[PR] ARTEMIS-6004 Add clientFailoverAdvertisingEnabled configuration to not send failover server list info to AMQP clients [artemis]

KalCramer opened a new pull request, #6614:
URL: https://github.com/apache/artemis/pull/6614

   ## Description
   
   Add a `clientFailoverAdvertisingEnabled` connector property to control whether a backup connector is advertised to clients as part of the AMQP failover topology.
   
   Currently, Artemis can advertise the backup connector from the broker's internal cluster topology to AMQP clients. This can cause clients using different internal and external DNS names or ports to receive an unreachable failover endpoint.
   
   For example, an external Qpid JMS client may initially connect using:
   
   ```text
   amqp://primary.example.com:5672
   ```
   
   but receive the internal backup connector from the broker topology:
   
   ```text
   amqp://backup.internal:61616
   ```
   
   The client can then attempt to use the advertised endpoint instead of the endpoint configured by the client.
   
   This is the scenario described in [ARTEMIS-6004](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-6004).
   
   ### Changes
   
   - Add the `clientFailoverAdvertisingEnabled` connector property.
   - Default the property to `true` to preserve existing behavior.
   - When set to `false`, the backup connector is not included in the AMQP failover information advertised to clients.
   - The connector remains available for internal broker/cluster use; this change only controls client failover advertisement.
   - Add unit tests covering:
     - failover advertising enabled
     - failover advertising disabled
     - default behavior
     - SSL-enabled failover URIs
   
   ### Testing
   
   The change was tested with a Java Qpid JMS client using an Artemis HA live/backup configuration where the broker's internal cluster topology uses different hostnames/ports from those exposed to external clients.
   
   With:
   
   ```text
   clientFailoverAdvertisingEnabled=false
   ```
   
   the broker no longer advertises the internal backup connector to the AMQP client.
   
   As a result, external clients **no longer need to configure**:
   
   ```text
   failover.amqpOpenServerListAction=IGNORE
   ```
   
   to prevent Qpid JMS from replacing their configured failover endpoints with the broker-provided topology.
   
   This provides a broker-side solution for clients that cannot be configured with `failover.amqpOpenServerListAction=IGNORE`.

   @ViliusS  Yeah, this seems like it would be a much larger change. My original implementation was primarily intended to address the specific failure scenario described in the ticket, where an internally advertised connector is not reachable by the external client.
   
   It sounds like the broader solution is to have a separate client-facing TransportConfiguration from the connector used for internal cluster communication, and have that information carried through topology so it can be consumed by Core and other protocols. That would require changes much deeper in the topology path, including core messages such as NodeAnnounceMessage, rather than just filtering the existing failover connector like I am doing now.
   
   If that is the intended direction for ARTEMIS-6004, I think that would be a significantly larger change and likely better handled as a separate MR at this point, with this change serving only as a targeted fix for the specific failure case.
   
   If you don't consider the current approach a reasonable interim fix, I'm happy to close this MR.

Review Comment:
   Thanks, that makes sense. My manual testing did not seem to need this but I'll add for completeness.
   
   I've added the property to `ALLOWABLE_CONNECTOR_KEYS` and added a regression test in `ConnectorTransportConfigurationParserURITest` to verify that `clientFailoverAdvertisingEnabled=false` is parsed from the connector URI into the `TransportConfiguration` params.

Review Comment:
   Currently this fix is specific for AMQP. I could see making this naming AMQP specific if that make it more obvious for now. No matter what there won't be a single spot for all protocols unless an abstraction is specifically made for this but I don't think this is something all protocols support so I wouldn't think that makes sense but let me know if that would stop this getting merged. Core might be only other protocol that I know of that might use this but I could be wrong.

Review Comment:
   Adding this here seems off if you intend as you've said above for this to be a more generic option applicable to other protocols besides AMQP.  Having to copy this code block around for any other implementation that needs it is sub optimal and likely error prone.  Seems as though this code should live elsewhere so that it can be called here or in other protocols implementations to check if the connector is to be advertised.

   I'll wait to see if I can get some feedback on this MR if possible. I'll have limited access for the next week. There would need to be more discussion on a design before tackling another approach since it's very open ended right now. I may be able to look into an initial design and refine on Jira if I'm told this is not good and needs to be closed, but would need to get specific requirements. I do think that this MR does resolve a problem that I have seen and I wanted to provide a solution in the meantime.

   Looking purely from the perspective of what I was implying in ARTEMIS-6004, your description is correct. I was thinking the same way, about some kind of separate "topology configuration" option which would define full topology and would cover other issues described in the ticket.
   
   As for this pull request, I'm not against it. I'm not on Artemis team, and I don't have enough knowledge about Artemis codebase, so in the end it's up to them to decide if this interim fix is reasonable. I just wanted to clearly indicate that this doesn't cover the ticket fully. Maybe the ticket can be split per use case? I'm not sure what is the best approach here.
