Phil Sphicas b482b57e6e mariadb: avoid state management thread death
The mariadb container launches two threads in addition to the mysql
daemon, one to mantain a configmap containing the Galera Cluster state,
and the other to handle leader elections. These threads die if they
suffer any exceptions talking to the kubernetes apiserver. This can
happen sometimes, e.g. when a k8s control node reboots.

This change logs and ignores the kubernetes.client.rest.ApiException,
allowing the threads to retry and hopefully succeed once the k8s api
becomes available.

openstack-helm/mariadb

By default, this chart creates a 3-member mariadb galera cluster.

This chart leverages StatefulSets, with persistent storage.

It creates a job that acts as a temporary standalone galera cluster. This host is bootstrapped with authentication and then the WSREP bindings are exposed publicly. The cluster members being StatefulSets are provisioned one at a time. The first host must be marked as Ready before the next host will be provisioned. This is determined by the readinessProbes which actually validate that MySQL is up and responsive.

The configuration leverages xtrabackup-v2 for synchronization. This may later be augmented to leverage rsync which has some benefits.

Once the seed job completes, which completes only when galera reports that it is Synced and all cluster members are reporting in thus matching the cluster count according to the job to the replica count in the helm values configuration, the job is terminated. When the job is no longer active, future StatefulSets provisioned will leverage the existing cluster members as gcomm endpoints. It is only when the job is running that the cluster members leverage the seed job as their gcomm endpoint. This ensures you can restart members and scale the cluster.

The StatefulSets all leverage PVCs to provide stateful storage to /var/lib/mysql.

You must ensure that your control nodes that should receive mariadb instances are labeled with openstack-control-plane=enabled, or whatever you have configured in values.yaml for the label configuration:

kubectl label nodes openstack-control-plane=enabled --all
