Refactor docker watcher to fix flaky test and other small issues #21851

jsoriano · 2020-10-15T12:52:57Z

What does this PR do?

Refactor docker watcher to fix some small issues and improve testability:

Actually release resources of previous connections when reconnecting.
Watcher uses a clock that can be mocked in tests for time-sensitive functionality.
Use nanoseconds-precision from events timestamps, this is important to avoid duplicated events on reconnection.
Fix logger initialization (it was being initialized as docker.docker).
Refactor test helpers to have more control on test watcher when needed.
Some other code refactors.

Why is it important?

Fixes flaky test [Libbeat] Flaky TestWatcherDie test #7906.
Watch loop relied on deferred calls to do cleanups, but the watch loop never finished, so resources associated to each reconnection were never released. On reconnections caused by not receiving events, previous connections were not being closed, so several connections were kept alive, but all except the last one were ignored.
Fix duplication of events on reconnections. Each reconnection asks for events since last received events, using seconds granularity made each reconnection to retrieve again the events happened during the second the last event was received, including the event itself. API supports nanosecond granularity, that avoids this problem.

Not sure if this reconnection is needed, leaving it just in case, I guess this is to handle connections being stalled for some reason.
