What's the use case for this method? It seems to me that this breaks separation of concerns.

The agent needs access to Remotes to update the set of managers based on the list it gets from the dispatcher.
The alternative to exposing Remotes through this method is to implement Observe, Weights, and Remove as connectionbroker methods, and that feels like it would pollute the connectionbroker method set, instead of keeping that functionality specific to Remotes.
Or we could pass the underlying Remotes into the agent separately, but I don't like that much either.

It's a little counter-intuitive to close an "unsuccessful" connection. Would it be better to move if success logic to SelectRemote.

Close won't be called when SelectRemote returns an error. The success parameter is determined later on. For example, if something tries an RPC and that RPC fails, success will be set to false when closing the connection so that a negative observation is made and future attempts will prefer a different remote.
I think Dial generally doesn't fail immediately (since Dial is an async call), but it's probably a good idea to automatically perform a negative observation if Dial returns an error. I'll add that.

Added an observation if Dial fails.

Can success be internal to Conn, like derived from operation failure on Conn?

Unfortunately not, because Conn doesn't know whether RPCs that use it fail or not.
We could split it out into a separate Observe call on Conn. But I think it's nice to have it built into Close. That way, the use of a connection has to be either successful or unsuccessful. You can't forget to call Observe (we've had bugs like this before).
If it's weird for Close to take a parameter, we could rename this to something else like CloseAndObserve.

Could this be moved to where failure is observed? If Conn cannot observe failures, maybe weight handling shouldn't be done here. How about doing it at RPC calls? When RPC fails, decrease the node's weight. On RPC success, adjust weight according to previous state (no need to increase weight on continuous success operations).

We can do that, but as I mentioned above, I think it's better this way. We had a several bugs before where certain code paths returned early and skipped adjusting the weight. If weight adjustment is part of closing the connection, it can't be skipped accidentally without leaking a connection.

Make sense. We have similar problem in class Swarm where operation failure should adjust node preference. It's hard to do that on all the calls.
This package is a small abstraction on top of Remotes that provides a gRPC connection to a manager. If running on a manager, it uses the unix socket, otherwise it will pick a remote manager using Remotes. This will allow things like agent and certificate renewal to work even on a single node with no TCP port bound. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lehmann <[email protected]>

This is a piece of #1826. The next PR will convert the CA and agent to
use connectionbroker.
