This PR fixes the pubsub so that it calls back messages in order.
This is important for applications that depend on message order (as opposed to just using the pubsub as a kick to go load updates).
In particular, the streaming provisioner job logs endpoint is very complicated and still broken (c.f. #7371) trying to deal with out of order messages.
As a second example, the
haCoordinator
will fail even the most trivial example of a client or agent sending multiple node updates if the pubsub messages get reordered.This PR creates an in-order queue of messages per subscriber (just a fixed size
chan
) and runs a goroutine per subscriber (instead of per subscriber per message) to deliver them.If the queue gets backed up, we drop messages rather than block. This was chosen rather than blocking the whole pubsub for a single Listener that isn't keeping up. Since the
pg.Listener
is, under the covers, handling DB reconnects, the pubsub can already drop messages, so from a design standpoint it's nothing new. In another PR I plan to add the capability for subscribers to get notified if messages are dropped.
