Error while installing the operator manifest

[viveksinghggits]

We get below error, if we just follow the step that is mentioned in the README to install the operator

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foundationdb/fdb-kubernetes-operator/master/config/samples/deployment.yaml -n fdb-err
Warning: kubectl apply should be used on resource created by either kubectl create --save-config or kubectl apply

The CustomResourceDefinition "foundationdbclusters.apps.foundationdb.org" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 characters

It seems the resource manifest is too long.

Ah, you're right. I think the addition of the pod spec to the CRD caused it to get too long for kubectl apply to handle. There's a similar issue on the kubebuilder repo: kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder#1140

@brownleej there seems to be another issue, if I just kubectl apply the manifests that are mentioned in the README, we get the error in the operator pod saying its not able to list the pods. I think you might wanna look at that as well.

Can you clarify which manifests you are installing? I would expect the deployment.yaml to hit the issue you described above with the annotation length. Absent that manifest, you wouldn't have the operator installed at all, unless you installed it through some other means, which could cause the permissions issue you're seeing.

[viveksinghggits]

I will post the details in some time.

I've made a change to remove the CRD from the sample deployment, and updated the README with new installation instructions. @viveksinghggits Can you see if you are able to install the operator based on the updated instructions?
