This PR set maxIdleConnsPerHost to 128 to let proxy handle 128 concurrent
requests in long term smoothly.
If the number of concurrent requests is bigger than this value,
proxy needs to create one new connection when handling each request in
the delta, which is bad because the creation consumes resource and may
eat up your ephemeral port.
This is a simple solution to having the proxy keep up to date with the
state of the cluster. Basically, it uses the cluster configuration
provided at start up (i.e. with `-initial-cluster-state`) to determine
where to reach peer(s) in the cluster, and then it will periodically hit
the `/members` endpoint of those peer(s) (using the same mechanism that
`-cluster-state=existing` does to initialise) to update the set of valid
client URLs to proxy to.
This does not address discovery (#1376), and it would probably be better
to update the set of proxyURLs dynamically whenever we fetch the new
state of the cluster; but it needs a bit more thinking to have this done
in a clean way with the proxy interface.
Example in Procfile works again.
The ReverseProxy code from the standard library doesn't actually
give us the control that we want. Pull it down and rip out what
we don't need, adding tests in the process.
All available endpoints are attempted when proxying a request. If a
proxied request fails, the upstream will be considered unavailable
for 5s and no more requests will be proxied to it. After the 5s is
up, the endpoint will be put back to rotation.
