zdb namespace not deleted after deleting the zdb workload

[ashraffouda]

Describe the bug

this happens on zos3 and zos4.
I create a zdb workload a node then deleted the deployment but found the namespace still exists after deleting the deployment

To Reproduce

• create a zdb deployment
• on the node do ip netns
• delete the zdb deployment
• on the node do ip netns again
• you will find the zdb namespace still exists something like zdb-ns-86596a4a6be4

Expected behavior

zdb namespace should be deleted when the zdb deployment is deleted

note when I created new zdbs no more namespaces are created, the old one is used for all zdbs even for different users

The Zdbs themselves are multiuser and are created when Zos first starts up. What the user's workload represents is a Zdb namespace within the shared Zdb, which can be public or private and password protected.

So I think it's normal that there's no changes to Zdb networking when workloads are deployed/deleted, since all users access their Zdb workload over the same IPs assigned to the shared Zdb instances.

Well namespace here is ambiguous. Each zdb process have their own network namespace to get a dedicated IP address. Each zdb can have multiple namespace (eg: 1 per user).

Network namespaces are persistant and mandatory per zdb instance. ZDB namespaces are dynamically allocated.

To get a list of zdb namespaces, you can connect to the zdb and send NSLIST command.

A deployment is related to a zdb namespace, not a zdb instance AFAIK, so Scott it right for me.
