Summary of Changes

Hello @zhixian82, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a potential panic scenario in the KVCache controller by implementing robust nil checks. It ensures that reconciliation logic for metadata services and watcher components only proceeds when the corresponding specifications are explicitly defined, thereby enhancing the controller's stability and resilience against incomplete configurations.

Highlights

• Panic Prevention: Introduced nil pointer checks for kvCache.Spec.Metadata and kvCache.Spec.Watcher to prevent panics when these fields are not set in the KVCache specification during reconciliation.
• Conditional Reconciliation: Reconciliation of Redis services and watcher-related Kubernetes resources (ServiceAccount, Role, RoleBinding, Pod) is now conditional on the presence of Metadata and Watcher specifications, respectively.
• Code Refinement: Refactored the reconcileMetadataService function in the Vineyard backend to remove a redundant nil check, improving code clarity and efficiency.

Code Review

This pull request aims to fix a panic that occurs when watcher or metadata are not set in the KVCache spec. The changes involve adding nil-pointer checks before reconciling these components, which is the correct approach. I've identified one area where the fix is incomplete and could still result in a panic, and a minor style inconsistency. Overall, this is a good fix that improves the controller's stability.

These checks can effectively reduce panic

There're two ways, you can also check object exist or not inside the reconcile method. which makes the main workflow looks cleaner. I do not have strong opinion on this one.
