Hi @W1seKappa. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a github.com member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

I understand the idea here. If a namespace is matched by the label selector it's returned. If it is not an empty list is returned. I.e.:

  • indexer.ByIndex(indexName, NSmatched) -> {NSmatched} // list with a single ns
  • indexer.ByIndex(indexName, NSNotmatched) -> {} // empty list

On the other hand getNamespacesListByLabelSelector gives the belief all namespaces matching a label selector are returned. I.e. a label selector is the key, not a namespace. I.e.

  • indexer.ByIndex(indexName, LS1) -> list of namespaces matching LS1
  • ...
  • indexer.ByIndex(indexName, LSN) -> list of namespaces matching LSN

Given each profile can have its own DefaultEvictor configuration with a different label selector the current global "namespaceWithLabelSelector" indexer will not work correctly as once the first indexer gets registered, any second attempt returns the first indexer. So the second label selector will get ignored and all DefaultEvictors will share the first label selector.

@W1seKappa thank you for taking over. As the next step I suggest to create another unit test that have two profiles configured. Each with a different label selector and to make sure both evictors evict distinct set of namespaces to correctly validate the functionality. There's no need to create actual profiles. Just mimicking it through creating two default evictors over the same namespace informer.

@ingvagabund Hello, I manually tested the functionality you mentioned. Indeed, it is currently not working correctly. I see two ways to solve this problem:

  1. Create a separate index for each set of mathLabels.
namespaceLabelSelector:
    matchLabels:
            env: prod
            animal: cat

It will create its own index namespaceWithLabelSelector-animal=cat,env=prod.

namespaceLabelSelector:
    matchLabels:
         env: prod 

It will create its own index namespaceWithLabelSelector-env=prod.
This solution is currently implemented in the code. I understand the need for some optimizations, but I wanted to develop the core idea first.
2. Create an index for each pair in matchLabels.
These same configuration files will generate 3 indexes instead of 2:
namespaceWithLabelSelector-env=prod
namespaceWithLabelSelector-env=dev
namespaceWithLabelSelector-animal=cat

One drawback of creating indexer for each defaultplugin/nslabelselector is the number of indexers will grow with each profile. In addition, #1499 is asking for the same. So each plugin will have its own indexer in general. With #1758 getting later extended as another increase.

In the worst case all ns label selectors will be different. Allowing each plugin to choose the indexer name may lead to name collisions. Luckily, the label selector plays no role in the naming as each plugin has a unique position in the configuration. To make the ns indexer registration collision free the framework itself can expose a new method for the registration.

E.g.

type Handle interface {
	...
	RegisterNSIndexer(indexer func(obj interface{}) ([]string, error)) error
	GetNSIndexer() (cache.Indexer, error)
	...
}

or similar construct. Each plugin is injected with a Handle instance. So the indexer name can get generated based on the profile/plugin configuration indices. E.g. "profile_idx_pluginname_idx_nslabelselector".

In the best case all the ns label selectors can be identical. So the framework could do some smart indexing of the label selectors. With a match expression as another way. Leaving admins to take the responsibility of making the label selectors/match expressions properly chosen. E.g. avoiding "env=prod,animal=cat" and "animal=cat,env=prod" case.

An indexer is a nice way to quickly detect whether a namespace matches a label selector. With the current approach the indexer creates an optimal distribution of keys in a hash table. Either a namespace is matched (the ns has a hash key) or is not matched (the ns does not have a hash key). Trying to combine multiple label selectors into the same indexer would make the searching and updating less efficient.

Note: right now the configuration offers only a global node selector. Yet, it's also a valid case to have two different profiles targeting two distinct node pools. So the concept of growing the number of indexers with the number of profiles spans beyond the namespace label selector.

@ingvagabund, Hello!
If I understood correctly, at this stage it was necessary to add tests to this solution. I've done that.
Next, the indexing framework needs to be refactored. Right?
I would be happy to participate.
