After moving to the flags package for command line argument parsing NFD
accepts command line arguments (flags) starting with a single dash (e.g.
-no-publish in addition to --no-publish). Even if double-dash can be
used the single-dash version is printed e.g. in the usage string (from
-h, -help) so align documentation with that.
There are cases when the only available metadata for discovering
features is the node's name. The "nodename" rule extends the custom
source and matches when the node's name matches one of the given
nodename regexp patterns.
It is also possible now to set an optional "value" on custom rules,
which overrides the default "true" label value in case the rule matches.
In order to allow more dynamic configurations without having to modify
the complete worker configuration, custom rules are additionally read
from a "custom.d" directory now. Typically that directory will be filled
by mounting one or more ConfigMaps.

Changes the behaviour so that if the specified configuration file exists
it must be valid. Error out at startup if the config is invalid.
Similarly, exit with an error at runtime if the config file becomes
invalid. Bailing out, instead of just printing an error, was a
deliberate choice in order to make configuration mistakes evident.
Having no configuration file is tolerated, however. If the specified
configuration file does not exists nfd-worker resorts to default
settings.
Add a config file option for controlling the enabled feature sources,
aimed at replacing the --sources command line flag which is now marked
as deprecated. The command line flag takes precedence over the config
file option.
Add a config file option for label whitelisting. Deprecate the
--label-whitelist command line flag. Note that the command line flag has
higher priority than the config file option.
Add a new config file option for (dynamically) controlling the sleep
interval. At the same time, deprecate the --sleep-interval command line
flag. The command line flag takes precedence over the config file option.
Allows dynamic (re-)configuration of most nfd-worker options. The goal
is to have most configuration parameters specified in the configuration
file and deprecate most of the command line flags. The priority is
intended to be such that command line flags override whatever is
specified in the configuration file. Thus, specifying something on the
command line effectively disables dynamic configurability of that
parameter.
This patch adds core.noPublish config file option to demonstrate how the
new mechanism is supposed to work. The --no-publish command line flag
takes precedence over this config file option.
This commit proposes to add github user adrianchiris (me)
as reviewer to NFD.
I have been involved in several contributions to the project
as well as participation in code reviews and issues.
So, i propose to formalize this in the projects OWNERs file

Always do re-discovery and re-labeling after a configuration file
change. his way the new config comes into effect immediately, even if
the sleep interval is long (or infinite) # Please enter the commit

Add support for detecting configuration file changes via file system
notifications (fsnotify). Watches are added for the whole directory
chain (up to root directory) so that all changes (even directory
renames) affecting the given configuration file path are captured.
Previously dynamic (re-)configuration of nfd-worker was implemented by
(re-)reading the configuration file on every labeling pass. This was
simple and effective, even if a bit wasteful. However, it didn't provide
asynchronous configuration updates that will be required for e.g.
controlling the "sleep-interval" parameter dynamically which will be
implemented by later patches.
