Chris Lu 8ac5133abe admin: default to port 12535, keep 23646 as a best-effort compat listener (#11816)
* admin: default to port 12535, keep 23646 as a best-effort compat listener

The default admin HTTP port 23646 derives a worker gRPC port of 33646
(port + GrpcPortOffset), inside the Linux default ephemeral range
(32768+). One of our own startup dials can claim 33646 before the admin
binds it, killing startup. This is the same failure #10209 fixed for
the test port allocator, still reachable via the mini default (#10838)
and via standalone `weed admin` defaults.

Move the default admin port to 12535 (gRPC 22535) everywhere, keeping
the http+10000 convention so worker -admin derivation, the Rust worker
and host:http.grpc addressing keep working:

- weed admin -port, weed mini -admin.port
- weed worker -admin, the plugin worker fallback, Rust worker and
  weed-lance-worker defaults
- help text, README, helm values, docker compose, tests

So old workers, bookmarks and scripts keep working, admin also serves
the same handler and the worker gRPC server on the previous default
(-port.legacy / -admin.port.legacy, default 23646, 0 disables). The
legacy gRPC port binds best-effort: it lives in the ephemeral range, so
a failed bind only warns instead of reintroducing the startup failure.
weed mini reserves it early like the primary port and keeps it out of
its own port relocation. grpc.Server tracks every listener handed to
Serve, so the compat listener stops with the primary.

Also warn when an explicitly configured admin port puts the derived
gRPC port at or above the ephemeral floor, the other fix suggested in
the issue.

Supersedes the pinned-grpc approach in #11814: pinning -admin.port.grpc
off the +10000 convention breaks external workers that derive the admin
gRPC port from the HTTP address. ClickHouse/ClickHouse#115512 pins
-admin.port on their side; this makes that pin unnecessary.

Fixes #10838

* admin: let services win the legacy ports, close compat listener on failure

Review findings on the compat listeners:

- Do not put the legacy ports in mini's reservedPorts: an explicit
  -s3.port=23646 or -master.port.grpc=33646 must be honored, not rejected
  or stolen by the early reservation. Mini now checks the finalized port
  set and skips only the conflicting compat listener, so HTTP and gRPC
  compat degrade independently and the service keeps its port.
- Also skip the legacy HTTP listener when a mini service owns the port:
  a wildcard-bound service can still leave loopback bindable, which would
  let the compat listener shadow it for loopback clients.
- Close legacyServer's raw listener in the deferred cleanup: Serve may
  not have registered it yet when startAdminServer returns early.
- Helm: add admin.legacyPort (default 23646) and expose the legacy
  http/grpc ports through the admin Service, container ports and
  NetworkPolicy so older workers resolved via the Service keep working.

* helm: only pass -port.legacy when it differs from the binary default

ct install deploys the released image with the new chart, and 4.48 does
not know -port.legacy, so the admin pod crash-loops. Omitting the flag at
the default value is behavior-identical on new binaries (their default
is also 23646) and keeps older releases installable; legacyPort: 0 or a
custom port still renders the flag.

