Description

Followup to #13341

Addresses and fixes #14180. This PR is quite large and incorporates many changes; some planned in advance, some found while investigating #14164, and some on the go as race detections were added.

To make sense of the changes, most commits in this PR can be considered in isolation:

  • 0ac7b55 removes excessive use of goroutine, partly to fix a race condition, partly to simplify the code.
  • 6c728ff dereferences a typed struct, just by means of simplifying the code.
  • 23a1872 removes InstanceKey type; all probes are now identified by a tablet alias, and all access to tablets is done by tablt alias or tablet reference. Any hostname:port access (or information) is gone.
  • 2d7b093 removes the old HTTP-based probing. The throttler post v18 now only uses gRPC for inter-tablet checks.
  • 5e3bd0d uses more idiomatic create/destroy flow upon Open() & Close(). Things that don't need to operate when the throttler is Close()d now won't.
  • 0ecb51b adapts to recent golang atomic types.
  • 92edb62, 4cefacd, and 13ea301 introduce proper unit testing, with some emphasis on race detection. Some implied code fixes have been made due to race detection. Some minor refactoring to throttler code (fields, functions) so that unit testing is made possible.
  • 11cebfc updates LICENSEs.

Fixes #14180

It also fixes issue #14178 for post-v18. However, a dedicated PR #14179 fixes #14178 for both post v18 as well as v18, v17, v16 backport.

Not sure if it's worth it or not, but we could use the *topodatapb.TabletAlias type as the key instead of string. String is fine too, IMO.

Yeah it's a good point. It will be yet another somewhat significant change what with all the tests. I'm happy to give this a go in a followup PR, as this PR is already bloated as it is.

I think it would be slightly more readable if it was if throttler.IsOpen() && throttler.tabletTypeFunc() == topodatapb.TabletType_PRIMARY {

IMO it's nicer to pass the value into the groutine function, but this is also fine. Personal pref I suppose, I just find it more clear/deliberate/obvious. Maybe we can just add a comment about the closure issue instead for future readers so they don't delete the line as "unneeded". :-)

rewritten. The one thing I don't like about the pass-the-value-to-goroutine paradigm, is that the value is passed 20 lines of code below. Otherwise I recognize it's the dominant paradigm.

fixed. I'm now working with a new spellchecker that is not as intrusive as others I've worked with, let's see how it improves my typos rate.
