Address #20622 by making the robustness Kubernetes traffic generator's watches more faithful to apiserver behavior:

  • Derive watch ProgressNotify from the resource: cached resources (pods) are served by the watch cache (internal etcd watch sets ProgressNotify=true), while the uncached events resource is watched directly (ProgressNotify=false). Add a KubernetesEvents traffic profile to model the direct path. PrevKV stays set, matching the apiserver, which passes WithPrevKV() unconditionally.

  • Add non-recursive (single-key) watch coverage to the generic etcd traffic profile (EtcdPutSingleKeyWatch / EtcdSingleKeyWatch). Kubernetes does not meaningfully issue non-recursive watches to etcd, so this belongs in the generic profile rather than the Kubernetes one.

  • Add SharedStream mode modeling the events watch fan-in: one cluster-scoped client per simulated apiserver instance opens WatchesPerInstance concurrent watch substreams, all multiplexed onto a single gRPC stream. Used by the KubernetesEventsSharedStream scenario.

Hi @jbml. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a etcd-io 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.

Address etcd-io#20622 by making the robustness Kubernetes traffic generator's
watches more faithful to apiserver behavior:

- Derive watch ProgressNotify from the resource: cached resources (pods) are
  served by the watch cache (internal etcd watch sets ProgressNotify=true),
  while the uncached events resource is watched directly (ProgressNotify=false).
  Add a KubernetesEvents traffic profile to model the direct path. PrevKV stays
  set, matching the apiserver, which passes WithPrevKV() unconditionally.

- Add non-recursive (single-key) watch coverage to the generic etcd traffic
  profile (EtcdPutSingleKeyWatch / EtcdSingleKeyWatch). Kubernetes does not
  meaningfully issue non-recursive watches to etcd, so this belongs in the
  generic profile rather than the Kubernetes one.

- Add SharedStream mode modeling the events watch fan-in: one cluster-scoped
  client per simulated apiserver instance opens WatchesPerInstance concurrent
  watch substreams, all multiplexed onto a single gRPC stream. Used by the
  KubernetesEventsSharedStream scenario.
