Re: [openstack-dev] [glance] Why does Glance keep the deleted membership of image ?

2015-07-10 Thread Long Quan Sha


I can't understand how the impact on performance, image-members still have
an idx. Is there any other concern on the patch ?  How to get result from
rally gate job ?

Can you give me suggestion on how to move forward ?  Thanks .



Best regards,
LongQuan

Please find the response inline.


  Hi Glance experts,

  I'd like to send this mail again, hope I can get help and suggest
  from glance experts. The question is from a bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1462315,

  If an image-member is deleted, then create it again with the same
  parameters, glance searches db to see if there is already an existing
  one, but the result doesn't include the record which was marked as
  deleted,
  glance will try to create a new one with the same parameters, it
  works well on mysql. But it is failed on DB2 with SQL0803N error.

  The root cause is that DB2 constraint is more restricted than mysql.
  For db2, the columns under unique constrains should be NOT NULL,
  currently the column deleted_at which is one of unique constrain of
  image_members
  is nullable. A possible solution is to alter it to not null in
  migration. that means we have to insert a default timestamp value for
  the new created image-member, an active member with a no-blank
  timestamp for deleted_at seems very confusing.




Agree that this is confusing. And changing the behavior this way is NOT a
good idea. A record that's never been deleted should not have deleted(_at)
value. It will affect notifications and conflict with API guidelines.



  Another fix is: we may check all existing image-member records
  including the deleted image-member before create image-member, then
  update it if it exists, otherwise create a new one, that is proposed
  in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/190895/


  I'm wondering why can't we use only one record to maintain the
  member-ship between a pair of image and tenant. Maybe there is some
  other consideration, can you help give me some suggestion ? I'd like
  to know more. Thanks.





Concept wise this sounds like a good idea but it could have performance
degradation impact. Nonetheless, image-members have an idx that should be a
relief for that query image_member_find that you added in your proposal. My
hope is that the rally gate job will tell us more if there is a performance
problem.



  Best regards,
  LongQuan
