Travis Nielsen 026d745f8a core: set default ceph version to v18.2.2
With the release of Reef v18.2.2 we update the default
recommended version of Ceph to fix the prometheus issues
seen with v18.2.1

# Ceph cluster clean up policy
## Use case
As a rook user, I want to clean up data on the hosts after I intentionally uninstall ceph cluster, so that I can start a new cluster without having to do any manual clean up.
## Background
### Cluster deletion
If the user deletes a rook-ceph cluster and wants to start a new cluster on the same hosts, then following manual steps should be performed:
- Delete the dataDirHostPath on each host. Otherwise, stale keys and other configs will remain from the previous cluster and the new mons will fail to start.
- Clean the OSD disks from the previous cluster before starting a new one.
Read more about the manual clean up steps [here](https://github.com/rook/rook/blob/master/Documentation/Storage-Configuration/ceph-teardown.md#delete-the-data-on-hosts)
This implementation aims to automate both of these manual steps.
## Design Flow
### User confirmation
- **Important**: User confirmation is mandatory before cleaning up the data on hosts. This is important because user might have accidentally deleted the CR and in that case cleaning up the hostpath won’t recover the cluster.
- Adding these user confirmation on the ceph cluster would cause the operator to refuse running an orchestration
### How to add user confirmation
- If the user really wants to clean up the data on the cluster, then update the ceph cluster CRD with cleanupPolicy configuration like below :
```yaml
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1
kind: CephCluster
metadata:
name: rook-ceph
namespace: rook-ceph
spec:
cephVersion:
image: quay.io/ceph/ceph:v18.2.2
dataDirHostPath: /var/lib/rook
mon:
count: 3
allowMultiplePerNode: true
storage:
useAllNodes: true
useAllDevices: true
cleanupPolicy:
confirmation: yes-really-destroy-data
sanitizeDisks:
method: quick
dataSource: zero
iteration: 1
allowUninstallWithVolumes: false
```
- Updating the cluster `cleanupPolicy` with `confirmation: yes-really-destroy-data` would cause the operator to refuse running any further orchestration.
### How the Operator cleans up the cluster
- Operator starts the clean up flow only when deletionTimeStamp is present on the ceph Cluster.
- Operator checks for user confirmation (that is, `confirmation: yes-really-destroy-data`) on the ceph cluster before starting the clean up.
- Identify the nodes where ceph daemons are running.
- Wait till all the ceph daemons are destroyed on each node. This is important because deleting the data (say dataDirHostPath) before the daemons would cause the daemons to panic.
- Create a batch job that runs on each of the above nodes.
- The job performs the following action on each node based on the user confirmation:
- cleanup the cluster namespace on the dataDirHostPath. For example `/var/lib/rook/rook-ceph`
- Delete all the ceph monitor directories on the dataDirHostPath. For example `/var/lib/rook/mon-a`, `/var/lib/rook/mon-b`, etc.
- Sanitize the local disks used by OSDs on each node.
- Local disk sanitization can be further configured by the admin with following options:
- `method`: use `complete` to sanitize the entire disk and `quick` (default) to sanitize only ceph's metadata.
- `dataSource`: indicate where to get random bytes from to write on the disk. Possible choices are `zero` (default) or `random`.
Using random sources will consume entropy from the system and will take much more time then the zero source.
- `iteration`: overwrite N times instead of the default (1). Takes an integer value.
- If `allowUninstallWithVolumes` is `false` (default), then operator would wait for the PVCs to be deleted before finally deleting the cluster.
