Description

Now finalizer is removed if all listed resources are not found. However, all read op is reading cache. It means some resources may not be "seen" when deleting.

Not only kubernetes resources but also data in PD may have this issue. For example, store is leak.

  • Pod is created and the store is created.
  • Instance is marked as offline.
  • Store is still not be "seen". The instance is deleting.
  • All resources are deleted.

We have to ensure all resources(k8s, PD data) are deleted. Do not depends on the cache data.

Research direction

Start by tracing how finalizers are removed and how the cache-backed read operations determine whether Kubernetes resources and PD data are present. Reproduce the offline-instance deletion sequence described in the issue, then verify that finalizer removal waits until all resources are confirmed deleted without relying on cache data.
