Honestly, that seems weird to me.

oslo.db is built as a common layer for OpenStack services.

eventlet is used by most OpenStack services.

There are lots of known issues with eventlet vs. our db access patterns.

Knowing that the db layer works in the common OpenStack pattern seems
really important. And something that seems to make sense very close to
the db code itself.

Hello Angus!


IMO, the simple answer on your question is - tests for eventlet and
oslo.db interaction should be in the same place, where eventlet and
oslo.db interact. :)


A little digression - we suppose, that oslo.db should neither know, nor
take care whether target projects use eventlet/gevent/OS
threads/multiple processes/callbacks/etc for handling concurrency -
oslo.db just can't (and should not) make such decisions for users. For
the very same reason SQLAlchemy doesn't do that.


Thanks,

Victor

     We have an issue with neutron (and presumably elsewhere), where

     I believe it's responsible for ~all of these failures:
     
http://logstash.openstack.org/#eyJzZWFyY2giOiJcIkxvY2sgd2FpdCB0aW1lb3V0IGV4Y2VlZGVkOyB0cnkgcmVzdGFydGluZyB0cmFuc2FjdGlvblwiIiwiZmllbGRzIjpbXSwib2Zmc2V0IjowLCJ0aW1lZnJhbWUiOiI2MDQ4MDAiLCJncmFwaG1vZGUiOiJjb3VudCIsInRpbWUiOnsidXNlcl9pbnRlcnZhbCI6MH0sInN0YW1wIjoxNDA0OTcwMzgwMjc0fQ==

     Now, the fix is one thing and is underway (the current favourite
     option is just switching to a different mysql client library) - my
     question here is instead about this test:

     https://review.openstack.org/#/c/104436/

     This test (as written) is against oslo.db and drives eventlet +
     sqlalchemy to confirm that the current sqlalchemy driver does _not_
     have the above deadlock observed with mysqldb.  I think it (or some
     version of it) is an important test, but the oslo.db guys don't want
     it in their testsuite since they've purged every explicit mention of
     eventlet.  I'm sympathetic to this pov.

     I think we should have something like this test *somewhere*, at
     least as long as we're using eventlet frequently.

     I'm a bit new to openstack, so I'm lost in a maze of testing
     options.  Could some kind member of the TC point to where this test
     *should* go?
