// ==================================================================
//
// This controller is intentionally written in a very verbose style. You will
// notice:
//
// 1. Every 'if' statement has a matching 'else' (exception: simple error
//    checks for a client API call)
// 2. Things that may seem obvious are commented explicitly
//
// We call this style 'space shuttle style'. Space shuttle style is meant to
// ensure that every branch and condition is considered and accounted for -
// the same way code is written at NASA for applications like the space
// shuttle.
//
// Originally, the work of this controller was split amongst three
// controllers. This controller is the result a large effort to simplify the
// PV subsystem. During that effort, it became clear that we needed to ensure
// that every single condition was handled and accounted for in the code, even
// if it resulted in no-op code branches.
//
// As a result, the controller code may seem overly verbose, commented, and
// 'branchy'. However, a large amount of business knowledge and context is
// recorded here in order to ensure that future maintainers can correctly
// reason through the complexities of the binding behavior. For that reason,
// changes to this file should preserve and add to the space shuttle style.
//
// ==================================================================

// ==================================================================

// Design:
//
// The fundamental key to this design is the bi-directional "pointer" between
// PersistentVolumes (PVs) and PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs), which is
// represented here as pvc.Spec.VolumeName and pv.Spec.ClaimRef. The bi-
// directionality is complicated to manage in a transactionless system, but
// without it we can't ensure sane behavior in the face of different forms of
// trouble. For example, a rogue HA controller instance could end up racing
// and making multiple bindings that are indistinguishable, resulting in
// potential data loss.
//
// This controller is designed to work in active-passive high availability
// mode. It *could* work also in active-active HA mode, all the object
// transitions are designed to cope with this, however performance could be
// lower as these two active controllers will step on each other toes
// frequently.
//
// This controller supports pre-bound (by the creator) objects in both
// directions: a PVC that wants a specific PV or a PV that is reserved for a
// specific PVC.
//
// The binding is two-step process. PV.Spec.ClaimRef is modified first and
// PVC.Spec.VolumeName second. At any point of this transaction, the PV or PVC
// can be modified by user or other controller or completely deleted. Also,
// two (or more) controllers may try to bind different volumes to different
// claims at the same time. The controller must recover from any conflicts
// that may arise from these conditions.
