18:03:04 melwitt jaypipes: more the latter. I'm not a heat expert, maybe there's a way to tell it to keep retrying a definition
18:03:29 jaypipes melwitt: yeah, I'm not a Heat expert either.
18:17:08 cdent jaypipes, melwitt: if want to play the odds, it is more likely that a "keep retrying orchestrator" (that actually does the job well) will come into existence if we do not include bad orchestration in nova.
18:17:36 jaypipes cdent: ++
18:17:54 cdent it is also the case that the odds of "good orchestration" merging sooner (in nova) than something else trying to do it (outside of nova's constraints) are low
18:20:43 melwitt cdent: maybe. I'm not sure how many people would want to use an orchestrator-less system, but that works as long as no other viable options are available
18:21:37 cdent melwitt: Is what we have today orchestrator-less or bad-orchestrator?
18:22:25 melwitt cdent: bad-orchestrator
18:22:51 cdent as in makes a half hearted effort at retrying and then bails..., yeah?
18:23:23 melwitt yes
18:25:47 jaypipes dansmith: you were +2 previously. I'm good on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/460177/ now with bauzas' latest revision.
18:26:48 melwitt cdent: with the half hearted effort, an operators can detect a bad baremetal node and take it out of rotation without exposing end users to the fail. without it, the end user would have to suffer the failure at least once before the operator can take it out of rotation. unless the operator builds a porcelain API that maybe uses heat behind it and has end users point at that. is what I'm thinking
18:29:43 melwitt I can also see the point of, you can't serve everybody perfectly, and if it's really only 5% of people that would be affected, then I get that. we'll see what they say on the ML
18:35:38 mriedem melwitt: ok https://review.openstack.org/#/c/446239/
18:35:44 mriedem melwitt: i didn't go through tests
18:36:38 melwitt mriedem: thanks. reading through
18:38:56 mriedem i have successfully finished a 60+ ounce bag of tootsie rolls from halloween
18:39:02 mriedem it was a grind, but it's done
18:40:47 cdent my jaw hurts now
18:54:07 jaypipes melwitt: hmm, I wonder if some combination of beer and cat toys will be enough to bribe your James into my worldview...
18:55:47 mriedem jaypipes: not until you can chug a beer faster than him
18:56:04 mriedem which from fenway we know isn't going to happen without proper training with a montage
18:56:52 melwitt heh
19:02:12 melwitt mriedem: replied on quotas
19:18:09 cdent mriedem, jaypipes, melwitt, dansmith: Does the idea that was bounced around on the call of claim in the scheduler, re-claim (when things are bad) in the conductor address the issues james is pointing out? Trying to clarify my confused brain.
19:18:42 mriedem cdent: yes and is what we discussed in boston
19:19:08 mriedem super conductor passes alternate hosts to the cell; if something fails, we reschedule via conductor within the cell using those alternate hosts
19:19:10 cdent i knew that the boston plan did, but wasn't clear on if the claim from two different places idea did
19:19:20 cdent gotchya, thanks
19:19:44 mriedem claiming in two places has the same long-term functionality if we have to retry within a cell
19:20:26 mriedem i think the idea of doing claims in the scheduler AND conductor is if we do it in the scheduler, we have (a) tighter retry loop and (b) if we eventually drop reschedules in the cell, then we've already got the work done in the scheduler - as dan pointed out on the call
19:20:26 cdent I think I'm leaning that way because of the "claim as early as possible" stuff I mentioned in one of my comments
19:20:30 mriedem the short-term downside is you have duplication
19:21:01 mriedem i do'nt really see how that's not hidden in the scheduler report client though
19:21:07 cdent DRY is what breeds and deeply nested object hierarchies and that makes me cry
19:21:10 mriedem or some utility method shared between conductor and scheduler
19:21:13 cdent yes
19:22:38 cdent woot! I managed a whole 4 things off my to do list today. That's less than 4%. ossum.
19:22:54 cdent goodnight
19:23:08 mriedem melwitt: did you give up halfway?
19:23:34 melwitt mriedem: did I miss some comments? I didn't mean to
19:23:47 melwitt argh, sorry
19:27:40 larsks Howdy. I have an instance that is attached both ipv4 and ipv6 networks. The ipv4 networks show up in network_data.json on the config drive, but there is no trace of the ipv6 network. I see the same thing with a single network that has both ipv4 and ipv6 subnets...only the ipv4 information shows up. What could be causing this?
