| 09:15:19 | gibi | do we need to consider the value of schedule_default_az during unshelve if the AZ param is not provided? | |
| 09:15:32 | bauzas | gibi: which is to continue to do what we agreed on before, but either documenting the 'unpinned can't be pinned again' thing, or provide some explicit parameter for it | |
| 09:16:21 | bauzas | gibi: you know that this option is only used by the api service and some ops use that for RR load-balancing between AZs ? | |
| 09:16:50 | bauzas | they have different value per nova-api service | |
| 09:16:52 | gibi | personally I don't want to have schedule_default_az in the picture | |
| 09:17:05 | gibi | as it is extra complication | |
| 09:17:16 | bauzas | gibi: don't disagree with this | |
| 09:17:31 | gibi | no I did not know that there are people out there abusing schedule_default_az | |
| 09:17:32 | bauzas | problem is, unshelve to AZ is end-user API | |
| 09:17:45 | bauzas | and that's a problem | |
| 09:17:48 | gibi | AZ is an end user thing | |
| 09:17:53 | gibi | during boot too | |
| 09:17:59 | gibi | (excpet for schedule_default_az ;) ) | |
| 09:18:00 | bauzas | yes I know | |
| 09:18:04 | bauzas | that ^ | |
| 09:18:12 | gibi | sure | |
| 09:18:22 | bauzas | we're mixing wishes of the enduser with operator toughts | |
| 09:18:27 | gibi | yepp | |
| 09:18:45 | gibi | and most of the time operator > end user | |
| 09:18:51 | gibi | except for schedule_default_az | |
| 09:18:56 | bauzas | but this is clear that user choice supersedes the schedule_default_az thing | |
| 09:19:00 | gibi | as that is just a default that can be overridden by the end user | |
| 09:19:03 | bauzas | so this is bikeshed | |
| 09:19:11 | bauzas | yeah | |
| 09:19:37 | bauzas | let's put schedule_default_az out of the picture :) | |
| 09:20:14 | gibi | pretty please document this decision that schedule_default_az will not be used during unshelve | |
| 09:20:40 | gibi | we seriously need to beef up our doc around this | |
| 09:20:56 | gibi | to have something to point at when bugs appeare | |
| 09:21:07 | bauzas | possibly | |
| 09:21:26 | bauzas | that's what I said, AZs are tribal knowledge atm | |
| 09:30:20 | gibi | Uggla: I'm not sure I get the meaning of the colums of the table in your comment https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/831506/4#message-7d59a1d14206c958ad82d974af5f2a2c00ad255c | |
| 09:36:06 | Uggla | gibi, I just introduced a new param "az constraint". That would be used to choose if you want to pin/unpin the az of an instance. | |
| 09:36:26 | gibi | ahh so that would be a new API param | |
| 09:36:42 | Uggla | gibi, yes sorry if it is not clear. | |
| 09:36:43 | gibi | and above bauzas suggested that we don't add that, isn't it? | |
| 09:36:50 | gibi | no worries | |
| 09:36:55 | Uggla | gibi, yes | |
| 09:36:58 | gibi | ack | |
| 09:37:24 | gibi | I will try to summarise my current understanding about the agreement from above in the review | |
| 09:37:24 | Uggla | gibi, but bauzas said that before the discussion about pin/unpin of AZ. | |
| 09:37:44 | gibi | /o\ ETOOCOMPLEX | |
| 09:38:15 | gibi | anyhow | |
| 09:38:24 | gibi | I will try to write something in the review :D | |
| 09:38:40 | gibi | considering all the discussion happened before | |
| 09:38:44 | Uggla | gibi, hum yes I think that as well writting it. :) | |
| 09:39:19 | Uggla | gibi, but take care about the client issue as well. | |
| 09:39:37 | gibi | do you mean the CLI issue? | |
| 09:40:39 | Uggla | gibi, yes I introduced a param unpin-az to avoid issues with --availability-zone None --> None treated as a string "None". | |
| 09:41:50 | gibi | I assume if we come up with an API semantic that is accepted then will be able to map that to a meaningful CLI some way | |
| 09:42:09 | Uggla | gibi, so client as 3 param --availability-zone, --host, --unpin-az --> API only 2 --availability-zone and host. | |
| 09:42:15 | gibi | and in the CLI we can have extra params like unpin-az if we need it | |
| 09:42:26 | gibi | yep, CLI is easy :D | |
| 09:43:14 | Uggla | gibi, yes but it could be tricky without the mutually exclusive stuff. | |
| 09:43:57 | Uggla | gibi, ex on the cli user could request --availability-zone nova --unpin-az --> with is not possible. | |
