Description

We see this in the logs when API servers are rolled (presumably):

W0304 09:48:56.883806       1 reflector.go:340] pkg/mod/k8s.io/client-go@v0.0.0-20191202165906-e3970fe37d8a/tools/cache/reflector.go:108: watch of *v1.StackSet ended with: an error on the server ("unable to decode an event from the watch stream: context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout or context cancellation while reading body)") has prevented the request from succeeding

This currently wouldn't be catched by the previous PRs https://github.com/zalando-incubator/stackset-controller/pull/204 and https://github.com/zalando-incubator/stackset-controller/pull/203

Research direction

Start by reviewing PRs 204 and 203, then examine the reflector.go watch error shown in the logs. Determine how the controller should detect this API-server connection loss and define completion as handling this failure case without leaving the controller unaware.
