HIVE-3171: operator: defer NetworkPolicy teardown until workload pods terminate - #2945
Conversation
When HiveConfig.spec.targetNamespace changes, the operator scrubs its resources out of the former target namespace. Previously each cleanup loop deleted its allow-all NetworkPolicy before (and without waiting for) the workload pods to terminate. In environments where the admin applies a baseline deny-all NetworkPolicy, removing Hive's allow-all policy while a controller/admission/sharded pod is still shutting down strands that pod without the egress it needs to release its leader lease and exit cleanly, leaving it in Error and lingering in the old namespace. Split old-namespace teardown into two phases: - Phase 1 (deployHive, deployHiveAdmission): delete workloads and their satellite objects, but not the NetworkPolicies. Factored the repeated delete loop into a shared helper, deleteAssetsFromOldNamespaces. - Phase 2 (Reconcile): once a former target namespace's workload pods have terminated, delete its NetworkPolicies; unlabel only fully-scrubbed namespaces and requeue any still draining. The hive-controllers NetworkPolicy governs the sharded controllers too, so NetworkPolicy removal is centralized (it cannot live in any single per-workload loop); sharded_controllers.go is therefore unchanged. Add pkg/operator/hive/hive_test.go with deterministic unit tests covering the pod-drain check and the NetworkPolicy gating contract.

It's trivial to add "pods" to clientFor().
(I don't have any particular objection to using the typed client, assuming it doesn't have caching problems, but if you decide to keep it, I don't think we need this comment.)

It's trivial to add, but it means that the test has to create a fake dynamic client. This attempt avoids it. Let me know if you feel strongly enough about it.

No, not a big deal, I just didn't like the comment :)

We could use set math here to include the remaining namespaces in the message. (I can't think of a reason we shouldn't use a set for namespacesToClean from the start.)

Changing namespacesToClean to a set across the full usage would be a massive scope increase beside this fix. It also could be performed separately. Are you sure that's what you want?

For now, just did local set math instead of changing the type through the callchains.

Yah, that's fine. I meant to mention that not all of my comments demanded action :P

We need to demonstrate deletion of netpols. We may not need new test cases: it may suffice just to include one or both netpols in the clientsets and then EXPECT() them to be Delete()d or not, as appropriate.

Ohh, I misread this initially, the EXPECT().Delete()s are the netpols -- I thought they were the pods 🤦

I appreciate the thoroughness, but if we can demonstrate coverage via the scrub... suites, it's probably overkill to have a whole suite for the hivePodsGone helper.

I'll retract this file, then.
- Drop "allow-all" from NetworkPolicy comments; the characteristic may change. - Note idempotency in the deleteAssetsFromOldNamespaces doc comment. - Reflow the phase-2 comment per review suggestion. - Name the remaining (unscrubbed) namespaces in the requeue log via set math. - Keep the typed kube client for the pod check; drop the justifying comment. - Consolidate the test pod helper into one func; drop the standalone hivePodsGone suite (covered transitively by the scrub table, which now includes a label-selectivity case).

Match the NetworkPolicy API version and kind.
Match networking.k8s.io/v1 and "NetworkPolicy" in both test functions instead of using gomock.Any().

This would have obviated my boneheaded comment earlier 😬

@2uasimojo, no problem. The stricter expectations make the tested NetworkPolicy deletion contract explicit.

What
On
HiveConfig.spec.targetNamespacechange, the operator scrubs its resources from the former target namespace. Today each cleanup loop deletes its allow-allNetworkPolicybefore (and without waiting for) the workload pods to terminate.In environments where the cluster admin applies a baseline deny-all
NetworkPolicy(a real production posture), removing Hive's allow-all policy while a controller/admission/sharded pod is still shutting down strands that pod without the egress it needs to release its leader lease and exit cleanly — leaving it inErrorand lingering in the old namespace.How
Two-phase old-namespace teardown:
deployHive,deployHiveAdmission): delete workloads and their satellite objects, but not theNetworkPolicies. The repeated delete loop is factored into a shared helperdeleteAssetsFromOldNamespaces.Reconcile): once a former target namespace's workload pods have terminated (checked via thehive.openshift.io/componentlabel), delete itsNetworkPolicies; unlabel only fully-scrubbed namespaces and requeue any still draining.The
hive-controllersNetworkPolicygoverns the sharded controllers as well, soNetworkPolicyremoval is centralized — it can't correctly live in any single per-workload loop.sharded_controllers.gois therefore unchanged.Testing
Adds
pkg/operator/hive/hive_test.go(deterministic, no cluster; fake kube clientset + gomock):TestHivePodsGone— label-existence and namespace selectivity of the pod-drain check.TestScrubOldNamespaceNetworkPolicies_PodsPresent— the guard:NetworkPoliciesare not deleted while workload pods remain._PodsGone/_Mixed— netpols deleted and namespace reported scrubbed only once drained.The end-to-end symptom (a pod stranded by blocked egress) is only reproducible with a live CNI, which is why the netpol e2e coverage (#2944) surfaced it only intermittently; this unit test deterministically guards the operator's ordering contract.

Follow-up to the netpol e2e work in #2944 (HIVE-2671), kept as a separate branch/PR so the operator fix reviews independently of the e2e test changes.