| 09:44:13 | gibi | yepp, that we can catch that on the client side | |
| 09:44:14 | Uggla | s/with/which/ | |
| 09:44:37 | gibi | --availability-zone and --unpin-az is mutually exlisive on the client side | |
| 09:45:10 | Uggla | gibi, today all params are mutually exclusive. So no pb. | |
| 09:46:24 | Uggla | gibi, and this is the case on the CLI and API. | |
| 09:48:06 | Uggla | gibi, btw so we ended up to not support pin of an az via unshelve ? | |
| 09:49:18 | gibi | that is how I read bauzas above | |
| 09:50:24 | Uggla | gibi, to be honest it is unclear to me. :) | |
| 09:51:22 | gibi | but I think dansmith had other opinion | |
| 09:51:30 | gibi | "I agree, it's very confusing to sometimes provide an AZ and pin and other times not. That seems like something we should avoid." | |
| 09:52:16 | Uggla | gibi, should we try to put that point to today meeting agenda ? | |
| 09:53:00 | gibi | if you can ask the proper questions, then yes we can try | |
| 09:54:35 | opendevreview | Brin Zhang proposed openstack/nova master: Replace os-simple-tenant-usage with os-simple-project-usage https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/842476 | |
| 10:10:02 | Uggla | gibi, I put the question in the agenda. If you want to have look. | |
| 10:14:40 | opendevreview | John Garbutt proposed openstack/nova master: Ironic: retry when node not available https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/842478 | |
| 10:23:16 | gibi | bauzas: Uggla: left a comment to the unshelve spec pointing to an extended table in the etherpad | |
| 10:48:02 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: looks like the resize patch was hit by infra issue again | |
| 10:48:21 | sean-k-mooney | im seeing some mysql failures | |
| 10:56:24 | gibi | something is going on I saw mysql issues on other tempest patches this week | |
| 10:58:28 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: i think dan would prefer if the value provided for the az paramater is unconditionally used to update the request spec | |
| 10:58:45 | sean-k-mooney | so if its not provide we dont update | |
| 10:58:46 | gibi | yes I think so | |
| 10:59:02 | sean-k-mooney | if you provide a sentenal proably {} we woudl set it to python None | |
| 10:59:14 | sean-k-mooney | any string value jsut gets set in the request spec | |
| 10:59:33 | sean-k-mooney | actully we could use null | |
| 11:00:04 | sean-k-mooney | unqutated as in the json value null for python None that is the write sentenial | |
| 11:00:43 | sean-k-mooney | im ok with taht as it provides a way to pin and unpine and its simple to reason about | |
| 11:01:07 | sean-k-mooney | that just meas we get rid of the idea of az and host being mutally exclucive | |
| 11:02:07 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: have you checked the new table in https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/unshelve-to-host#L102 ? I think this is now in sync with what you wrote and what Dan suggested | |
| 11:02:15 | sean-k-mooney | so az unset means use current requstspec value, az=null means update to python None az="any string" means update to that stirng | |
| 11:02:42 | sean-k-mooney | i have it open but have not read it yet was reading the scrollback here | |
| 11:03:21 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: yepp | |
| 11:03:33 | sean-k-mooney | so the only delta is im being explict about types | |
| 11:03:50 | sean-k-mooney | so we are not reserving the string None to by python None | |
| 11:04:09 | sean-k-mooney | we are using the json value null | |
| 11:04:24 | gibi | also the previous proposal did not pin when no AZ (boot) -> AZ (unshelve) was requested | |
| 11:04:34 | gibi | but the new one pins | |
| 11:04:39 | gibi | as per dansmith's point | |
| 11:05:38 | sean-k-mooney | why is no unpinning allow if the host is requested | |
| 11:06:11 | sean-k-mooney | would it not be simplet to jsut entirly decoule the two paramters | |
| 11:06:47 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: do you mean L182? | |
| 11:06:50 | gibi | L128 | |
| 11:06:57 | sean-k-mooney | yes | |
| 11:07:24 | gibi | I think it can lead to contradiction | |
| 11:07:40 | sean-k-mooney | i dont think so | |
| 11:07:41 | gibi | no AZ host1 -> pin to the AZ of host1 | |