# SeaweedFS Rust workers
`weed/pb/plugin.proto` is a language-agnostic contract: a maintenance worker
connects out to admin, announces the job types it can detect and execute, and
answers requests on that one stream. `weed worker -admin=host:12535` is the Go
implementation of it from outside the admin process. This workspace is the Rust
one.
crates/core the contract: stream, handshake, heartbeat, registry, config forms
crates/lance maintenance jobs for Lance tables, and a binary
It also depends on `../seaweed-common`, a small crate outside this workspace
holding the few helpers the Rust volume server needs identically — the
HTTP<->gRPC address rule and the rustls provider choice.
`core` knows nothing about any job. A second worker is a new crate beside
`lance` that depends on it, not a fork of the protocol.
## Building
Requires Rust 1.94.1+ (2024 edition), matching `rust-version` in `Cargo.toml`.
The patch release matters: 1.94.0 does not build. The edition itself only needs
1.85; the higher floor comes from the dependency tree — lance's `aws` feature
pulls in the AWS SDK — so it moves with those crates. CI builds on the latest
stable.
`core` compiles `plugin.proto` with the protoc that protoc-bin-vendored ships,
the way seaweed-volume does, so it needs no system install.
The lance crates compile protos of their own, in their own build-script
processes, which nothing our build script sets can reach. They need a protoc of
their own: either one on PATH — `brew install protobuf`, `apt install
protobuf-compiler` — or `PROTOC` naming one. CI points it at the vendored
binary for the runner's platform, resolved from the version in `Cargo.lock`.
## Running
cargo run -p weed-lance-worker -- --admin 127.0.0.1:12535
The admin's *HTTP* address is what an operator has; the gRPC port is derived
from it the way the Go side does. Dialling the HTTP port fails as "frame with
invalid size", which reads like a protocol bug rather than a wrong port.
The binary is `weed-worker`, not `weed-lance-worker`: it is the Rust side of
`weed worker`, and lance is the first family of jobs it carries rather than the
only one it ever will.
Released builds do not need a toolchain. The worker ships inside the SeaweedFS
image, beside the Rust volume server, under the verb that mirrors
`volume-rust`:
docker run chrislusf/seaweedfs worker-rust --admin admin:12535
and as `weed-worker_linux_{amd64,arm64}.tar.gz` on each GitHub release. Both are
linux amd64/arm64 only — lance, arrow and datafusion make every extra target an
expensive build, and the worker runs beside the cluster it maintains. On an
architecture without a build the image carries an empty placeholder and the
entrypoint says so rather than failing as "not found".
## Metrics
cargo run -p weed-lance-worker -- --admin 127.0.0.1:12535 --metrics-port 9328
Serves `/health`, `/ready` and `/metrics` on that port, the same three the Go
worker serves under `weed worker -metricsPort`, so one scrape config covers
workers in either language. Off by default, and bound to loopback unless
`--metrics-ip` says otherwise, because the endpoint is unauthenticated. 9328
continues the series the other components use (master 9324, volume 9325, filer
9326, s3 9327); an IPv6 address works with or without brackets.
Grafana: the "Plugin Workers" row of `other/metrics/grafana_seaweedfs.json`
graphs these. Its panels filter on `$cluster`, which comes from the scrape job's
labels, so scrape the worker the way the rest of the cluster is scraped or the
row stays empty.
Names are `SeaweedFS_worker_*`, matching the Go side's convention. The pair
worth alerting on is `objects_seen_total` and `objects_skipped_total`: a sweep
that proposes nothing and a sweep that could read nothing look identical from
`proposals_total` alone.
SeaweedFS_worker_connected 1
SeaweedFS_worker_objects_seen_total{job_type="lance_compact"} 7
SeaweedFS_worker_proposals_total{job_type="lance_compact"} 2
SeaweedFS_worker_jobs_total{job_type="lance_compact",result="ok"} 2
SeaweedFS_worker_lance_fragments_removed_total 25
`/ready` follows the control stream: a worker whose admin has gone away is
running but is not going to do anything.
## Credentials
The worker holds none. It asks the namespace to describe a table with
`vend_credentials` and hands the `storage_options` that come back to lance. A
gateway without STS configured vends no credentials at all, so `--access-key`
and `--secret-key` supply a fallback; anything the namespace does vend wins over
them.
## State
All three jobs are implemented and tested end to end against a live gateway:
compaction result: 12 fragments became 1
reindex result: 512 uncovered rows became 0
cleanup result: removed 14 versions and 24272 bytes
`cargo test -p weed-lance-worker` runs them when `WEED_LANCE_NAMESPACE` names a
live namespace and skips otherwise, the way the Go integration tests skip
without Docker. Each test seeds the table it needs, including building a vector
index and then appending rows outside it, so a run does not depend on what the
previous one left behind — the first version of these did, and quietly stopped
testing anything once it had done its job.
The handshake, descriptor exchange and heartbeat work against a live admin,
which logs the worker connecting and prefetches all three descriptors.
