21:01:01 <edleafe> \o
21:01:07 <melwitt> #link Rocky release schedule: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/Rocky_Release_Schedule
21:01:25 <melwitt> milestone 3, r-3 feature freeze is coming up in 3 weeks
21:02:12 <melwitt> so we've not too much time left for features
21:02:45 <melwitt> are there any things on the radar that will be subject to a FF exception?
21:03:34 <cdent> I think we're gonna hit FFE's for some placement stuff :(
21:03:41 <cdent> assuming we want to get the reshaper in
21:03:50 <melwitt> yeah, that's one I was thinking about
21:03:50 <tssurya> is the handle down cell an exception ?
21:04:31 <melwitt> that's the other I was thinking about. I think probably but we'll need to discuss it
21:04:44 <tssurya> ack
21:04:53 <dansmith> the bug-ish part of down-cell has merged,
21:05:03 <dansmith> the rest is pretty feature-y given that it will have a microversion and new behavior
21:05:12 <dansmith> so, I would think we'd need to consider that an FFE
21:05:33 <melwitt> roger that
21:06:36 <melwitt> okay, to summarize, we've 3 weeks to r-3 and let us know if you've concerns over your feature not making it. we've got https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-rocky-blueprint-status to track status

21:08:02 <dansmith> mriedem and I have been hitting 2 and 3 pretty hard
21:08:11 <mriedem> i also -1ed #1 on friday
21:08:21 <dansmith> doubt either will make it, but they have some inertia I think
21:08:23 <mriedem> otherwise efried helped shape that one up
21:08:45 <melwitt> okay, that's good to hear. thank you dansmith efried_off mriedem
21:09:28 <melwitt> anyone have anything else for release news or runways before we move on?

21:16:14 <melwitt> #topic Subteam Highlights
21:16:19 <dansmith> no
21:16:30 <melwitt> yesterday was a US holiday so we didn't hold a cells meeting
21:16:35 <melwitt> :)
21:16:50 <melwitt> tssurya: anything you'd like to call out for cells?
21:16:58 <tssurya> no all good :)
21:17:04 <melwitt> k
21:17:14 <mriedem> i see there is a -1 on the down cell spec
21:17:45 <tssurya> mriedem: yes, we should talk about some stuff later after this meeting
21:17:49 <mriedem> is that waiting for core review to see if the -1 is legit?
21:18:06 <tssurya> mriedem: yea its waiting for more opinions
21:18:09 <mriedem> ok i've been focused on stuff in runways so i just haven't looked at the latest
21:18:23 <melwitt> yeah, upon a glance is talking about blocking a nova boot over a down cell. that is something that will be contentious
21:18:44 <tssurya> melwitt: correct
21:19:02 <melwitt> I don't like it either but I don't have a better idea, is kinda what I think about that
21:19:33 <melwitt> since we've got no way to do all of the quota stuff thru placement because of the inability to know allocation owners (i.e. "which nova?")
21:19:36 <melwitt> anyway
21:20:01 <melwitt> we can move on for now
21:20:01 <cdent> scheduler meeting was short, we talked about several bugs with being able to reparent providers and miscellaneous problems handling consumers and consumer generations. fixes in progress on most things. some discussion remains on others. those bugs are the highlight of the week.
21:20:46 <melwitt> cool, thanks cdent. the reparent providers thing is blocking mriedem's heal allocations patch
21:20:53 <melwitt> s/thing/bug/
21:21:06 <mriedem> not re-parent,
21:21:08 <mriedem> change owner
21:21:21 <mriedem> if we're talking about healing consumer project/user
21:21:25 <melwitt> oh, k. I thought reparent meant that. thanks for correcting
21:22:09 <melwitt> I don't think gibi is going to be around right now, he didn't leave any notes about notifications subteam on the agenda
21:22:21 <melwitt> *and he didn't leave any notes
21:22:30 <melwitt> anything else for subteam highlights?
21:22:30 <mriedem> there is a fix up for a thing that's been in the ML thread
21:22:48 <mriedem> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/579925/
21:23:09 <mriedem> people with really really old instances might not be able to use versioned notifications because the really old embedded instance.flavor is missing a field
21:23:10 <melwitt> #link notifications bug patch https://review.openstack.org/579925
21:23:23 <melwitt> ah, okay. will check that out
21:23:26 <mriedem> dansmith has context so i'll gently remind him to review it
21:23:32 <mriedem> oh so gentle
21:23:34 <melwitt> even better
21:23:35 <dansmith> oh baby
21:23:41 <dansmith> is this the flavor thing?
21:23:42 <mriedem> yeah
21:23:48 <dansmith> okay yeah
21:23:54 <melwitt> kewl
21:24:05 <melwitt> #topic Stuck Reviews
21:24:14 <melwitt> nothing on the agenda. does anyone in the room have anything for stuck reviews?
21:24:43 <melwitt> #topic Open discussion
21:24:52 <melwitt> one agenda item from this morning
21:24:57 <melwitt> specless blueprint approval wanted (jmlowe) https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/rbd-erasure-coding
21:25:24 <dansmith> doesn't say anything about what is involved?
21:25:27 <melwitt> this is about enabling the use of ceph rbd erasure encoding. it would involve adding a new config option
21:25:48 <dansmith> would be nice to at least explain what we need to do.. is it just "if flag, pass true for erasure coding" ?
21:25:59 <melwitt> which would be used to pass a data_pool kwarg to our existing call during clone/create
21:26:28 <melwitt> yeah, I can ask jmlowe to add a bit more detail to the description
21:26:51 <dansmith> if it's just a flag that gets passed through during image create or whatever, it seems reasonable for specless
21:27:45 <melwitt> yeah, that was also my opinion. we discussed it a bit in #openstack-nova today and he said it should be that simple
21:28:30 <mriedem> so bp approval is contingent on poc i'd say
21:28:37 <mriedem> if it's that simple
21:29:11 <melwitt> okay, that sounds fair enough. I did tell him if he wants to get this done this cycle the code is gonna have to show up ASAP being that FF is only 3 weeks away
21:29:44 <melwitt> so we can just adjust that to, upload the POC and approve after that
21:30:26 <mriedem> i think we should also have 2 cores signed up to review it
21:30:37 <mriedem> just like jangutter's exception bp
21:30:49 <melwitt> I mentioned that to jmlowe too. I volunteer as one
21:30:54 <mriedem> i.e. if cores want to allow these things in post spec freeze, they need to sign up to review them
21:31:16 <mriedem> let's move on until code is up
21:31:27 <melwitt> okay, I'll make a note on the bp and let him know
21:31:30 <dansmith> yass
21:31:42 <melwitt> anyone have anything else for open discussion before we wrap up?
21:32:12 <dansmith> send it.
21:32:18 <melwitt> okay, thanks y'all
