release(aisix): chart 0.10.1 — derive terminationGracePeriodSeconds from client timeouts - #354
Conversation
The gateway drains with no deadline of its own, so terminationGracePeriodSeconds is the real cap on termination: when it expires Kubernetes sends SIGKILL and every request still in flight fails in the caller's hands. The previous 180 was not derived from anything — it was a round number that happened to cover a short drain. Derive it instead from how long a connection can stay in use after SIGTERM. The gateway never closes a pooled connection itself; it marks responses `Connection: close` and leaves the closing to the client, since a server that closes a keep-alive connection races with the client putting a request on it. A streaming response that was already sending when SIGTERM arrived has its headers on the wire, and HTTP/1.1 cannot retire a connection after that, so it runs to completion and returns to the client's pool unmarked. The client may reuse it once; that response is generated during the drain, carries `Connection: close`, and ends the chain. The bound is therefore two chained requests, each running until its own client gives up. Mainstream agent clients default to a ten-minute request timeout — Claude Code and the Anthropic SDKs, the OpenAI Python and Node SDKs — giving 2 x 600s plus the 30s preStop sleep. Document the derivation and the trade-off in the chart README, so the value can be re-derived for a deployment whose clients differ rather than being copied or trimmed blindly.

In `@charts/aisix/README.md`:
- Around line 97-100: Update charts/aisix/README.md lines 97-100 and
charts/aisix/README.md.gotmpl lines 91-94 to remove the universal 2 × 600-second
stream-duration assumption; explain that client timers have different semantics
and streams may continue beyond 600 seconds. Update charts/aisix/values.yaml
lines 253-258 consistently, documenting 1230 seconds only as Kubernetes’ total
pod-termination budget including preStopSleepSeconds, not as a client timeout or
guaranteed stream-completion window.
- Around line 97-100: Update the termination-timeout documentation and
configuration around the gateway timeout settings to explicitly state that the 2
× 600s + 30s calculation excludes client retries, or define a retry-aware bound
the gateway admits. Apply the corresponding changes in
charts/aisix/README.md.gotmpl (lines 91-94) and charts/aisix/values.yaml (lines
253-258), then regenerate charts/aisix/README.md at lines 97-100 and 334; both
README locations require only the regenerated documentation.
- Around line 87-95: Update the HTTP connection-draining documentation in
charts/aisix/README.md.gotmpl and regenerate charts/aisix/README.md. Describe
the server retiring streaming connections after the complete response, and
remove claims that closure is client-owned or that the connection returns to the
client pool unmarked; apply the same correction at both listed sites.

Two corrections to the termination section, both from review. The connection contract was described as the client owning the close. It does not: a server that sends `Connection: close` closes the connection after that response. What matters is that the client is told inside a response it is already receiving, so the close cannot race with a request being dispatched onto that connection — say that instead. The 2 x 600s figure was presented as a bound on how long a response can run. A client timeout bounds a non-streaming call, but need not bound a stream that keeps producing output: httpx, which the OpenAI Python SDK uses, measures inactivity between chunks rather than total duration. Gateway logs from a production deployment agree — every request cut at the ten-minute mark was non-streaming, and no stream was ever cut there. Present the value as a budget sized from that default, note that a response still running when it expires is cut, and say that client retries do not extend it.
Publish the grace-period default. The change is chart-only — no new image — so `version` bumps while `appVersion` stays on 0.10.0, the release this chart deploys. `aisix-cp` is untouched and stays at 0.10.0: it has no changes to publish, and the invariant that matters is that both charts carry the same `appVersion`, which they still do. That leaves the AISIX charts' `version` able to run ahead of `appVersion`, the same decoupling the EE charts already allow. Record it in AGENTS.md together with what it costs the next release: pick a `version` above the highest already published for that chart rather than one merely equal to the app version, because CR_SKIP_EXISTING drops a colliding number while the workflow still reports success.

The gateway drains with no deadline of its own, so this value is the real cap on termination. When it expires Kubernetes sends SIGKILL and every request still in flight fails in the caller's hands. The previous 180 was not derived from anything — it was a round number that happened to cover a short drain.
The number is now derived from how long a connection can still be in use after SIGTERM, which depends on client behaviour rather than on any particular workload:
Connection: close, so the client learns of the retirement in a response it is already receiving and the close that follows cannot race with a request being dispatched onto that connection. What it will not do is close a connection the client has not been told about.Connection: closeand ends the chain there.So the drain has to cover two chained requests rather than one, and the default budgets a ten-minute request for each — the timeout Claude Code, the Anthropic SDKs, and the OpenAI Python and Node SDKs all default to — plus the 30s
preStopsleep.It is a budget, not a guarantee. A client timeout reliably bounds a non-streaming call but need not bound a stream that keeps producing output, so a response still running when the grace period expires is cut. The README says so, and shows how to re-derive the value for callers with a shorter timeout.
Trade-off
The value is chosen to protect request success rate across a rolling update; the cost is that a rolling update can take longer. Raising it costs nothing while nothing is actually running that long — a pod exits as soon as its last request finishes, so the value is a ceiling rather than a duration.
Versioning note
AGENTS.md now records that a chart-only fix bumps
versionalone, so the AISIX charts'versionmay run ahead ofappVersion(the same decoupling the EE charts already allow) and the next release must take aversionabove the highest already published for that chart —CR_SKIP_EXISTINGdrops a colliding number while the workflow still reports success.Notes
