Also removes the previously added alarm for request timeout.
There are situations where having a short request timeout and a long
health check interval make sense, so we don't want to alarm the user
for those situations. Instead, we automatically attempt to set a
reasonable `resume_interval` value.
Fixes https://emqx.atlassian.net/browse/EMQX-9099
The default value for `request_timeout` is 15 seconds, and the default
resume interval is also 15 seconds (the health check timeout, if
`resume_interval` is not explicitly given). This means that, in
practice, if a buffer worker ever gets into the blocked state, then
almost all requests will timeout.
Proposed improvement:
- `request_timeout` should by default be twice as much as
health_check_interval.
- Emit a alarm if `request_timeout` is not greater than
`health_check_interval`.
some telemetry events from wolff are discarded:
* dropped:
this is double counted in wolff,
we now only subscribe to the dropped_queue_full event
* retried_failed:
it has different meanings in wolff,
in wolff, it means it's the 2nd (or onward) produce attempt
in EMQX, it means it's eventually failed after some retries
* retried_success
since we are going to handle the success counters in callbac
this having this reported from wolff will only make things
harder to understand
* failed
wolff never fails (unelss drop which is a different counter)
With this, we avoid performing work or replying to callers that are no
longer waiting on a result.
Also introduces two new counters:
- `dropped.expired` :: happens when a request expires before being
sent downstream
- `late_reply` :: when a response is receive from downstream, but the
caller is no longer for a reply because the request has expired, and
the caller might even have retried it.
This makes the buffer/resource workers always use `replayq` for
queuing, along with collecting multiple requests in a single call.
This is done to avoid long message queues for the buffer workers and
rely on `replayq`'s capabilities of offloading to disk and detecting
overflow.
Also, this deprecates the `enable_batch` and `enable_queue` resource
creation options, as: i) queuing is now always enables; ii) batch_size
> 1 <=> batch_enabled. The corresponding metric
`dropped.queue_not_enabled` is dropped, along with `batching`. The
batching is too ephemeral, especially considering a default batch time
of 20 ms, and is not shown in the dashboard, so it was removed.
