Aren’t we supposed to sync the regions across the multiple regions Dbs? Because 
that’s what region FS states:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/AWS-Style+Regions+Functional+Spec,
 “Adding 2nd region” paragraph, bullet #4:


1. Install a 2nd CS instance.

2. While installing database set region_id using -r option in 
cloud-setup-databases script (Make sure database_key is same across all 
regions).

cloud-setup-databases cloud:<dbpassword>@localhost --deploy-as=root:<password> 
-e <encryption_type> -m <management_server_key> -k <database_key> -r <region_id>

3. Start mgmt server

4. Using addRegion API, add region 1 to region 2 and also region 2 to region 1.


I assume that we expect the admin to add the region with the same name and the 
same id to ALL regions Dbs (both id and name should be passed to createRegion 
call). So they are all in sync. Isn’t it the requirement? If so, we should rely 
on the fact that all regions Dbs will have the same set of regions having the 
same ids and names cross regions.


Thanks,

Alena.

What I'm trying to say is that when we pass the ids of regions, the receivers 
do not know what the originated region is and the id of each region is not same 
across all the regions.

Alex, thank you for summarizing.

 I still don’t see why id can’t be unique across regions as you can control the 
id assignment – id is required when createRegion call is made. And that’s how 
the region should be represented in other region’s Dbs – by its id that is 
unique across the regions. Kishan/Murali, please confirm.

Thank you,
Alena.

Subject: Re: Review Request 20099: Domain-Account-User Sync Up Among Multiple 
Regions (Core Changes)

All,

There is one open question in this topic, which is to figure out which value is 
appropriate to pass the region object, id or name?
During this implementation, we decided to add the information of regions where 
user/account/domain objects have been originally created/modified/removed.
But the ids of regions are not same across the regions and currently the 
regions do not have uuids(they will not be same either if we add them to 
regions), so I'd like to use names.

Please let me know what you think.
Thanks
Alex Ough

Subject: Re: Review Request 20099: Domain-Account-User Sync Up Among Multiple 
Regions (Core Changes)

Adding Kishan to the thread as he was the one who implemented the region 
feature originally.

Kishan, in a situation when there are 2 regions in the system, we expect 
“region” table to be populated with the same id/name in both Dbs for both 
regions, right? So my question is – what uniquely identifies the region in CS 
system in cross region setup – id/name?

That unique identifier should be the value that is passed to the calls you 
modify, Alex. WE can’t just pass some random name to the call without making 
any further verification.

Kishan/Murali, please help to verify this part of Alex’s fix as it should 
really be someone with an expertise in Regions. I’ve reviewed the rest of the 
feature, just this one item is open. See my latest comment to the 
https://reviews.apache.org/r/17790/diff/?page=1#0 as well as refer to this 
email thread for the context.

Subject: Re: Review Request 20099: Domain-Account-User Sync Up Among Multiple 
Regions (Core Changes)

That what would everybody assume 100% just by looking at the parameter 
description and parameter – that you refer to region UUID : "Region where this 
account is created.”/ORIGINATEDREGIONUUID
In CS the UUID has a special meaning. It has to have the UUID format, and its 
randomly generated value that is stored in the DB along with the actual db id. 
I can see that regionVO lacks UUID field. Looks like existing RegionVO object 
lacks this filed unlike other CS objects (uservm, etc). I will follow up with 
Murali on that.

Alex, so originatedRegionUUID refers to the region name, correct?. Why don’t 
use the region id instead? That’s what we do when refer to CS objects – we 
always refer to them by id which is unique. Which is true even for the region:

mysql> show create table region;

 UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `name` (`name`)


That’s what you do when you manipulate the region itself (delete/updateRegion) 
- refer to the region by its id. And this field is returned to you when you 
call listRegions API:

http://localhost:8096/?command=listRegions
<region>
<id>1</id>
<name>Local</name>
<endpoint>http://localhost:8080/client/</endpoint>
<gslbserviceenabled>true</gslbserviceenabled>
<portableipserviceenabled>false</portableipserviceenabled>
</region>


Please correct if I miss something.

Thanks for the clarification, but here is a thing.

I'm passing names as the values of originatedRegionUuids because the uuids are 
randomly generated and the same regions do NOT have the same uuidss.
So I'd like to change the parameter types into String.
Let me know if you think otherwise.

Alex,

take a look at ParamProcessWorker class, and how API parameters are being 
dispatched/verified.


1)  public void processParameters(final BaseCmd cmd, final Map params) method

First of all, EntityType parameter should be defined in the @Parameter 
annotation for the originatedRegionID field. This parameter is used by 
paramProcessWorker to make "if entity exists" validation


2) Check another method in the same class:

private void setFieldValue(final Field field, final BaseCmd cmdObj, final 
Object paramObj, final Parameter annotation) throws IllegalArgumentException, 
ParseException {

Thats the method responsible for dispatching/setting the field values. Here is 
the snippet of the code for the case when UUID is defined:

 case UUID:
                    if (paramObj.toString().isEmpty())
                        break;
                    final Long internalId = 
translateUuidToInternalId(paramObj.toString(), annotation);
                    field.set(cmdObj, internalId);
                    break;

it always transforms the UUID to Long id, not string. And at the end, it will 
be internal DB UUID, not the UUID. If you need the UUID, you have to get it by 
a) retrieving the object from the DB by id b) Getting its UUID property.

If you leave it as a String, you will hit IllegalArgumentException at 
"field.set(cmdObj, internalId);" line.


Hope it answers your questions, and let me know if anything else needs to be 
clarified.

Why do you want to change UUID to 'Long'?
Can you just correct what I fixed?

Alex, as a part of the fix, also change the param name to be regionId (there 
should be a value in apiconstants already) as the parameter really reflects CS 
region object, and we usually refer to those as networkID, vpcID (not uuid) 
although uuid are passed in. Check if the rest of the api changes you've done, 
respect this rule. Sorry, out of the office now and cant check myself if there 
are any.
