This API change LGTM - it is consistent with other objects that have conditions.

I would recommend splitting the change to actually set conditions to a separate PR, and have this only be the API change to support conditions.

Usually, there's also LastProbeTime unversioned.Time which is the last time a check was actually performed. See PodCondition or JobCondition.

But does LastProbeTime make sense for the types of conditions we have for replica sets? Both Ready and ReplicaFailure conditions are updated only once their status changes. See #19343 (comment) for more info on this.

That comment and further discussion doesn't convince me to have just single timestamp. Having both seems more flexible, imho.

Is the intention that this flips if any replica is not yet ready? That can happen sort of arbitrarily - why is this useful?

Yes, this will flip. Actually you got me thinking that this information already exists in the resource printer of a replica set (READY pods). I wanted to make replica sets more usable but this condition doesn't add much. Removing...

Eventually I want to surface ImagePull errors and crashlooping pods under this (or maybe a new one) Condition too.

i have been confused about the word Condition until i found this PR. I was thinking something like a predicate or cirumstance that led to something. Should we rather call it ReplicationControllerState ?

Sorry, that ship has sailed. The convention is "condition".

"State" is equally ambiguous.

"state" implies a state-machine, and this is designed to avoid a
state-machine. State-machines, as an API abstraction, are very rigid, and
have almost no room for movement. Conditions are orthogonal ideas.

We do not, however, seem to have a guideline for whether all conditions
should exist on all instances at all times, or whether they should only be
present if the logical condition is of a particular polarity (e.g. phrase
conditions as default-false and their presence implies true - "Unready" vs
"Ready".)

This is something I came across both here and in Deployment conditions with ReplicaFailure. Do we want to show it up by default to False and transition to True once we have a ReplicaFailure or do we want it to show up only on failures? Should we update api conventions about what is the right approach to authoring Conditions?

Left to my own devices I would have probably made it an implies true, but
it seems not to be. I don't have enough context on the existing Conditions

@thockin @Kargakis

Initially we started with conditions like Ready, Available, Reachable, etc. -- true always meant "known good". False would assumed by default, though we always populated the conditions.

However, most node conditions we wanted to report were problems, so "known bad" conditions were introduced. These conditions we didn't always populate. Even in this case, false could be assumed by default, however. ReplicaFailed appears to match this convention. I'm fine with it.

I assume that ReplicaFailed would be present when the controller was unable to make current state match desired state.

@Kargakis Documenting the convention would be useful.

@0xmichalis

I assume that ReplicaFailed would be present when the controller was unable to make current state match desired state.

In the first pass, ReplicaFailure will be added only once a CREATE or DELETE on a pod fails. So the answer is yes. Long-term though I would like to surface conditions like ImagePullBackOff or CrashLoopBackOff which means that the current state (rs.status.replicas) will match the desired state (rs.spec.replicas) but we will still have pod failures. This will be very useful for infant mortality detection: #18568
