Team,
Stephen Watson has been working on an magnum feature to add magnum commands to
the openstack client by implementing a plugin:
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/python-magnumclient+osc
In review of this work, a question has resurfaced, as to what the client
command name should be for magnum related commands. Naturally, we’d like to
have the name “cluster” but that word is already in use by Senlin.
Unfortunately, the Senlin API uses a whole bunch of generic terms as
top-level REST resources, including "cluster", "event", "action",
"profile", "policy", and "node". :( I've warned before that use of
these generic terms in OpenStack APIs without a central group
responsible for curating the API would lead to problems like this.
This is why, IMHO, we need the API working group to be ultimately
responsible for preventing this type of thing from happening.
Otherwise, there ends up being a whole bunch of duplication and same
terms being used for entirely different things.
Well, I believe the name and namespaces used by Senlin is very clean.
Note that above I referred to the Senlin *API*:
https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/clustering/
The use of generic terms like "cluster", "node", "policy", "profile",
"action", and "event" as *top-level resources in the REST API* are what
I was warning about.
Please see the following outputs. All commands are contained in the
cluster namespace to avoid any conflicts with any other projects.
Right, but I was talking about the REST API.
On the other hand, is there any document stating that Magnum is about
providing clustering service?
What exactly is a clustering service?
I mean, Galera has a clustering service. Pacemaker has a clustering
service. k8s has a clustering service. etcd has a clustering service.
Zookeeper has a clustering service.
Senlin is an API that allows a user to group *virtual machines* together
and expand or shrink that group of VMs. It's basically the old Heat
autoscaling API done properly. There's a *lot* to like about Senlin's
API and implementation.
However, it would have been more appropriate (and forward-looking) to
call Senlin's namespace "instance group" or "server group" than the
generic term "cluster".
> Why Magnum cares so much about the top
level noun if it is not its business?
Because Magnum uses the term "cluster" as a top-level resource in its
own REST API:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/magnum/tree/magnum/api/controllers/v1/cluster.py
The generic term "cluster" that Magnum uses should really be called "coe
group" or "container engine group" or "container service group" or
something like that, to better indicate what exactly is being operated on.
Best,

Stephen opened a discussion with Dean Troyer about this, and found
that “infra” might be a suitable name and began using that, and
multiple team members are not satisfied with it.
Yeah, not sure about "infra". That is both too generic and not an
actual "thing" that Magnum provides.
The name “magnum” was excluded from consideration because OSC aims
to be project name agnostic. We know that no matter what word we
pick, it’s not going to be ideal. I’ve added an agenda on our
upcoming team meeting to judge community consensus about which
alternative we should select:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Containers#Agenda_for_2017-03-21_1600_UTC
Current choices on the table are:
* c_cluster (possible abbreviation alias for container_infra_cluster)
* coe_cluster
* mcluster
* infra
For example, our selected name would appear in “openstack …” commands. Such as:
$ openstack c_cluster create …
If you have input to share, I encourage you to reply to this thread, or come to
the team meeting so we can consider your input before the team makes a
selection.
