| 13:07:10 | edleafe | but I am still not clear on what is supposed to be authoritative when it comes to "acceptable versions" | |
| 13:07:31 | edleafe | how do you see this middleware knowing that for a service? | |
| 13:08:05 | cdent | that version_list, which is a thing like: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/placement/microversion.py#L36 | |
| 13:08:34 | cdent | the DNM think I linked before passes VERSIONS into the middleware | |
| 13:10:14 | edleafe | I saw that; I'm still not clear on the benefit of passing that from the service to the middleware | |
| 13:10:42 | edleafe | With it, every service using the middleware has to implement a versions list and pass it during setup | |
| 13:11:07 | edleafe | Without it, services that care about checking specific versions can do so locally | |
| 13:12:11 | cdent | the job of the middleware is twofold: | |
| 13:12:31 | cdent | extract a version and put it in the environ to be used by the app | |
| 13:12:51 | cdent | to return a 4xx is the microversion is malformed or out of range | |
| 13:13:17 | cdent | in order for it to "out of range" is has to know the range | |
| 13:13:38 | cdent | we want it to do that job, because we want it to fail early | |
| 13:15:04 | cdent | and yes, it does require everyone have a versions list but that strikes me as a good bit of housekeeping (and you also need it for Version.matches() | |
| 13:17:33 | edleafe | Is there a way to say "any version is ok" for those that do not do such housekeeping? | |
| 13:18:04 | cdent | If you don't do that housekeeping you can't do matches() | |
| 13:18:13 | cdent | and you can't do version_handler | |
| 13:18:29 | cdent | so you may as well not use microversion-parse | |
| 13:18:58 | cdent | I guess I'm not understanding how/when you wouldn't want to do the housekeeping? | |
| 13:19:09 | edleafe | *I* would want to do it | |
| 13:19:26 | edleafe | Just wondering if that is the standard approach | |
| 13:19:43 | edleafe | Thinking about projects that have not yet adopted microversions | |
| 13:20:04 | edleafe | Would this be an attractive feature, or a turn-off | |
| 13:20:57 | edleafe | Maybe it will encourage good microversion behavior :) | |
| 13:21:00 | cdent | I think the versions_list provides a useful bit of cognitive scaffodling, without it, you aren't really thinking like a microversioner | |
| 13:22:54 | edleafe | I believe the correct term is 'microversioneer' | |
| 13:23:11 | cdent | nova does a similar thing, but instead of a list it uses a min and max, but I think that's limiting | |
| 13:23:24 | cdent | you can't easily disable a microversion in the middle | |
| 13:25:08 | elmiko | cdent: re: %s, i read a really cool blog that actually explained when it would be more efficient to use %s vs. format | |
| 13:27:19 | cdent | string interpolation is a mess. I'm of the "pick one and stick to it" school and my choice appears to be because of when I showed up to the party | |
| 13:27:57 | elmiko | i was kinda shocked to learn about the performance differences | |
| 13:28:12 | elmiko | but i agree, would be cool if they could pick one and stick to it | |
| 13:28:51 | elmiko | "string interpolation choice as a carbon dating of python usage" XD | |
| 13:29:18 | edleafe | F-strings FTW! | |
| 13:29:39 | edleafe | They would also force people to upgrade to Ptyhon 3.6 | |
| 13:30:47 | edleafe | (and they are faster!) | |
| 13:31:45 | elmiko | ++ | |

