Right now, inventory updates may return a conflict error from Kubernetes. The inventory client should detect this (apierrors.IsConflict(err)) and retry with a new Get (to update the ResourceVersion) + Update.
Example retry code:
type retriable func(ctx context.Context) (retry bool, err error)
func retryWithBackoff(ctx context.Context, timeout time.Duration, fn retriable) error {
var err error
var retry bool
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout)
defer cancel()
delay := 1 + time.Second
for {
// attempt to update status
retry, err = fn(ctx)
if !retry {
return err
}
// wait until delay or timeout
timer := time.NewTimer(delay)
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
timer.Stop()
return fmt.Errorf("timed out after retrying for %v: %w", timeout, err)
case <-timer.C:
// continue
}
// retry backoff
delay = delay * 2
}
}
example usage:
// attempt to update status until timeout
ctx := context.TODO()
timeout := 1 * time.Minute
return retryWithBackoff(ctx, timeout, func(ctx context.Context) (retry bool, err error) {
// Get the object to get the latest ResourceVersion.
latestObj, err := resource.Get(ctx, obj.GetName(), metav1.GetOptions{TypeMeta: meta})
if err != nil {
return false, fmt.Errorf("failed to get inventory status from cluster: %w", err)
}
// Ignore any status changes made remotely.
// This update will replace them.
obj.SetResourceVersion(latestObj.GetResourceVersion())
_, err = resource.UpdateStatus(ctx, obj, metav1.UpdateOptions{TypeMeta: meta})
if err != nil {
// retry if conflict
return apierrors.IsConflict(err), fmt.Errorf("failed to write updated inventory status to cluster: %w", err)
}
return false, nil
})
Another option is to use https://github.com/flowchartsman/retry which is nice and generic. gcloud and client-go also have retry libs.
