The new fake client properly represents the resource of `PodMetrics` as
"pods" and the resource of `NodeMetrics` as "nodes". Previously, it
used "podmetricses" and "nodemetrics", respectively.
This fixes up `horizontal_test.go` and `replica_calc_test.go` to use the
new names.
This commit switches over the HPA controller to use the custom metrics
API. It also converts the HPA controller to use the generated client
in k8s.io/metrics for the resource metrics API.
In order to enable support, you must enable
`--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients` on the
controller-manager, which will switch the HPA controller's MetricsClient
implementation over to use the standard rest clients for both custom
metrics and resource metrics. This requires that at the least resource
metrics API is registered with kube-aggregator, and that the controller
manager is pointed at kube-aggregator. For this to work, Heapster
must be serving the new-style API server (`--api-server=true`).
This commit converts the HPA controller over to using the new version of
the HorizontalPodAutoscaler object found in autoscaling/v2alpha1. Note
that while the autoscaler will accept requests for object metrics, the
scale client will return an error on attempts to get object metrics
(since that requires the new custom metrics API, which is not yet
implemented).
This also enables the HPA object in v2alpha1 as a retrievable API
version by default.
In certain conditions in which the set of metrics returned by Heapster
is completely disjoint from the set of pods returned by the API server,
we can have a request sum of zero, which can cause a panic (due to
division by zero). This checks for that condition.
Fixes#39680
Currently, the HPA considers unready pods the same as ready pods when
looking at their CPU and custom metric usage. However, pods frequently
use extra CPU during initialization, so we want to consider them
separately.
This commit causes the HPA to consider unready pods as having 0 CPU
usage when scaling up, and ignores them when scaling down. If, when
scaling up, factoring the unready pods as having 0 CPU would cause a
downscale instead, we simply choose not to scale. Otherwise, we simply
scale up at the reduced amount caculated by factoring the pods in at
zero CPU usage.
The effect is that unready pods cause the autoscaler to be a bit more
conservative -- large increases in CPU usage can still cause scales,
even with unready pods in the mix, but will not cause the scale factors
to be as large, in anticipation of the new pods later becoming ready and
handling load.
Similarly, if there are pods for which no metrics have been retrieved,
these pods are treated as having 100% of the requested metric when
scaling down, and 0% when scaling up. As above, this cannot change the
direction of the scale.
This commit also changes the HPA to ignore superfluous metrics -- as
long as metrics for all ready pods are present, the HPA we make scaling
decisions. Currently, this only works for CPU. For custom metrics, we
cannot identify which metrics go to which pods if we get superfluous
metrics, so we abort the scale.
