🐛 Fix ClusterCacheTracker memory leak #9543

Conversation

Decouple the code that creates uncached client from the code that creates the cached client. This way, we don't start the cache until the cached client is created.

This avoids scenarios where the ClusterCacheTracker cache is started when only an uncached client is needed.

There is an existing code path, described in the original issue, where the ClusterCacheTracker cache is started when only an uncached client is needed. The cache is re-created later, and the initial cache is still running continuously in the background.

What this PR does / why we need it:

Fix the memory leak described in the issue #9542, when cluster kubeconfig is rotated frequently,

Hi @ionutbalutoiu. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

@ionutbalutoiu Sorry for the long delay. I sort of lost track of this PR a bit. Happy to quickly review again and merge once the open points are addressed

Decouple the code that creates uncached client from the code that
creates the cached client. This way, we don't start the cache until
the cached client is created.

This avoids scenarios where the `ClusterCacheTracker` cache is started
when only an uncached client is needed.

is needed. The cache is re-created later, and the initial cache is
still running continuously in the background.
