There used to be a masterLess flag that was supposed to indicate whether the cluster it belongs to runs without the acting master by design. At some point, as we didn't really have support for such clusters, the flag has been misused to indicate there is no master in the cluster. However, that was not done consistently (a cluster without all pods running would never be masterless, even when the master is not among the running pods) and it was based on the wrong assumption that the masterless cluster will remain masterless until the next attempt to change that flag, ignoring the possibility of master coming up or some node doing a successful promotion. Therefore, this PR gets rid of that flag completely.
When the cluster is running with 0 instances, there is obviously no master and it makes no sense to create any database objects inside the non-existing master. Therefore, this PR introduces an additional check for that.
recreatePods were assuming that the roles of the pods recorded when the function has stared will not change; for instance, terminated replica pods should start as replicas. Revisit that assumption by looking at the actual role of the re-spawned pods; that avoids a failover if some replica has promoted to the master role while being re-spawned. In addition, if the failover from the old master was unsuccessful, we used to stop and leave the old master running on an old pod, without recording this fact anywhere. This PR makes the failover failure emit a warning, but not stop recreating the last master pod; in the worst case, the running master will be terminated, however, this case is rather unlikely one.
As a side effect, make waitForPodLabel return the pod definition it waited for, avoiding extra API calls in recreatePods and movePodFromEndOfLifeNode
This allows using S3 API in order to simplify finding all folders that are different only by a suffix, since the suffix delimiter will not occur in the suffix itself (currently being a UID).
Avoid reusing WAL S3 buckets of the older cluster with the same name as the existing one.
For the new cluster, the S3 bucket name will include a suffix that is equal to the UID of the PostgreSQL object describing the cluster. That way, the bucket name will stay the same for all members iff they correspond to the same PostgreSQL cluster object.
When "clone: uid:" key is present in the cluster manifest and the cluster is cloned from an S3 bucket (currently that happens if the endTimestamp is present in the clone description) the S3 bucket to clone from is suffixed with the -uid value.
