Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] distibuted caching system in front of mysql server

In light of what Dolph said with regards to Keystone, we are using 
dogpile.cache to implement memoization in front of our driver calls.
It it has the ability to cache directly as well, but it has been effective (so 
far) for our use-case.

That being said, I am unsure if caching in front of MySQL is really what we 
want.  I believe that we should be caching after processing work (hence 
memoization mechanism) instead of at the SQL layer.  This also means we can be 
measured in what we cache (oh hey, it makes no sense to cache X because it 
needs to be real time or there isn't a performance issue with that query / 
call, but Y does a ton of processing and is an expensive join/temptable query). 
 In my experience, unless the whole application is designed with caching in 
mind, caching something as broad as MySQL calls (or any SQL store) is likely 
going to net exactly what Shawn Hartsock stated, adding a second performance 
issue.

 I once heard a quote.. I had a performance problem, so I added caching.
 now I have two performance problems.

 Caching is unbelievably awesome in the jobs it can do well. When the
 problem is straight forward and the requirements are few, it is just
 the right thing to relieve engineering pressure to make an
 application more scalable.

 However, IMO, more than narrow, well defined cache usage is a sign
 that the application needs some reworking to scale.

 I like the principle of let's use dogpile so we don't have to
 reinvent multi-level caching. However, let's make sure we look at
 each performance issue individually, rather than just throwing them
 all in a cache box and waving the memcache wand.

Re: [openstack-dev] [Ceilometer] Suggestions for alarm improvements ...

2013-10-29 Thread Qing He
Sandy,

Does the framework account for customizable events?:
In my use case, I have a network (or some other proprietary way, e.g., some 
special BUS protocol)  attached device that does not fit into openstack node 
structure. It can generate events. According to these events, Openstack 
orchestration layer (HEAT?) may need to do thing like failing over all vms on 
one system to another system (compute node).

If I would like to use the alarm/notification system, I would need to add a
Customized collector, and my events would need to be routed to, say HEAT, and I 
would need to define the action ( a plugging/callback?) corresponding to the 
event for HEAT to take on my behalf.

Is my approach right/supported under the framework and the current HEAT (or 
some other components) release?

Thanks,

Qing

Here are a few notes I put together around some ideas for alarm improvements. 
In order to set it up I spent a little time talking about the Ceilometer 
architecture in general, including some of the things we have planned for 
IceHouse. 

I think Parts 1-3 will be useful to anyone looking into Ceilometer. Part 4 is 
where the meat of it is.

Look forward to feedback from everyone and chatting about it at the summit.

If I missed something obvious, please mark it up so we can address it.

Thanks Morgan.
In my embedded situation, There is no hard drive where I run the Openstack 
controller, keystone, and other control functions, thus, my only choice has to 
be to use an in-core-db (cache) for the realtime transactions into the

Yes, if this rpc notification mechanism works for all other components, e.g., 
Neutron, in addition to Nova, which seems to be the only documented component 
working with this notification system.

For example, can we do something like

Network.instance.shutdown/.end

Or

Or

[openstack-dev] [Heat] Does Heat support checkpointing for guest application

2013-09-13 Thread Qing He
All,
I'm wondering if Heat provide service for checkpointing the guest application 
for HA/redundancy similar to what corosync/pacemaker/openais provided for bare 
medal applications.

Thanks,

Qing

Hi,

Yes, if you use the providernetwork extension you can create a network on a 
vlan and have physical hosts accessible on that vlan. If using the NVP plugin 
another option is to use its networkgw extension to do this in conjunction with 
overlay networks.

 +1 to John's points.   If a company is colluding with other core
 members, from the same company, to do bad things within a project,
 it should become pretty obvious at some point and the project's
 community should take action.   If someone is putting in an extra
 effort to provide quality code and reviews on a regular basis, then
 why wouldn't we want that person on the team?  Besides, being a core
 member really just means that you are required to do reviews and
 help out with the community.  You do get some gerrit privileges for
 reviews, but that's about it.   I for one think that we absolutely
 can use more core members to help out with reviews during the
 milestone deadlines :)
Walt,
As I said, I really wasn't worried about anyone colluding or doing bad
things.  As you said, that would be obvious and could be handled.  I was
concerned about creating a limited view, and I thank you and everyone who
replied for easing those concerns.

And BTW, I don't think there is an HP conspiracy to take over Cinder and
make it FC-only :)

Thanks,
Avishay

It's possible you've got two accounts in Gerrit, one you're updating through

Re: [openstack-dev] Should RPC consume_in_thread() be more fault tolerant?

2013-06-25 Thread Qing He
In this case, the exception is just hard to debug, and not something we 
expected in our design. The thorough solution would be to debug further to see 
the root cause, and deal with it as I suggested in the code review. 

However, If it is time consuming to debug, we can put the patch in there with 
logging to record the circumstances the 'unexpected' exception occurs, so that 
we can put in new patches to deal it when it becomes expected. After all, this 
is an iterative process. When the software evolves, a lot of unexpected has 
become expected.

By definition, unexpected exceptions are unexpected, so there is nothing yet to 
do root cause analysis on.  We could argue as to what the appropriate action to 
take is, but that has already been discussed on the mailing list started by
