I did logic review according to the FS assuming that the FS (and the design 
described there) was approved on the [PROPOSAL] stage, BEFORE the code was put 
it to the review board. Was it approved at that stage?

Alex, the feature is not small, and considering that it raised so many 
questions and arguing, I would really like to get a final design/logic review + 
“ship it” from people having expertise on the topic, and/or who originally 
participated in review/discussion: Chiradeep, Kishan, Murail.

Thank you,

Alex, sorry to hear that it took so long to get on the review process. The 
question still remains – before you started working on implementation, and 
posted your plugin’s code, was the FS approved/reviewed as a part of [PROPOSAL] 
discussion? We should never start the development until you get the input from 
the community on the FS and confirm that the design is valid and the feature 
can contribute to CS. Only after the proposal is accepted, you can request the 
Reviewboard ticket review. So I did assume that the [PROPOSAL] phase was 
finished, and the FS was validated as a part of it, when I was asked by Daan to 
review the Reviewboard ticket.

I’ve also looked at the history. I can see that Chiradeep contributed to the 
design/plugin logic discussion as well as pointed to the changes that need to 
be done to the code structure. I helped to review the second.

Lets wait for the update from Kishan. Kishan, in addition to answering Alex’s

Alena,

It has been reduced almost twice because a lot has been separated from the CS 
and moved to the plug-in not because they are 'unnecessary'. Please remember 
that my initial implementation was inside the CS not as a plug-in as I said in 
the previous email.

Of course, I asked and urged the review repeatedly and you'll see the all the 
histories of them if you find emails using this subject, which started 10/17/13.

Even if I asked so many times, unfortunately, I couldn't get an actual feedback

Kishan,
I posted 2 questions, so please guide me for the questions.

By “huge” I’ve meant that there was a lot of repetitive hardcoded things, lot 
of unnecessary changes to the CS orchestration layer. If you compare a number 
of changes now and originally, you can see that it reduced almost twice.

But lets discuss the complains about lack of initial review as its more 
important question.

Review of the design spec should happen before you start designing/coding. As I 
jumped on review much later, after you’ve submitted the entire plugin code, so 
I I didn’t participate in “Feature Request” discussion review that might have 
happened earlier. And I do assume that the reviews/emails exchanges were done 
at that initial phase? You should have contacted the people participating in 
the initial phase, and ask them for the review as well.

As a part of my review, I’ve made sure to cover the things I’m certain should 
have been changed. I’ve reviewed the feature logic as well, consulting the FS 
you’ve written. I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with your initial 
design, but asking for a second opinion from the guys who have more expertise 
in Regions.

Kishan, please help to do the final review the Alex’s plugin design

Alena,

I understand that you have been helping a lot to make my codes to match the 
coding standards, but I'm not sure what you mean by "the code base was 
unnecessary huge".
The initial implementation was to support the synchronization inside the CS 
because this feature is missing in the current multiple region support, and 
most of jobs were  to separate the implementation from the CS because you guys 
wanted me to provide it as a plugin.

And I kept asking reviews for the design spec from when I published the 
documents with initial prototype, it took a while for you to start to review my 
implementation and they have been mostly about the coding standards instead of 
the logic itself. So I'm saying that it would have been better if there has 
been someone to review the design spec and the prototype from the initial phase.

Again, I really appreciate your help to come this far, but it was also very 
painful for me.

In the beginning the code was not very well organazied, didn't match coding

All of the above it very hard to review and understand the code logic from the 
beginning and engage more people to the review. Therefore Chiradeep pointed it 
in his original review that the code needs to match CS standarts first, and be 
better organized. I helped to review the fixes, and did logic review as well 
after the code came into “reviewable” shape.

I'm asking Kishan/Murali to look at it to see if anything is missing or

As Alena mentioned, it is admin’s responsibility to keep ids same across 
Regions. Ids should be used as unique identifier. Region name is merely 
descriptive name and its mostly associated with geographic location.
Also note that region name can be updated anytime using updateRegion API.

Unlike, other internal Ids in CS, region Ids are assigned by admin. So exposing 
region Id to admin should not be an issue.

Id of the local region cannot be guaranteed to be “1” always. Region Id has to 
be unique across all regions. While creating new region admin will provide 
unique region id to cloud-setup-databases script. Id of the local region is 
stored in db.properties. To identify a Local region you can use one of the 
following options:

1.       Look up region.id<http://region.id> in db.properties

2.       Add a new column in region table

There is one thing that was not mentioned, which is that currently the id of

It's been a long way to come this far with several reasons, so I really want to

Alex, id is used as a unique identifier for CS objects. And it is the CS

more human readable. The id is used by Api layer when parameter validation is 
done, by lots of Dao methods (findById is one of them), etc.  Even look at 
updateRegion/deleteRegion – we don’t refer to them by name, but by the id.

The reason why Kishan added the support for controlling the id by adding it to 
the createRegion call (and making it unique) is exactly that – region 
administrator can decide what id to set on the region, and to introduce the 
region with the same id to the other regions’ db.

So I would still suggest on using the id of the region in the API calls you are 
modifying. Unless developers who worked on regions feature – Kishan/Murali – 
come up with the valid objection.

We can use the same ids & names, but we don't have to use the same ids if we 
use names, which is a little easier because names are user readable but ids are 
not, so we don't need to memorize/check all the ids when we add new regions in

I assume that we expect the admin to add the region with the same name and the

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.

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

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>

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?

You need to put:

*  the entityType parameter to the annotation.

  *   Change the type to Long as I’ve already mentioned. Check how other 
commands handle the parameters (networkId, vpcId, etc)

Will this change work?

    @Parameter(name = ApiConstants.ORIGINATED_REGION_ID, type = 
CommandType.UUID, description = "Region UUID where this account is created.", 
since = "4.5")
    private String originatedRegionUUID;

Alena,

This is what really frustrates me, but can you give the final items instead of 
keeping adding more items whenever I post a review, please?
Can you gurantee that this is the only item you want me to fix?

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.