19:33:39 dansmith mriedem: I may be remembering wrong, but wasn't there a thing in the last six months or something about us not including ipv6 stuff in network.json in certain circumstances? re ^
19:33:54 fungi larsks: that's a known issue. i gather there's an open bug, mailing list thread and proposed change(s) addressing it, though i don't have references handy at the moment
19:34:40 mriedem dansmith: i vaguely remember sdague and jaypipes reviewing something in there recently, but don't know if it was for this
19:35:12 larsks fungi: thanks. do you happen to know in which release it should work right now? E.g. was this a regression in ocata or master or something?
19:35:23 larsks And would I expect it to work in release N-1?
19:35:43 mriedem https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/ccebded0cbb654be18db5b4e0e7f8b8a3a7cacdb ?
19:35:58 mriedem ^ is what i was thinking of
19:36:02 mriedem but does'nt look like the right thing
19:36:39 larsks Hmmm, I found https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1514082 which suggests this is just a configuration issue.
19:36:39 openstack Launchpad bug 1514082 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "network_data.json does not provide information about ipv6 addresses." [Undecided,Invalid]
19:38:46 fungi larsks: on another channel, clarkb pointed me to bug 1676363
19:38:46 openstack bug 1676363 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "The network metadata should be more useful" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1676363 - Assigned to Dan Peschman (dpeschman)
19:39:04 mriedem dansmith: why do we need with instance.obj_alternate_context on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/458634/12/nova/compute/api.py@1802 ?
19:39:05 fungi larsks: related ml thread starts at http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-March/114563.html
19:39:15 larsks fungi: thanks for both pointers. I like the bug title. I'm going to see if it was just a config issue.
19:40:05 dansmith mriedem: because the instance has the ctxt inside not the cctxt
19:40:42 dansmith mriedem: well, actually, maybe not there I guess
19:40:58 dansmith mriedem: might be able to remove that one I guess
19:41:05 mriedem hold up
19:41:08 mriedem still going through this
19:41:53 dansmith I need food anyway
19:43:09 mriedem this is probably tied to get_instance stashing the targeted context on the instance object
19:43:17 mriedem that's probably something that deserves a comment in the code then
19:49:12 jaypipes mriedem: and it's that "get me alternate hosts" thing that I am really against.
19:49:24 jaypipes mriedem: in the conductor that is..
19:52:09 bauzas sorry folks, was afk for dinner purposes
19:52:51 jaypipes dansmith: the diaper exception. nice.
19:53:36 dansmith jaypipes: that
19:53:48 melwitt mriedem: replied to the rest of the comments
19:53:49 dansmith is definitely not my term, but someone used it around me recently and I made note to use it again
19:54:22 bauzas jaypipes: dansmith: unfortunatly, I think it's related to the thread mriedem created about the pendulum switching
19:54:41 bauzas ie. should nova be tolerant to misconfig?
19:55:11 bauzas if we assume the answer be no, then I agree, case c) is probably not worth it for rescheduling
19:55:56 mriedem bauzas: that's not really why i started that thread
19:56:04 bauzas mriedem: that I know
19:56:10 bauzas mriedem: but I think the outcome is related
19:57:16 mriedem i think eventually disabling reschedules by default will make things that cause (c) to get exposed more clearly so that we can determine if they are things we should reschedule on, or handle as just bug fixes, i.e. some race we can handle
19:57:40 mriedem but it's a wild west of who knows
19:57:46 bauzas yup
19:57:51 mriedem b/c it's python and anything raised up from below goes in there
19:58:27 mriedem dansmith: left some comments/questions in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/458634/
19:58:34 dansmith mriedem: thanks
19:58:36 mriedem dansmith: am i correct in stating that's all prep work for the next change in the series?
20:00:19 mriedem melwitt: ok looking
20:01:04 bauzas mriedem: dansmith: mmm, that https://review.openstack.org/#/c/458634/ is something I wondered when I was looking at my branch
20:02:00 bauzas mriedem: dansmith: correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but the problem is that we mutate the context so that when we exit the contextmanager, it's still having the new MQ ?
20:02:48 bauzas because if so, that explains what I discovered, ie. the fact that I was able to ComputeNodeList.get_all() without needing to scope my target
20:05:50 mriedem melwitt: replied to your replies, i don't get the point about old compute code calling count()
20:05:55 mriedem because it's not a separate service,
20:06:00 mriedem the old compute code will call the old count() code
20:06:17 melwitt mriedem: the count() function is accessible through the Quotas.count() remotable method
20:06:21 mriedem because it's all bundled together i think, unless maybe you have like a nova-common package and that gets updated before this or something?
20:06:47 melwitt I don't think compute actually calls count. but if something old did, then the new code would have to work
20:07:33 mriedem i don't see anything calling it
20:08:06 mriedem besides the api,
20:08:08 mriedem which you've changed here
20:08:26 melwitt I don't think anything is, dansmith was saying because the remotable method is there, we can't just change the format of what it returns
