Add ability to enable/disable the SDK (#26) #119

Added the ability to enable/disable the SDK upon configuration. This prevents application unit tests that originally relied on segments to be generated to no longer throw SegmentNotFound exceptions if a unit test tests a method that relies on a previously generated Segment.

Issue #, if available:
#26

Description of changes:

  • Added SDKConfig to hold SDK-wide configuration information. In our case, whether it's enabled/disabled is kept track of. This is used by the Patcher, Recorder, and the Lambda Context to change behaviors if it's disabled.
  • For the case of the Patcher, patching does not patch any methods.
  • For the Recorder, all segment creation automatically creates DummySegments and therefore not send Segments and subsequent Subsegments to the Daemon. Using DummySegments ensures that downstream methods calls on the segment/subsegment entities don't throw exceptions.
  • To deal with the Capture decorator, a Dummy parent segment is automatically generated to mimic middleware segment generation.

Testing

  • Core Patcher module should not import modules when SDK is disabled
  • Each specific middleware (Flask, Django, Aiohttp) is tested to ensure that they produce DummySegments and dont send anything to the emitter.
  • Recorder should produce DummySegments and DummySubsegments
  • SDKConfig should take Environment Variables over hardcoded configuration.

* Disabling the SDK does the following:
    + Ext module patch methods no longer patch.
    + Any call to BeginSegment() automatically generates a DummySegment instead and will not be sent
      to the Daemon, and consequently, since DummySegments are generated, any generated subsegments
      automatically become DummySubsegments.
    + For Lambda, when Subsegments are created, they automatically are converted to DummySubsegments
* Disabling/Enabling is done through the configure() method of the recorder. It may also be set through
  an environment variable "AWS_XRAY_ENABLED".

Default sampler code also need to be changed so it becomes no-op if the SDK is disabled. Right now the middleware code still trigger sampling decisions which creates extra pollers.

Revision 2

Changes:
    - SDKConfig now built on top of recorder. SDK-level configuration should all be done
      through SDKConfig.
    - Renamed the SDK Enable environment variable to AWS_XRAY_SDK_ENABLED
    - Disabling the SDK now causes LambdaContext to set sampling decision of facade segment to False.
      Previously, it would force all subsegments to be generated as dummy subsegments.
    - SDKConfig.set_sdk_enabled(value) method defaults to True and throws an exception
      if value is not of type boolean.

Third revision added:

Changes:

  • Removed enable flag from recorder. Now it checks the global SDK configuration to determine if the SDK is disabled.
  • Global SDK configuration no longer modifies the recorder.
  • Tests modified to reflect changes.

Revision 3

Changes:
        - Removed enable flag from recorder. Now it checks the
        global SDK configuration to determine if the SDK is disabled.
        Global SDK configuration no longer modifies the recorder.
        - Tests modified to reflect change.

Revision 4

Changes:
        - Refactored multiple modules; instead of import aws_xray_sdk to get the global_sdk_config,
        direct import using from... import.
        - Removed unused XRAY_ENABLED_KEY variable from recorder. It wasn't being used.
        - Added debug log entry to the patcher to inform the customer that patching is disabled
        when the SDK is disabled.
