12:22:10 openstackgerrit OpenStack Proposal Bot proposed openstack/python-novaclient master: Updated from global requirements https://review.openstack.org/478083
12:24:39 jaypipes ralonsoh: did you need me for something?
12:27:09 openstackgerrit Artom Lifshitz proposed openstack/nova master: Delete disk metadata when detaching volume https://review.openstack.org/435082
12:27:10 openstackgerrit Artom Lifshitz proposed openstack/nova master: API support for tagged device attachment https://review.openstack.org/376021
12:34:42 ralonsoh jaypipes: hi, I left a comment in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/476612/
12:34:54 ralonsoh jaypipes: about the abstraction of the ovsdb access
12:38:44 jaypipes ralonsoh: ah, gotcha
12:47:44 sfinucan sdague, alex_xu
12:47:49 sfinucan Can I kill this docs? https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/api_plugins.html
12:47:51 sfinucan *doc
12:48:45 alex_xu sfinucan: yea, but probably need new doc to teach people how to add new API to the nova
12:49:00 sfinucan Well, we don't do it as plugins anymore, right?
12:49:28 sfinucan alex_xu: Is this what you're looking for? https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/api_microversion_dev.html
12:55:19 alex_xu sfinucan: yea, although it is specific to the microversion
12:56:31 sfinucan alex_xu: Is there any other way to extend the API than with a microversion now?
12:56:41 sfinucan I thought we didn't let people extend the API anymore?
12:57:11 sdague sfinucan: we don't
12:57:21 alex_xu sfinucan: yes, that doc is for the nova developer add API to the upstream
12:57:32 sdague however the api_plugins page is the only one that talks about the how you add new bits of api code
12:57:38 sfinucan Ohhh, is it now
12:57:50 sdague the microversion page is just about changing responses in existing ones
12:57:56 sfinucan OK, I won't delete it then
12:58:05 sdague it definitely needs a rewrite
12:58:07 sfinucan But I think it will need to be reworked
12:58:08 sfinucan yup
12:58:11 sfinucan I'll include a TODO
12:58:25 sdague ++
12:58:31 alex_xu yea, probably we need to mention this new route list https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/routes.py
12:58:48 sfinucan indeed
13:11:06 jaypipes bauzas, edleafe, Guest63234: will be doing my best to push revisions on the allocation requests series while on a 5-hour long sales call today. :(
13:12:42 openstackgerrit Alex Szarka proposed openstack/nova master: Refactor init_instance:resume_guests_state https://review.openstack.org/349582
13:16:00 edleafe jaypipes: ugh
13:16:07 jaypipes edleafe: yeah.
13:16:13 edleafe jaypipes: will reply to your reply on the patch
13:16:17 jaypipes edleafe: regarding that...
13:16:48 jaypipes edleafe: so like I mentioned on my comment, I actually tried that approach first and ended up having to change just as many lines eventually in the unit tests.
13:17:12 jaypipes edleafe: It really comes down to whether we want the filter scheduler driver to be the thing that claims resources or not.
13:17:39 jaypipes edleafe: or the manager class.
13:18:16 edleafe jaypipes: can you explain why we can't have chance scheduler do claims? And I also thought that we weren't going to sidetrack this for chance scheduler
13:18:21 jaypipes edleafe: my objective was to make as few changes to the filter scheduler driver class as possible.
13:18:40 edleafe jaypipes: because if there is no claim made when a compute node gets a build request, it will claim
13:18:44 jaypipes edleafe: chance scheduler doesn't know uuids.
13:19:27 jaypipes edleafe: it's more than the chance scheduler. it's a separation of concerns thing.
13:19:47 jaypipes edleafe: I'm trying to leave the filter scheduler driver doing filtering and weighing.
13:19:57 jaypipes edleafe: and have something else (the manager) do the claiming.
13:20:22 edleafe jaypipes: but let's focus on the concept I pointed out: changing method sigs to pass compute uuids instead of just getting them when the host is updated from the compute
13:20:46 edleafe IOW, the value is already there
13:21:10 jaypipes edleafe: I was changing the method signature of the *returned* value so that the manager could do the claiming and not have to do everything in _schedule()
13:21:16 mriedem artom: was it intentional to not restrict block device tags to be unique for multiple bdms on the same instance?
