Commit d1c172de inadvertently changes the
“/2/instances/[instance_name]/replace-disks” resource to use body
parameters. There were no QA tests and the issue wasn't noticed.

This patch re-introduces support for query parameters and adds a QA
test.

* devel-2.4:
  rpc: Disable HTTP client pool and reduce memory consumption
  Fix assertion error on unclean master shutdown

Signed-off-by: Michael Hanselmann <hansmi@google.com>
Reviewed-by: Iustin Pop <iustin@google.com>

We noticed that “ganeti-masterd” can use large amounts of memory,
especially on large clusters. Measurements showed a single PycURL client
using about 500 kB of heap memory (the actual usage depends on versions,
build options and settings).

The RPC client uses a per-thread HTTP client pool with one client per
node. At this time there are 41 non-main threads (25 for the job queue
and 16 for client requests). This means the HTTP client pools use a lot
of memory (ca. 200 MB for 10 nodes, ca. 1 GB for 50 nodes).

This patch disables the per-thread HTTP client pool. No cleanup of
unused code is done. That will be done in the master branch only.

If a cluster has any non-master-candidate nodes, those don't contain all
files (e.g. config.data). With commit aef59ae7 (March 31st, 2011)
the logic was changed and subsequently verifying a cluster with non-mc
nodes would complain.

This patch fixes this issue by changing the algorithm. It also adds an
additional check for files which shouldn't exist on a machine. A newly
added unittest is included.

Commit 64c7b383 changed the RPC call for verifying SSH connections.
Unfortunately this case in adding nodes was missed.

Signed-off-by: Michael Hanselmann <hansmi@google.com>
Reviewed-by: Iustin Pop <iustin@google.com>

When verifying a group the code would always check SSH to all nodes in
the same group, as well as the first node for every other group. On big
clusters this can cause issues since many nodes will try to connect to
the first node of another group at the same time. This patch changes the
algorithm to choose a different node every time.

A unittest for the selection algorithm is included.

In the case we submit many pending jobs (> 100) to the masterd, the
JobExecutor 'spams' the master daemon with status requests for the
status of all the jobs, even though in the end it will only choose a
single job for polling.

This is very sub-optimal, because when the master is busy processing
small/fast jobs, this query forces reading all the jobs from
this. Restricting the 'window' of jobs that we query from the entire
set to a smaller subset makes a huge difference (masterd only, 0s
delay jobs, all jobs to tmpfs thus no I/O involved):

- submitting/waiting for 500 jobs:
  - before: ~21 s
  - after:   ~5 s
- submitting/waiting for 1K jobs:
  - before: ~76 s
  - after:   ~8 s

This is with a batch of 25 jobs. With a batch of 50 jobs, it goes from
8s to 12s. I think that choosing the 'best' job for nice output only
matters with a small number of jobs, and that for more than that
people will not actually watch the jobs. So changing from 'perfect
job' to 'best job in the first 25' should be OK.

Note that most jobs won't execute as fast as 0 delay, but this is
still a good improvement.

The change to enforce boolean results for cluster verify group opcode
missed the HooksCallBack, which uses a very ugly 1/0
logic. Furthermore, the logic is wrong, since it unconditionally
resets the verify result to true.

The patch is changed to simply treat hook failures as failures, and do
nothing for offline/nodes.
