This knob tells consul whether it should prefer the WAN address (if set)
when making service lookups in remote datacenters. This enables
reachability for remote services which are behind a NAT.
Consolidate code duplication and tests into a single lib package. Most of these functions were from various **/util.go functions that couldn't be imported due to cyclic imports. The consul/lib package is intended to be a terminal node in an import DAG and a place to stash various consul-only helper functions. Pulled in hashicorp/go-uuid instead of consolidating UUID access.
* A batch of updates is done all in a single transaction.
* We no longer need to get an update to kick things, there's a periodic flush.
* If incoming updates overwhelm the configured flush rate they will be dumped with an error.
Fixes#550.
This will make it possible to configure the advertised adresses for
SerfLan, SerfWan and RPC. It will enable multiple consul clients on a
single host which is very useful in a container environment.
This option might override advertise_addr and advertise_addr_wan
depending on the configuration.
It will be configureable with advertise_addrs. Example:
{
"advertise_addrs": {
"serf_lan": "10.0.120.91:4424",
"serf_wan": "201.20.10.61:4423",
"rpc": "10.20.10.61:4424"
}
}
Client works for RPC; will honor CONSUL_RPC_ADDR. HTTP works via consul/api;
honors CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR.
The format of a Unix socket in configuration data is:
"unix://[/path/to/socket];[username or uid];[gid];[mode]"
Obviously, the user must have appropriate permissions to create the socket
file in the given path and assign the requested uid/gid. Also note that Go does
not support gid lookups from group name, so gid must be numeric. See
https://codereview.appspot.com/101310044
When connecting from the client, the format is just the first part of the
above line:
"unix://[/path/to/socket]"
