A client observes timestamps captured locally to // infer the state of the leader election. 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 ( "fmt" "reflect" "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" "k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/apis/componentconfig" rl "k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/client/leaderelection/resourcelock" "github.com/golang/glog" "github.com/spf13/pflag" ) const ( JitterFactor = 1.2 DefaultLeaseDuration = 15 * time.Second DefaultRenewDeadline = 10 * time.Second DefaultRetryPeriod = 2 * time.Second ) // NewLeadereElector creates a LeaderElector from a LeaderElecitionConfig 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.Lock == nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("Lock must not be nil.") } return &LeaderElector{ config: lec, }, 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.
