// 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 completelly 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.

// annBindCompleted annotation applies to PVCs. It indicates that the lifecycle
// of the PVC has passed through the initial setup. This information changes how
// we interpret some observations of the state of the objects. Value of this
// annotation does not matter.
const annBindCompleted = "pv.kubernetes.io/bind-completed"

// annBoundByController annotation applies to PVs and PVCs.  It indicates that
// the binding (PV->PVC or PVC->PV) was installed by the controller.  The
// absence of this annotation means the binding was done by the user (i.e.
// pre-bound). Value of this annotation does not matter.
const annBoundByController = "pv.kubernetes.io/bound-by-controller"

// provisioning to choose a particular storage class (aka profile).
// Value of this annotation should be empty.

// This annotation is added to a PV that has been dynamically provisioned by
// Kubernetes. Its value is name of volume plugin that created the volume.
// It serves both user (to show where a PV comes from) and Kubernetes (to
// recognize dynamically provisioned PVs in its decisions).