| 13:51:03 | openstackgerrit | Emilien Macchi proposed openstack/python-openstackclient master: neutron: add --mtu for create/set network https://review.openstack.org/553374 | |
| 14:01:42 | openstackgerrit | Hengqing Hu proposed openstack/python-openstacksdk master: Allow cascade deletion of load balancer https://review.openstack.org/553404 | |
| 14:19:58 | cdent | elmiko: line 45 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/550251/2/microversion_parse/tests/test_extract_version.py | |
| 14:24:25 | elmiko | cdent: ack, i /thought/ that was it but wanted to make sure. thanks! | |
| 14:44:44 | cdent | thanks elmiko end edleafe, I'll do some of the suggested tidy ups and push a new stack. I'm perfectly happy to have things be less than perfect, we can always fix stuff | |
| 14:44:55 | cdent | released bugs are the gasoline of opensource | |
| 14:46:14 | edleafe | so... you want to burn it all down? :) | |
| 14:47:07 | cdent | only some of it | |
| 14:49:22 | openstackgerrit | Andrey Volkov proposed openstack/cliff master: Allow finding command by partial name https://review.openstack.org/552970 | |
| 14:50:33 | elmiko | edleafe: lol | |
| 14:51:12 | openstackgerrit | Andrey Volkov proposed openstack/cliff master: Allow finding command by partial name https://review.openstack.org/552970 | |
| 14:57:02 | openstackgerrit | Dmitry Tantsur proposed openstack/api-wg master: Add guideline on exposing microversions in SDKs https://review.openstack.org/532814 | |
| 14:57:05 | dtantsur | updates with the PTG outcome ^^^ | |
| 14:57:15 | cdent | dtantsur++ | |
| 14:57:37 | elmiko | nice | |
| 16:00:57 | elmiko | cdent: ping | |
| 16:01:09 | cdent | oops | |
| 17:11:11 | cdent | dtantsur, edleafe, elmiko https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/api-sig-newsletter I started out with some energy and then fizzled out, please proof | |
| 17:12:53 | edleafe | wow, I opened up that link, and I could hear the fizzing! | |
| 17:17:37 | cdent | you happy with it edleafe ? | |
| 17:19:52 | edleafe | Made two micro-nit corrections, and now LGTM | |
| 17:20:14 | cdent | nice | |
| 17:20:45 | cdent | I'm often confused on project names, because back when docs wrote docs they preferred lowercase project names | |
| 18:01:53 | elmiko | cdent: sorry got pulled away | |
| 18:02:02 | cdent | no worries | |
| 18:08:46 | elmiko | ooh, i had not noticed that we are cross-posting those to openstack-sigs now as well. i will update my proceedures | |
| 18:09:33 | cdent | i don't always remember | |
| 18:09:42 | cdent | but I think we said at some point that it was maybe a good idea | |
| 18:13:05 | elmiko | yeah, it is a good idea. i had just forgotten we said that | |
| 18:24:59 | openstackgerrit | Chris Dent proposed openstack/microversion-parse master: Import functions from placement https://review.openstack.org/496212 | |
| 18:24:59 | openstackgerrit | Chris Dent proposed openstack/microversion-parse master: Provide a helper method to get headers from environ https://review.openstack.org/495356 | |
| 18:25:00 | openstackgerrit | Chris Dent proposed openstack/microversion-parse master: Add MicroversionMiddleware https://review.openstack.org/550252 | |
| 18:25:00 | openstackgerrit | Chris Dent proposed openstack/microversion-parse master: Improve Version.matches() method https://review.openstack.org/550251 | |

| 18:25:14 | cdent | elmiko, edleafe ^ I think I got the things you mentioned | |
| 18:32:13 | elmiko | cdent: ack | |
| 18:39:07 | openstackgerrit | James Penick proposed openstack/python-openstackclient master: Stop prefetching images in server list https://review.openstack.org/553577 | |
| 18:49:53 | edleafe | cdent: will look again soon-ish | |
| 18:50:14 | cdent | thanks edleafe, elmiko | |
| 19:26:19 | edleafe | cdent: Looking over the HTTP Guidelines doc, it looks like it is logically 3 documents: HTTP caching, HTTP response code guidance, and HTTP method guidance | |
| 19:26:56 | cdent | yes, breaking things up is probably warranted | |
| 19:27:06 | edleafe | Perhaps breaking it into 3 separate docs would make them more "discoverable" | |
| 19:27:17 | edleafe | due to the more specific titles | |
| 19:27:37 | edleafe | If you like, I can take a crack at it. | |
| 19:30:07 | elmiko | edleafe: that sounds like a nice idea | |
| 19:30:26 | cdent | edleafe: feel free to go for it if you're feeling motivated | |
| 19:30:41 | cdent | do we want to leave redirects or something? | |
| 19:32:52 | edleafe | not sure - does sound like a good idea just in case someone has bookmarked the current page | |
| 19:33:11 | cdent | it would be very bad form for the API-SIG to break the web | |
| 19:43:14 | elmiko | cdent: ++ | |
| 19:43:18 | elmiko | lol | |
| 19:45:17 | cdent | edleafe: bah, broken client code is broken client code | |
| 19:45:43 | cdent | and in any case when I say "the web" i mean public document urls. I went to library school after all. | |
| 19:45:54 | elmiko | can we just have the page return 4xx, "we're not the problem, you are!" | |
| 19:46:50 | edleafe | elmiko: "Figure it out yourself!" | |
| 19:47:03 | elmiko | so helpful XD | |
| 19:47:08 | edleafe | "We're not your babysitter!" | |
| 19:47:12 | elmiko | LOL | |

| 20:31:44 | openstackgerrit | Brian Haley proposed openstack/python-openstackclient master: Fix typo in 'floating ip associate' command and doc https://review.openstack.org/553603 | |
| 21:12:44 | EmilienM | osc-functional-devstack failed on my patch, is it accurate to do recheck? I've seen some messages about failures recently | |
| 21:13:01 | EmilienM | failure is in post | |
