Burcu Dogan 0cd5c21a50 Remove reflect from chanotify and fix a deadlock case.
With the change, the read rate from (*Notifier).Chan()
is 10-20 times faster and more consistent.

Consider the following program:

  s := chanotify.New()
  for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
    ch := make(chan struct{}, 1)
    s.Add(ch, fmt.Sprintf("%d", i))
    go func(ch chan struct{}) {
      time.Sleep(time.Second) // because your original code has a deadlock case.
      ch <- struct{}{}
    }(ch)
  }

  avgs := make([]int64, n)
  go func() {
    for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
      start := time.Now()
      <-s.Chan()
      avgs[i] = time.Now().Sub(start).Nanoseconds()
    }
  }()

  time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
  s.Close()

  fmt.Println(avgs)

The output without the change; ignore the first value:

containerd

Containerd is a daemon to control runC, built for performance and density. Containerd leverages runC advanced features such as seccomp and user namespace support as well as checkpoint and restore for cloning and live migration of containers.

Status

alpha

What does alpha, beta, etc mean?

  • alpha - not feature complete
  • beta - feature complete but needs testing
  • prod ready - ready for production

Docs

For more documentation on various subjects refer to the /docs directory in this repository.

Building

You will need to make sure that you have Go installed on your system and the containerd repository is cloned in your $GOPATH. You will also need to make sure that you have all the dependencies cloned as well. Currently, contributing to containerd is not for the first time devs as many dependencies are not vendored and work is being completed at a high rate.

After that just run make and the binaries for the daemon and client will be localed in the bin/ directory.

Downloads

The easy way to test and use containerd is to view the releases page for binary downloads. We encourage everyone to use containerd this way until it is out of alpha status.

Performance

Starting 1000 containers concurrently runs at 126-140 containers per second.

Overall start times:

Telemetry

Currently containerd only outputs metrics to stdout but will support dumping to various backends in the future.

Roadmap

The current roadmap and milestones for alpha and beta completion are in the github issues on this repository. Please refer to these issues for what is being worked on and completed for the various stages of development.

API

GRPC API

The API for containerd is with GRPC over a unix socket located at the default location of /run/containerd/containerd.sock.

At this time please refer to the proto at for the API methods and types.
There is a Go implementation and types checked into this repository but alternate language implementations can be created using the grpc and protoc toolchain.

containerd CLI

There is a default cli named ctr based on the GRPC api. This cli will allow you to create and manage containers run with containerd.
