* During initial Event processing submit the service account for pods and bind it to a cluster role that allows Patroni to successfully start. The cluster role is assumed to be created by the k8s cluster administrator.
* Up until now, the operator read its own configuration from the
configmap. That has a number of limitations, i.e. when the
configuration value is not a scalar, but a map or a list. We use a
custom code based on github.com/kelseyhightower/envconfig to decode
non-scalar values out of plain text keys, but that breaks when the data
inside the keys contains both YAML-special elememtns (i.e. commas) and
complex quotes, one good example for that is search_path inside
`team_api_role_configuration`. In addition, reliance on the configmap
forced a flag structure on the configuration, making it hard to write
and to read (see
https://github.com/zalando-incubator/postgres-operator/pull/308#issuecomment-395131778).
The changes allow to supply the operator configuration in a proper YAML
file. That required registering a custom CRD to support the operator
configuration and provide an example at
manifests/postgresql-operator-default-configuration.yaml. At the moment,
both old configmap and the new CRD configuration is supported, so no
compatibility issues, however, in the future I'd like to deprecate the
configmap-based configuration altogether. Contrary to the
configmap-based configuration, the CRD one doesn't embed defaults into
the operator code, however, one can use the
manifests/postgresql-operator-default-configuration.yaml as a starting
point in order to build a custom configuration.
Since previously `ReadyWaitInterval` and `ReadyWaitTimeout` parameters
used to create the CRD were taken from the operator configuration, which
is not possible if the configuration itself is stored in the CRD object,
I've added the ability to specify them as environment variables
`CRD_READY_WAIT_INTERVAL` and `CRD_READY_WAIT_TIMEOUT` respectively.

* Switchover must wait for the inner goroutine before it returns.
Otherwise, two corner cases may happen:
- waitForPodLabel writes to the podLabelErr channel that has been
already closed by the outer routine
- the outer routine exists and the caller subscribes to the pod
the inner goroutine has already subscribed to, resulting in panic.
The previous commit fe47f9ebea
that touched that code added the cancellation channel, but didn't bother
to actually wait for the goroutine to be cancelled.
Per report and review from @valer-cara.
Original issue: https://github.com/zalando-incubator/postgres-operator/issues/342
The old way of specifying it with the annotation is deprecated and not
available in recent Kubernetes versions. We will keep it there anyway
until upgrading to the new go-client that is incompatible with those
versions.
Per report from @schmitch
* Define sidecars in the operator configuration.
Right now only the name and the docker image can be defined, but with
the help of the pod_environment_configmap parameter arbitrary
environment variables can be passed to the sidecars.
* Refactoring around generatePodTemplate.

To improve the documentation we need to split it into smaller parts:
* quickstart (in the readme)
* general concepts
* tutorials
* how to
* references
And then add the missing information. So far I just split the existing
documentation and left references almost empty. I assume that references
may duplicate the rest of the documentation in a way that the doc will
have references to this section, that contains all the formal details.
Call Patroni API /config in order to set special options that are
ignored when set in the configuration file, such as max_connections.
Per https://github.com/zalando-incubator/postgres-operator/issues/297
* Some minor refacoring:
Rename Cluster ManualFailover to Swithover
Rename Patroni Failover to Switchover
Add more details to error messages and comments introduced in this PR.
Review by @zerg-junior
* Bump up a Spilo version to use Patroni >= v1.4.4 ; this fixes issues with k8s 1.10 API changes
* Bump up an operator version to use the new 'etcd_host' default value
* Re-use 'zalando-postgres-operator' as a pod service account and add extra RBAC permissions to make it work
* Document in quickstart connecting to Postgres via psql
After an unsuccessful initial cluster sync it may happen that the
cluster statefulset is empty. This has been made more likely since
88d6a7be3, since it has introduced syncing volumes before statefulsets,
and the volume sync mail fail for different reasons (i.e. the volume has
been shrinked, or too many calls to Amazon).
Some special patroni postgresql parameters, like max_connections,
should reside in the bootstrap.dcs.postgresql.parameters section
to come into effect.
When there is an error happening upon deletion of the Kubernetes object
belonging to the cluster being removed, it makes no sense to abort the
deletion: the manifest will be removed anyway, therefore all the objects
after the one we aborted at will stay forever.
