* feat(task): Allow tasks to run more isolated from other task systems
To allow the task internal system to be used for user created tasks as well
as checks, notification and other future additions we needed to take 2 actions:
1 - We need to use type as a first class citizen, meaning that task's have a type
and each system that will be creating tasks will set the task type through the api.
This is a change to the previous assumption that any user could set task types. This change
will allow us to have other service's white label the task service for their own purposes and not
have to worry about colissions between the types.
2 - We needed to allow other systems to add data specific to the problem they are trying to solve.
For this purpose adding a `metadata` field to the internal task system which should allow other systems to
use the task service.
These changes will allow us in the future to allow for the current check's and notifications implementations
to create a task with meta data instead of creating a check object and a task object in the database.
By allowing this new behavior checks, notifications, and user task's can all follow the same pattern:
Field an api request in a system specific http endpoint, use a small translation to the `TaskService` function call,
translate the results to what the api expects for this system, and return results.
* fix(task): undo additional check for ownerID because check is not ready
The http error schema has been changed to simplify the outward facing
API. The `op` and `error` attributes have been dropped because they
confused people. The `error` attribute will likely be readded in some
form in the future, but only as additional context and will not be
required or even suggested for the UI to use.
Errors are now output differently both when they are serialized to JSON
and when they are output as strings. The `op` is no longer used if it is
present. It will only appear as an optional attribute if at all. The
`message` attribute for an error is always output and it will be the
prefix for any nested error. When this is serialized to JSON, the
message is automatically flattened so a nested error such as:
influxdb.Error{
Msg: errors.New("something bad happened"),
Err: io.EOF,
}
This would be written to the message as:
something bad happened: EOF
This matches a developers expectations much more easily as most
programmers assume that wrapping an error will act as a prefix for the
inner error.
This is flattened when written out to HTTP in order to make this logic
immaterial to a frontend developer.
The code is still present and plays an important role in categorizing
the error type. On the other hand, the code will not be output as part
of the message as it commonly plays a redundant and confusing role when
humans read it. The human readable message usually gives more context
and a message like with the code acting as a prefix is generally not
desired. But, the code plays a very important role in helping to
identify categories of errors and so it is very important as part of the
return response.
This change makes it so that if an org or orgID are missing on calls to the `to` function
that the orgID is retrieved from the request context.
This is consistent with how `from` works.
* feat(task): Remove token's from task structures
We had previously removed token's from the task api but left the token in place in several locations in the stack.
Now we can cleanly remove the extra tokens.