13:21:21 mriedem we have no unique constraint for that
13:23:17 artom mriedem, yeah
13:23:40 artom mriedem, I don't see a use case for it either, but there might be a reason for it
13:23:59 artom For instance, two disks that have the same purpose get the same tag
13:24:03 edleafe jaypipes: I'll have to look more at that part. I was focusing on the changes to HostState
13:24:26 edleafe jaypipes: I am concerned how to select a host without first making a successful claim
13:24:38 artom mriedem, there was no real argument for or against, so by default it's allowed
13:24:50 artom Same for nics
13:24:55 artom And there it makes even less sense
13:25:07 artom Unless you're going to bond two nics and want them tagged the same? I dunno
13:25:12 jaypipes edleafe: we only make the claim after the scheduler filters and weighers have all run against the host states
13:26:06 mriedem artom: pl
13:26:08 mriedem *ok
13:26:19 bhagyashri_s johnthetubaguy: Hi, waiting for some inputs.
13:26:54 artom mriedem, plus I think semantically most people wouldn't expect a tag to be unique
13:27:02 artom When you think of tag clouds and such
13:27:16 artom You're not surprised when many elements share one or more tags
13:33:53 alex_xu artom: I guess you forget to set microversion on req obj https://review.openstack.org/#/c/376021/72/nova/tests/unit/api/openstack/compute/test_attach_interfaces.py@480
13:34:46 mriedem Vek: do we expect DeprecatedAction to always issue a warning even if you don't specify the arg? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/477212/
13:35:38 artom alex_xu, did I?
13:36:01 alex_xu artom: yea, those test should against on the 2.49
13:36:02 artom alex_xu, I ran those tests locally and they all passed... because 'tag' isn't a valid parameter in anything < 2.49
13:36:06 artom Doh
13:36:26 alex_xu artom: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/376021/72/nova/tests/unit/api/openstack/compute/test_attach_interfaces.py@516 this should use self.req
13:36:30 artom alex_xu, can you leave a comment and I'll fix
13:36:37 alex_xu artom: ok
13:37:20 artom alex_xu, thanks :)
13:37:47 edleafe jaypipes: I read ahead to the other PSs in the series to understand. It appears that select_destinations will return num_instances hosts to the manager - without claiming first. Right?
13:37:54 edleafe jaypipes: That means that there aren't any backup choices to select. The big gain we were hoping to get is when there is a race and the claim fails, the scheduler can simply select the next host in the weighed list. Having the manager make the claim means we lose that.
13:38:10 openstackgerrit Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez proposed openstack/os-vif master: Use ``assert_has_calls`` to check function calls https://review.openstack.org/477469
13:39:29 alex_xu artom: done
13:45:32 mriedem artom: couple easy things to do in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/435082/
13:45:34 mriedem and then i'm +2
13:45:44 artom mriedem, sweet, thanks :)
13:46:14 artom alex_xu, I don't think we can remove those mocks though
13:46:47 artom Wait
13:46:59 artom Dammit, that's twice now I say a thing and change my mind immediately after
13:47:03 artom Sorry :(
13:47:51 alex_xu artom: no worries :)
13:59:13 openstackgerrit Chason Chan proposed openstack/nova master: switch to openstackdocstheme https://review.openstack.org/477751
14:01:38 openstackgerrit Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez proposed openstack/os-vif master: Add abstract OVSDB API https://review.openstack.org/476612
14:04:56 artom mriedem, in the interest of reducing latency, is https://review.openstack.org/#/c/435082/50/nova/tests/unit/compute/test_compute_mgr.py@2537 satisfactory to you, or do you want to remove the tag and the call assertion entirely?
14:15:25 mriedem artom: replied
14:15:32 mriedem but now i'm shutting it down
14:16:15 artom mriedem, posthumous thanks :)
14:20:53 jaypipes edleafe: I thought we needed to return the alternate selections to the conductor anyway?
14:26:29 edleafe jaypipes: we need to pick a good host, so that we know what cell the alternates must be in
14:27:20 jaypipes edleafe: right, and those alternatives can be used to perform claim retries in the manager, no?
14:28:43 edleafe jaypipes: sure, but now you've kind of defeated the whole purpose of alternatives. If the setting is for 3 retires, and you burn 2 of them before you even get to the build...
14:30:05 jaypipes edleafe: it sounds like you're pretty gung-ho to just have a giant _schedule() method just do everything.
14:30:21 jaypipes I'm trying to add some separation of concerns into the codebase.
