After several experiments at SoundCloud we found that the current
minimum read timeout of 10ms is too low. A single request against a
slow/unavailable authoritative server can cause all TCP connections to
get closed. We record a 50th percentile forward/proxy latency of <5ms,
and a 99th percentile latency of 60ms. Using a minimum timeout of 200ms
seems to be a fair trade-off between avoiding unnecessary high
connection churn and reacting to upstream failures in a timely manner.
This change also renames hcDuration to hcInterval to reflect its usage,
and removes the duplicated timeout constant to make code comprehension
easier.
* plugins: Return error for multiple use of some
Return plugin.ErrOnce when a plugin that doesn't support it, is called
mutliple times.
This now adds it for: cache, dnssec, errors, forward, hosts, nsid.
And changes it slightly in kubernetes, pprof, reload, root.
* more tests
* plugin/forward: on demand healtchecking
Only start doing health checks when we encouner an error (any error).
This uses the new pluing/pkg/up package to abstract away the actual
checking. This reduces the LOC quite a bit; does need more testing, unit
testing and tcpdumping a bit.
* fix tests
* Fix readme
* Use pkg/up for healthchecks
* remove unused channel
* more cleanups
* update readme
* * Again do go generate and go build; still referencing the wrong forward
repo? Anyway fixed.
* Use pkg/up for doing the healtchecks to cut back on unwanted queries
* Change up.Func to return an error instead of a boolean.
* Drop the string target argument as it doesn't make sense.
* Add healthcheck test on failing to get an upstream answer.
TODO(miek): double check Forward and Lookup and how they interact with
HC, and if we correctly call close() on those
* actual test
* Tests here
* more tests
* try getting rid of host
* Get rid of the host indirection
* Finish removing hosts
* moar testing
* import fmt
* field is not used
* docs
* move some stuff
* bring back health_check
* maxfails=0 test
* git and merging, bah
* review
* plugin/forward: add it
This moves coredns/forward into CoreDNS. Fixes as a few bugs, adds a
policy option and more tests to the plugin.
Update the documentation, test IPv6 address and add persistent tests.
* Always use random policy when spraying
* include scrub fix here as well
* use correct var name
* Code review
* go vet
* Move logging to metrcs
* Small readme updates
* Fix readme
