Overview ¶
Package settings provides a central registry of runtime editable settings and accompanying helper functions for retrieving their current values.
Settings values are stored in the system.settings table (which is gossiped). A gossip-driven worker updates this package's cached value when the table changes (see the `RefreshSettings` worker in the `sql` package).
The package's cache is global -- while all the usual drawbacks of mutable global state obviously apply, it is needed to make the package's functionality available to a wide variety of callsites, that may or may not have a *Server or similar available to plumb though.
To add a new setting, call one of the `Register` methods in `registry.go` and save the accessor created by the register function in the package where the setting is to be used. For example, to add an "enterprise" flag, adding into license_check.go:
var enterpriseEnabled = settings.RegisterBoolSetting(
"enterprise.enabled", "some doc for the setting", false,
)
Then use with `if enterpriseEnabled.Get() ...`
Settings should always be defined with "safe" default values -- until a node receives values via gossip, or even after that, if it cannot read them for some reason, it will use the default values, so define defaults that "fail safe".
In cases where the "safe" default doesn't actually match the desired default, like respecting an opt-*out* setting, we can default to `false` (opted out) and then use a migration to write an explicit `true`: in practice you'd still expect to read `true` unless a preference is expressed, but in the rare cases where you read a default, you don't risk ignoring an expressed opt-out.
Ideally, when passing configuration into some structure or subsystem, e.g. a rate limit into a client or something, passing a `*FooSetting` rather than a `Foo` and waiting to call `.Get()` until the value is actually used ensures observing the latest value.
Existing/off-the-shelf systems generally will not be defined in terms of our settings, but if they can either be swapped at runtime or expose some `setFoo` method, that can be used in conjunction with a change callback registered via OnChange.

Variables ¶
var Registry = make(map[string]Setting)
Registry contains all defined settings, their types and default values.
The registry does not store the current values of the settings; those are stored separately in Values, allowing multiple independent instances of each setting in the registry.
Registry should never be mutated after creation (except in tests), as it is read concurrently by different callers.
var TestOpaque interface{} = testOpaqueType{}
TestOpaque can be passed to Values.Init when we are testing the settings infrastructure.
Functions ¶
func EncodeBool ¶
EncodeBool encodes a bool in the format parseRaw expects.
func EncodeDuration ¶

func EncodeFloat ¶

func SetCanonicalValuesContainer ¶ added in v1.1.2
func SetCanonicalValuesContainer(v *Values)
SetCanonicalValuesContainer sets the Values container that will be refreshed at runtime -- ideally we should have no other *Values containers floating around, as they will be stale / lies.

Setting is a descriptor for each setting; once it is initialized, it is immutable. The values for the settings are stored separately, in Values. This way we can have a global set of registered settings, each with potentially multiple instances.
type StateMachineSetting ¶ added in v1.1.0
type StateMachineSetting struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A StateMachineSetting is a setting that keeps a state machine driven by user input.
For (a nonsensical) example, a StateMachineSetting can be used to maintain an encoded protobuf containing an integer that the user can only increment by 3 if the int is odd and by two if it is even. More generally, the setting starts from an initial state, and can take the current state into account when determining user input. Initially this is motivated for use in cluster version upgrades.
The state machine as well as its encoding are represented by the TransformerFn backing this StateMachineSetting. It is a method that takes
- the Values instance
- the known previous encoded value, if any (i.e. the current state)
- the update the user wants to make to the encoded struct (i.e. the desired transition)
and returns
- the new encoded value (i.e. the new state)
- an interface backed by a "user-friendly" representation of the new state (i.e. something that can be printed)
- an error if the input was illegal.
Furthermore,
- with a `nil` input byte slice, the default value (hidden in the transformer) is used internally
- with a `nil` update, the previous (or default) value is returned
- with both non-nil, a transition from the old state using the given update is carried out, and the new state and representation (or an error) returned.
The opaque member of Values can be used to associate a higher-level object to the Values instance (making it accessible to the function).
Updates to the setting via an Updater validate the new state syntactically, but not semantically. Users must call Validate with the authoritative previous state, the suggested state transition, and then overwrite the state machine with the result.

func (i *StateMachineSetting) SetOnChange(sv *Values, fn func())
