Short description of the changes
When looking through the documentation for the selector matching functionality, I noticed a comment about the underlying data being copied due to it being treated as potentially mutable.
We call the
GetServiceForPod
method of the cached k8s client at least twice per event when sending Honeycomb events and when creating spans in the OTEL handler. This means the same label selector values for both source and destination events are being copied a total of 4 times.This PR updates the usage of the cache to use a
ValidatedSetSelector
which implements aMatches
method that does not copy.How to verify that this has the expected result
If possible, we should run a debug build in a testing environment and compare the total RAM usage to the figures shown in the graph attached to the original issue.
