Ramsés Morales a7a48168a0 Add golangci-lint config file and make target.
Here we add file `.golangci.yaml`, to have a common configuration for
static analysis. If you use the following IDEs/editors, they will read
the file:

- `vim` with vim-go.
- VSCode.

The initial configuration file is based on Kubernetes' HEAD. We removed
a custom kubernetes-linter for custom kubernetes-logging. We also
changed to Golang version 1.17 (etcd's current target Golang version)
from 1.18.

Also, we added a new target to `Makefile`: `lint`. NOTE that auto-fixing
should be part of a later commit, once we are all happy with how the
configuration file is working for us.

As expected, this change fixes two issues found by this `.golangci.yaml`
in file `contrib/lock/client/client.go`:

- Dead code, removed.
- Innefective assignment, removed.

Finally, we are updating `CONTRIBUTING.md` to mention `golangci-lint`.

We will add a GitHub-action to run `golangci-lint` in a future change.

Local testing done:

- `make build`.
- `make test`.

Both are happy.

This is the initial step to fix
https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/14164.

How to contribute

etcd is Apache 2.0 licensed and accepts contributions via GitHub pull requests. This document outlines some of the conventions on commit message formatting, contact points for developers, and other resources to help get contributions into etcd.

Email and chat

Getting started

  • Fork the repository on GitHub
  • Read the README.md for build instructions

Reporting bugs and creating issues

Reporting bugs is one of the best ways to contribute. However, a good bug report has some very specific qualities, so please read over our short document on reporting bugs before submitting a bug report. This document might contain links to known issues, another good reason to take a look there before reporting a bug.

Contribution flow

This is a rough outline of what a contributor's workflow looks like:

  • Create a topic branch from where to base the contribution. This is usually main.
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Make sure commit messages are in the proper format (see below).
  • Push changes in a topic branch to a personal fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to etcd-io/etcd.
  • The PR must receive a LGTM from two maintainers found in the MAINTAINERS file.

Thanks for contributing!

Code style

The coding style suggested by the Golang community is used in etcd. See the style doc for details.

Please follow this style to make etcd easy to review, maintain and develop.

Format of the commit message

We follow a rough convention for commit messages that is designed to answer two questions: what changed and why. The subject line should feature the what and the body of the commit should describe the why.

etcdserver: add grpc interceptor to log info on incoming requests

To improve debuggability of etcd v3. Added a grpc interceptor to log
info on incoming requests to etcd server. The log output includes
remote client info, request content (with value field redacted), request
handling latency, response size, etc. Uses zap logger if available,
otherwise uses capnslog.

Fixes #38

The format can be described more formally as follows:

<package>: <what changed>
<BLANK LINE>
<why this change was made>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

The first line is the subject and should be no longer than 70 characters, the second line is always blank, and other lines should be wrapped at 80 characters. This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.

Pull request across multiple files and packages

If multiple files in a package are changed in a pull request for example:

etcdserver/config.go
etcdserver/corrupt.go

At the end of the review process if multiple commits exist for a single package they should be squashed/rebased into a single commit before being merged.

etcdserver: <what changed>
[..]

If a pull request spans many packages these commits should be squashed/rebased into a single commit using message with a more generic *: prefix.

*: <what changed>
[..]

Static analysis.

We recommend that you install golangci-lint and run make lint.

Very soon we will have a GitHub action to run our linters.
