Problem

Current preemptable behavior uses annotations/labels with default false, limiting compatibility.

Solution

Add native Preemptable *bool field to PodGroupSpec:

  • nil or true → can be preempted (for compatibility)
  • false → cannot be preempted

Changes

  • Added field to both API repos (apis/, volcano-apis/)
  • Updated scheduler logic to check field first, fall back to annotations
  • Regenerated client code

Summary of Changes

Hello @SuyashParmar, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request primarily focuses on enhancing the PodGroupSpec API by introducing a dedicated Preemptable field. This change aims to provide a more explicit and native mechanism for managing PodGroup preemption, improving clarity and compatibility over previous annotation-based methods. The core of the work involves schema modifications and the necessary regeneration of associated client and conversion code to support this new API field.

Highlights

  • API Definition Enhancement: I've introduced a new Preemptable *bool field to the PodGroupSpec in both the core API (pkg/apis/scheduling/types.go) and its v1beta1 version (pkg/apis/scheduling/v1beta1/types.go). This field provides a native way to explicitly control whether a PodGroup can be preempted, moving away from annotation-based behavior. The field's logic is designed for compatibility: nil or true means it can be preempted, while false means it cannot.
  • Client and Conversion Code Regeneration: I've updated the auto-generated deepcopy, conversion, and client apply configuration files (zz_generated.deepcopy.go, zz_generated.conversion.go, podgroupspec.go) to correctly handle the new Preemptable field. This ensures proper serialization, deserialization, deep copying, and API version conversions, maintaining compatibility and enabling client-side declarative configuration for the new field.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new Preemptable field to the PodGroupSpec API to provide a native way of controlling preemption, which is a good improvement over using annotations. The changes to the API definitions and the generated client code look mostly correct.

I've identified a significant issue with the protobuf serialization tag for the new field, which could cause interoperability problems. I've left a specific comment with a suggestion to fix it.

Additionally, the pull request description mentions that the scheduler logic was updated to use this new field, but the corresponding code changes are not included in the provided diffs. Please ensure those changes are part of this PR or a subsequent one to complete the feature.

// When nil or true, the PodGroup can be preempted for compatibility.
// When false, the PodGroup cannot be preempted.
// +optional
Preemptable *bool `json:"preemptable,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,6,opt,name=preemptable"`

high

The protobuf tag for Preemptable uses bytes, which is incorrect for a boolean type. For protobuf encoding, boolean values should be encoded as varint.

While this might appear to work in some contexts, it's semantically incorrect and can lead to compatibility and serialization issues with other standard Kubernetes tooling or future versions of protobuf.

For reference, standard Kubernetes API types use varint for *bool fields (e.g., core/v1.SecurityContext.AllowPrivilegeEscalation). Using the correct type ensures proper serialization and interoperability.

Please change bytes to varint.

Preemptable *bool `json:"preemptable,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,6,opt,name=preemptable"`
Preemptable *bool `json:"preemptable,omitempty" protobuf:"varint,6,opt,name=preemptable"`
