Describe the Problem

  1. Noobaa admission webhook rejects changes to endpoint for namespace stores. Now with the new connection CLI, we should allow these changes.
  2. The validations are currently only for namespace stores. Same should be applicable for backing stores.

Explain the changes

  1. Add validations for endpoint change to backingstores and allow changes to endpoint on presence of noobaa pause annotation.
  2. Allow changes to namespace store endpoint on presence of noobaa pause annotation (true).
  3. We are returning error if the old spec is empty

Issues: Fixed #xxx / Gap #xxx

Testing Instructions:

  • Doc added/updated
  • Tests added

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Validation
    • Backing store endpoint changes are checked before other update validations.
    • Changes to S3-compatible and IBM COS endpoints are restricted to the connection CLI unless reconciliation is paused.
    • Equivalent endpoint formats continue to be accepted; differing endpoints are rejected.
    • Namespace store endpoint changes follow the same pause-reconciliation behavior.
    • AWS S3 endpoint changes remain permitted.
    • Invalid or incomplete endpoint update data is now rejected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Backing store updates now validate endpoint changes before other update checks. S3-compatible and IBM-Cos stores support pause-reconcile bypasses. Namespace store validation uses the same bypass behavior. New tests cover endpoint, bucket, scaling, and field validation.

Changes

Endpoint validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backing store endpoint validation
pkg/validations/backingstore_validations.go, pkg/admission/validate_backingstore.go
Adds ValidateBSEndpointChange for S3-compatible and IBM-Cos endpoint changes. Backing store admission invokes this check before other update validation.
Namespace store endpoint validation
pkg/validations/namespacestore_validations.go, pkg/admission/validate_namespacestore.go
Adds pause-reconcile bypass handling, rejects missing old specifications, and runs namespace store validation before endpoint validation.
Validation behavior coverage
pkg/backingstore/validation_test.go, pkg/namespacestore/validation_test.go
Adds coverage for backing store fields, endpoint changes, target buckets, PVPool scaling, nil old specifications, and pause-reconcile behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5a554

Paused reconciliation now permits namespace-store endpoint updates, enabling the connection CLI workflow. Merge readiness has low residual risk because annotation access must remain limited to the intended update path.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Prevent a panic before backing-store shape validation.

ValidateUpdateBS calls this function before ValidateBackingStore. These dereferences panic when the new object declares s3-compatible or ibm-cos without its matching spec. They also panic when an update changes from another store type, because the matching spec in oldBs is nil.

Validate the required new and old type-specific specs before comparing endpoints. Add regression cases for malformed updates and type transitions.

Also applies to: 84-84

@karthikps97, it is only partly resolved.

ValidateUpdateBS now calls ValidateBackingStore first. This prevents the panic for a malformed new S3-compatible or IBM COS backing store.

The type-transition case remains. If an update changes a backing store from another type to s3-compatible, Line 75 dereferences oldBs.Spec.S3Compatible even though it can be nil. The IBM COS path has the same condition.

The current tests do not cover these transitions. The review should remain open for that remaining case.

Learning: In the NooBaa operator, `pkg/validations/namespacestore_validations.go` treats the `constants.PauseReconcile: "true"` annotation as the intended capability marker for NamespaceStore endpoint changes made through the connection CLI. The connection CLI performs updates on behalf of the user, and this validation path does not require independent caller-identity authorization.

@karthikps97 Add a test case for this:
Type transition (e.g. old aws-s3 → new s3-compatible with endpoint change) — should return validation error, not panic

IMO type transition should be handled as a separate validation since this function is specifically for checking endpoint change for same type.

We would still have a scenario where a change in store type + endpoint would return nil eventhough there was change in endpoint.

This can be prevented by adding a validation to prevent change to store type. At least in the scope of this function, we can return an error if the old spec is nil
