/leaderelection/resourcelock" "k8s.io/klog/v2" "k8s.io/utils/clock" ) const ( JitterFactor = 1.2 ) // NewLeaderElector creates a LeaderElector from a LeaderElectionConfig func NewLeaderElector(lec LeaderElectionConfig) (*LeaderElector, error) { if lec.LeaseDuration <= lec.RenewDeadline { return nil, fmt.Errorf("leaseDuration must be greater than renewDeadline") } if lec.RenewDeadline <= time.Duration(JitterFactor*float64(lec.RetryPeriod)) { return nil, fmt.Errorf("renewDeadline must be greater than retryPeriod*JitterFactor") } if lec.LeaseDuration < 1 { return nil, fmt.Errorf("leaseDuration must be greater than zero") } if lec.RenewDeadline < 1 { return nil, fmt.Errorf("renewDeadline must be greater than zero") } if lec.RetryPeriod < 1 { return nil, fmt.Errorf("retryPeriod must be greater than zero") } if lec.Callbacks.OnStartedLeading == nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("OnStartedLeading callback must not be nil") } if lec.Callbacks.OnStoppedLeading == nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("OnStoppedLeading callback must not be nil") } if lec.Lock == nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("Lock must not be nil.") } id := lec.Lock.Identity() if id == "" { return nil, fmt.Errorf("Lock identity is empty") } le := LeaderElector{ config: lec, clock: clock.RealClock{}, metrics: globalMetricsFactory.newLeaderMetrics(), } le.metrics.leaderOff(le.config.Name) return &le, nil } type LeaderElectionConfig struct { // Lock is the resource that will be used for locking Lock rl.Interface // LeaseDuration is the duration that non-leader candidates will // wait to force acquire leadership.
