We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout
setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added
in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request
already took longer than the provided timeout.
The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also
expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the
request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342),
and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951).
Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism
gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely
on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client
and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured
timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways.
This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages.
Adds a new parameter to the BlobContainer#write*Blob methods to specify whether the existing file
should be overridden or not. For some metadata files in the repository, we actually want to replace
the current file. This is currently implemented through an explicit blob delete and then a fresh write.
In case of using a cloud provider (S3, GCS, Azure), this results in 2 API requests instead of just 1.
This change will therefore allow us to achieve the same functionality using less API requests.
This commit removes some tests in the repository-s3 plugin that
have not been executed for 2+ years but have been maintained
for nothing. Most of the tests in AbstractAwsTestCase were
obsolete or superseded by fixture based integration tests.
Many fixtures have similar code for writing the pid & ports files or
for handling HTTP requests. This commit adds an AbstractHttpFixture
class in the test framework that can be extended for specific testing purposes.
There's no need for an extra blobExists() call when writing a blob to the Azure service. Azure
provides an option (with stronger consistency guarantees) on the upload method that guarantees
that the blob that's uploaded does not already exist. This saves one network roundtrip.
Relates to #19749
Similarly to what has been done in for the repository-s3 plugin, this
pull request moves the fixture test into a dedicated
repository-azure/qa/microsoft-azure-storage project.
It also exposes some environment variables which allows to execute the
integration tests against the real Azure Storage service. When the
environment variables are not defined, the integration tests are
executed using the fixture added in #29347.
Closes#29349
