What this PR does / why we need it: Allow CRS configuration to take in path values for lists, denoted by "*". This means it's possible to specify [..., <list>, "*", foo, ...] in the configuration to dynamically generate multiple metrics that reflect different states of foo in various list elements.

How does this change affect the cardinality of KSM: No change.

A related #1978

Current Custom State Resource API is a little complicated. Adding more features might bring more maintaining work and make it harder to migrate into cel.

I think cel can support this.

I agree with Catherine, we shouldn't add more complexity to the existing config but rather focus on the new model.

So, are we sunsetting the older model?

rexagod commented Jun 14, 2023

Also, there was a thread regarding separating the CRS featureset into its own repository (the "non-turing" solution here being CEL-like languages, that do not offer an exhaustive way of defining the configuration, unlike go-based templating solutions).

CatherineF-dev commented Jun 14, 2023

Reuse the wheel (cel, a query model) can reduce our maintaining work on how to extract fields.
Then we can spend efforts on other things, instead of putting many efforts on implementing a query language.

Will this mean that KSM's config capabilities will be restricted to what the underlying solution (#1978) has to offer?

CatherineF-dev commented Jun 14, 2023

cel should be a complete language, which means it can extract every field.

cel is more powerful than current APIs and is capable of extracting more things.

@dgrisonnet I'm assuming going forward with the newer model will mean we'll deprecate the older one. So, with that in mind, are PRs such as this and others like: #2067, #2052 obsolete and should be closed?

I need to catch up on the discussions, a lot happened when I was away, but my general feeling is that we are starting to make the configuration way too complex. My fear is that this is going to become too confusing for the users and I am also worries about the current state of the parser. Without a proper lexer/parser combination this is slowly becoming unmaintainable.

IMO with the state of things, we should rather focus on building new foundations for the config rather than making the existing one more complex since it will just make the migration process harder. wdyt?

I couldn't agree more.

The current CRS featureset, in addition to being complex and hardly maintainable for developers, doesn't have a clear, semantical, or easy-to-understand UX at the moment. Off the top of my mind, I can think of a few examples that go on to show a couple of such instances. I personally would not at all expect the user to be familiar with the following intricacies.

  • Relative paths can only be defined once, and the fact that technically there's two labelsFromPath possible but the other one does not support it.

           each:
             type: Info
             info:
               path: [spec, selector, labels]
               labelsFromPath:
                 "*": [matchLabels]
           labelsFromPath:
             name: [metadata, name]
  • The outer lablesFromPath operates on the subset that satified the inner labelsFromPath. In the configuration snippet below, the outer labelsFromPath will only generate name labels for all objects that satisfied the inner labelsFromPath, i.e., a non-nil foo label.

      	  each:
             type: Info
             info:
               path: [metadata]
               labelsFromPath:
                 "foo_label": [labels, foo]
           labelsFromPath:
             name: [metadata, name]
  • The difference in each of the configurations below, which looks more like a side-effect of another change.

     	  each:
             type: Info
             info:
               path: [users]
               labelsFromPath:
                 user: []

    outputs: kube_customresource_metric_name{..., user="user1"} 1 and kube_customresource_metric_name{..., user="user2"} 1 while,

     	  each:
             type: Info
             info:
               labelsFromPath:
                 user: [users]

    outputs: kube_customresource_metric_name{..., user="[user1 user2]"} 1.

TBH only reason I raised the aforementioned PRs was because I wasn't sure about the direction in which we were going to move forward over the last month regarding this, and assumed that doing so would entail discussions spanning a good while, so things would basically be done the same way as they were till now.

But, I'm enthusiastic and happy to see that there's a consensus on improving the current approach, and the discussions are yeilding actionable results. It'd be nice to see the proposed solution replacing as many configuration constructs as possible, in order to achieve a more accessible and deterministic UX for the user, thanks to @CatherineF-dev. 🎉

what would happen if value was an optional field and wasn't present in one of the order?

Why do we do that?

As far as I can tell this is made to propagate the wildcard to the value no? Like:

"foo_*": ["spec", "fooObj"]

yields the following path:

spec_fooObj_*

no?

I am not a fan of modifying the index and returning whether we find the wildcard or not. A more idiomatic approach would be similar to the search functions in the strings package where if found you return the index, otherwise -1

since we know the size of the path from the get go, it would be less expensive in terms of allocations to just allocate one slice and then fill it correctly
