It would be great to get this merged. Thanks @yoannrt |
|
Thanks, can you please add test cases (default behavior leads to missing storage size, if size provided it renders the claim template, if disabled, emptyDir is used, etc.)? |
|
Hi @sgissi, ok done. Please let me know if you see something that is missing, thanks. |

Looks good! Just one previous test case that needs an update on wording. This will be merged ahead of the next major release.

🌐 Web query:
Kubernetes StatefulSet spec forbidden fields volumeClaimTemplates update validation official documentation
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes, the volumeClaimTemplates field of a StatefulSet is immutable after the object is created [1][2]. Attempts to modify this field in an existing StatefulSet will trigger a validation error, typically resulting in a message such as: "Forbidden: updates to statefulset spec for fields other than 'replicas', 'template', 'updateStrategy', 'persistentVolumeClaimRetentionPolicy' and 'minReadySeconds' are forbidden" [2][3]. Key points regarding this validation: 1. Immutability: The volumeClaimTemplates are fixed at the time of the StatefulSet's creation to ensure that the persistent identities of the pods and their associated storage are maintained [2]. The API server prevents in-place updates to this field [1][2]. 2. Validation Mechanism: Historically, this has been enforced through imperative validation logic in the Kubernetes API server [4]. Recent changes have moved toward declarative validation (using +k8s:immutable markers) to enforce these constraints consistently across API versions [1]. 3. Handling Changes: Because the field is immutable, the standard procedure for changing a volume claim template is to delete the StatefulSet and recreate it [2]. To preserve existing data (PVCs and Pods), users typically perform this deletion using the --cascade=orphan flag [2]. This leaves the underlying PVCs intact, allowing the new StatefulSet to re-adopt the existing volumes [2]. 4. Future Outlook: While there has been ongoing discussion and community effort (e.g., KEP-4650) to potentially introduce support for updating volume claim templates in the future, these proposals focus on addressing the significant technical challenges—such as race conditions and synchronization failures—inherent in modifying storage definitions for stateful applications [5]. As of September 2026, the field remains immutable in stable releases [1][2].

Handle the StatefulSet upgrade path before changing volumeClaimTemplates.
When .Values.replica.persistence.enabled changes for an existing release, the chart changes spec.volumeClaimTemplates between one template and none. Kubernetes rejects this StatefulSet update, so Helm cannot switch between PVC storage and emptyDir.
Add a migration or replacement path, or explicitly require controlled StatefulSet recreation. Add an upgrade test for an existing PVC-backed release.

Changing an existing replicated release from persistent storage to replica.persistence.enabled=false removes spec.volumeClaimTemplates. Kubernetes forbids that StatefulSet update, so a normal Helm upgrade is rejected and operators cannot apply the new setting without recreating the StatefulSet. Provide a safe replacement or migration workflow, or prevent and clearly document this transition before merging.
Artifacts
- Read-only script renders the PR parent and PR commit with the persistence transition and prints comparable StatefulSet shapes, ending with the observed transition.
Before disabled-persistence render
- Executed the validation script against the parent commit with replica persistence disabled; Helm returned exit 1 because that configuration was rejected before the change.
Persistent-to-ephemeral transition
- Executed the validation script against the PR commit; the installed shape has volumeClaimTemplates and the disabled-persistence upgrade shape omits it and uses emptyDir, proving the incompatible desired update.
- Captured official Kubernetes v1.35.3 validation source showing volumeClaimTemplates is immutable and the exact StatefulSet spec update allowlist, establishing that the rendered removal is forbidden.
- Executed a commit-scoped changed-path and migration-hook search; no migration or StatefulSet replacement mechanism was added, while the only resource-policy match is the unrelated standalone PVC template.

Not sure if a note about disabling RDB snapshots is the best option. Please let me know if you think it's best to set save "" in the init_config automatically.
