Operator setting the pods' RestartPolicy cause gitops tools to fail health checks

[sarahhenkens]

The operator starts all its server pod with the RestartPolicy set to Never. This causes ArgoCD to fail to report it as running.

kube-arangodb/pkg/util/k8sutil/pods.go

Line 433 in 13f3e2a

RestartPolicy: core.RestartPolicyNever,

Can this be changed to Always and let the pod automatically restart itself on failure?

Hello!

We do not want to allow Pod restarts, full lifecycle is managed by Operator (Operator recreate pod, takes care about shards).

It is also used in Graceful shutdowns, when we send request thru API. This logic will change (to send Delete + handle it in finalizers), but ETA is next year.

Best Regards,
Adam.
