Based on Streaming engine global config which is pulled periodically, switch the type to worker harness to use. This is to switch between directpath (FanOutStreamingEngineWorkerHarness) and cloudpath (SingleSourceWorkerHarness) connectivity type.

Summary of Changes

Hello @parveensania, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

I've implemented a significant enhancement to the streaming engine worker, allowing it to dynamically adapt its operational mode based on job settings. Specifically, the worker can now switch between 'directpath' and 'cloudpath' connectivity types by changing the underlying worker harness (FanOutStreamingEngineWorkerHarness or SingleSourceWorkerHarness). This change is driven by a periodically updated global configuration, ensuring that the worker can optimize its connectivity without requiring a restart. This provides greater flexibility and efficiency in how streaming jobs connect to the backend services.

Highlights

  • Dynamic Worker Harness Switching: I've implemented the capability for the streaming engine worker harness to dynamically switch between FanOutStreamingEngineWorkerHarness (for directpath connectivity) and SingleSourceWorkerHarness (for cloudpath connectivity). This switch is driven by the ConnectivityType specified in the periodically pulled streaming engine global configuration.
  • Refactoring of StreamingDataflowWorker: I've refactored the StreamingDataflowWorker class to manage the StreamingWorkerHarness using an AtomicReference. This change, along with the introduction of new private helper methods (createFanOutStreamingEngineWorkerHarness, createSingleSourceWorkerHarness, and switchStreamingWorkerHarness), centralizes and encapsulates the logic for creating and switching between different worker harness types.
  • Global Configuration Observation: A new mechanism has been added to register a configuration observer with the configFetcher.getGlobalConfigHandle(). This allows the worker to react to real-time changes in the streamingGlobalConfig, specifically the userWorkerJobSettings().getConnectivityType(), enabling on-the-fly harness adjustments.
  • Improved SingleSourceWorkerHarness Shutdown: I've improved the SingleSourceWorkerHarness by ensuring that its getWorkStream is explicitly shut down when the shutdown() method is called. This prevents potential resource leaks and ensures proper cleanup of gRPC streams.
  • Dynamic Channel Cache Update in Status Pages: The StreamingWorkerStatusPages class now includes a public method, updateChannelCache, which allows its channelCache field to be updated dynamically. This is crucial for maintaining correct status reporting when the underlying connectivity or channels change.
  • New ConnectivityType Enum: I've introduced a new ConnectivityType enum (DEFAULT, CLOUDPATH, DIRECTPATH) within windmill.proto. This enum provides a clear and standardized way to define the desired connectivity mode for the user worker, which is then used by the streaming engine to dictate harness behavior.

Thanks, taking a look

Add a info log saying switching from connectivityType X to Y.

will this block? Blocking here will block the config callback thread and future config callbacks.

The shutdown seems like it will block, can we move this callback to a separate single threaded executor?

resetting these here won't update the references inside statusPages. Can we update the references in statusPages too?
