Watch annotations set by the PodRemediator, in order to allow it to
delete a galera PVC with local storage, in case it's been created
on a worker node that became unhealthy, preventing the galera
replica to be rescheduled elsewhere until the PVC gets deleted.

The remediation of galera pod happens strictly sequentially, which
guarantees that no more than one PVC can be deleted automatically
by the PodRemediator. A remediation is considered finished when
its associated pod has restarted, and its local galera has reconnected
to the galera cluster and finished syncing.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Galera detects pods with stuck local storage and reports their availability, location, reason, and remediation status.
    • Storage recovery is coordinated one pod at a time per cluster, with deletion consent granted only for eligible stuck storage.
    • Remediation status clears after a pod rejoins the cluster and is ready.
    • Bootstrap selection excludes unavailable pods, and PVC changes trigger reconciliation.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on pod recovery, required setup, and remediation scenarios.

The change adds Galera status for unavailable pods and implements PVC-stuck pod remediation. The controller tracks affected pods, grants PodRemediator deletion consent, excludes unavailable pods from bootstrap selection, and clears remediation after Galera reports Primary and Synced.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 19887

If a Galera cluster is scaled down while a PVC remediation is active, the controller can lose track of it and allow a second PVC to be deleted. That breaks the intended one-PVC-at-a-time safety guarantee. The documentation also misstates what PodRemediator deletes and does not say which worker must return in the worst-case recovery. Fix the scale-down handling before merge.

Explanation

The title "Support pod remediation for unreachable local PVC" matches the main change. The PR adds PVC annotation watching, stuck-PVC detection, and serialized PodRemediator consent handling for Galera pods on unreachable nodes with local PVCs. The title is short, specific, and free of noise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states that the PR watches PodRemediator annotations to delete Galera PVCs with local storage on unhealthy worker nodes. It also explains the serial remediation guarantee and the completion criteria. These points match the changeset, which adds remediation logic, status fields, and tests.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 28.57% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 28 functions across 8 files.

Share the mysql-db claim name with the StatefulSet definition.

pvcClaimPrefix repeats the literal "mysql-db" that internal/mariadb/statefulset.go uses as the VolumeClaimTemplates name. Remediation builds PVC names from this prefix. If one value changes, the PVC lookup silently returns NotFound and remediation never starts. Define one exported constant for the claim template name. Use it in both places.

The replace directive fails the CI replace check and must be removed before merge.

The "check for replace lines in go.mod files" job fails on this directive. It points infra-operator/apis to a personal fork (github.com/antonioromito/infra-operator/apis). Wait for infra-operator PR #677 (or #654, as named in the PR description). Then pin a released pseudo-version of the upstream module. Remove the directive from go.mod and api/go.mod.

Preserve the uncached-read marker when the PVC status changes.

Reconcile declares the named return variable _err. When EnsurePVCAvailability changes UnavailablePods, the function stores the marker and returns ctrl.Result{}, nil. The defer then deletes the marker. The next reconcile can use a stale cached Galera object.

PVC annotation events can enqueue another reconcile, but the inspected event handlers do not force an uncached read. Consume the marker before the uncached read and restore it only when the reconcile fails.

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Exclude scaled-down pods from the expected bootstrap count.

If a Galera cluster scales down while a removed pod remains in UnavailablePods, CheckPVCAvailability no longer scans that pod’s ordinal and cannot clear its entry. This subtraction then makes expectedNodes smaller than the number of remaining pods with attributes. When none has SafeToBootstrap, Line 207 rejects every bootstrap attempt, leaving the cluster stopped until the stale status is removed. Clear unavailable entries for removed ordinals or count only unavailable pods within the current replica set.

Review comment at @internal/controller/galera_controller.go around lines 203 -
204:
Update the expected bootstrap count calculation so stale UnavailablePods entries
for scaled-down ordinals do not reduce the count; either remove entries for
ordinals outside the current replica set or subtract only unavailable pods
within that set. Preserve the existing behavior for unavailable pods that still
belong to the replica set and allow bootstrap to proceed when no remaining pod
has SafeToBootstrap.

Review comments at @docs/pod-remediation.md:
- Around line 230-234: Clarify the recovery requirement in the PodRemediator
explanation: recovery requires at least one other worker with its original data
to return, not merely the worker hosting the actively remediated pod. State that
the active pod remains in UnavailablePods until it rejoins and syncs and cannot
bootstrap the cluster; preserve the existing explanation of annotation removal
and reconciliation.

Review comments at @internal/controller/galera_controller.go:
- Around line 550-551: Update clearOldPodsAttributesOnScaleDown so it does not
remove an UnavailablePods entry while its PVC has active remediation consent;
block scale-down cleanup until remediation completes, or coordinate cancellation
with PodRemediator and revoke or abandon that consent before clearing the entry
and freeing the slot.

Comment thread docs/pod-remediation.md Resolved
Watch annotations set by the PodRemediator, in order to allow it to
delete a galera PVC with local storage, in case it's been created
on a worker node that became unhealthy, preventing the galera
replica to be rescheduled elsewhere until the PVC gets deleted.

The remediation of galera pod happens strictly sequentially, which
guarantees that no more than one PVC can be deleted automatically
by the PodRemediator. A remediation is considered finished when
its associated pod has restarted, and its local galera has reconnected
to the galera cluster and finished syncing.
