Today's agenda is at: 21:02:26 #link http://wiki.openstack.org/Meetings/TeamMeeting 21:02:40 #topic Actions from previous meeting 21:02:49 * notmyname to double check that everything is included in https://launchpad.net/swift/+milestone/1.4.3 21:02:55 In progress ? 21:03:13 done. if anything else comes up, it wll be added 21:03:19 cool. 21:03:25 * vishy to reprioritize admin-account-actions which is likely to miss diablo 21:03:35 We'll talk about that one in the Nova topic 21:03:43 * jk0 to push new dep email policy to ML 21:03:52 That was done, nobody complained... 21:04:00 yet 21:04:08 I think for history we should put such decisions on the wiki somewhere 21:04:26 so that we can blame newcomers that haven't read it. 21:04:36 dep email policy? 21:04:51 change dependencies, send email 21:04:56 notmyname: warn about new deps by email 21:04:59 to the ML 21:05:17 so that downstreams can fix their packaging. 21:05:18 ok :-) just wondering what "deps" was in this context :-) 21:05:28 #topic Swift status 21:05:37 notmyname: Anything on your mind ? 21:05:48 nothing much to report with the code 21:05:59 I'll be speaking in San Francisco on Sept 8 http://www.meetup.com/openstack/events/30605231/ 21:06:46 notmyname: that's a crowded week :) 21:07:00 I'm working with mtaylor and jeblair about moving to gerrit. I don't think we have a timeline yet. just "soon" 21:07:08 Raise your hand if you have questions on Swift... 21:07:35 #topic Glance status 21:07:40 jaypipes: o/ 21:07:56 jaypipes: I'd like to review the missed features and decide between deferring to Essex and granting a post-D4 exception 21:08:18 (The idea being to minimize the changes as we get nearer to release. The Essex gates will open on September 8, so it's not that far away for deferred features) 21:08:22 ttx: SSL support has a branch proposed but I'm stuck on getting a working functional test case for it... 21:08:39 what about Add filter for changes-since (changes-since-filter) ? 21:08:42 ttx: so I'd like that feature to go in. 21:08:48 ttx: can go to Essex. 21:08:55 ok, willdefer 21:09:10 jaypipes: You also have 13 D4-targeted bugs, which sounds like a lot to fix in two days. 21:09:25 ould you come up with a more reasonable "must-have-for-D4" list and target the others to RBP ? 21:09:30 Could* 21:09:48 I'd like to know what I should be waiting on, if possible 21:10:08 ttx: the system-controlled/user-controlled properties will need to go into RBP 21:10:22 jaypipes: oh, missed that one 21:10:28 ttx: and yes on the bugs list. in process of writing a status update to the ML on glance bugs to focus on 21:10:54 jaypipes: any eta for system-controlled/user-controlled properties ? 21:12:06 ttx: depends on when Vek gets the functional test cases done for keystone. He's made good progress with _cerberus_ so far. Expect to see that bug closed soon (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/825419) 21:12:07 Launchpad bug 825419 in glance "Functional tests for private and shared images" [High,Confirmed] 21:12:15 ttx: that bug is the reason for that blueprint being in Blocked. 21:12:37 jaypipes: ok. You can add the tests in D4, btw, as a bugfix branch. 21:12:45 jaypipes: Other announcements/comments ? 21:13:06 ttx: thinking... 21:13:09 <_cerberus_> For the record, I *should* have those tests done shortly. Hitting a small roadblock in one of the tests 21:13:27 ttx: no, I think I'm good. 21:13:31 _cerberus_: rock. 21:13:53 Raise your hand if you have a question on Glance. 21:14:04 oooh... o/ 21:14:11 annegentle: about Glance API docs.... 21:14:37 annegentle: I'd like to put API doc into the RBP milestone: https://launchpad.net/glance/+milestone/diablo-rbp 21:14:41 annegentle: OK with you? 21:15:32 OK, I'll follow up offline on that 21:15:52 ok then moving on to the meaty topic 21:15:58 pork? 21:16:01 #topic Nova status 21:16:02 beef? 21:16:06 oh, right... 21:16:10 veal? 21:16:12 vishy: Let's review the numerous features that missed D4 for essex-deferring/rbp-excepting :) 21:16:21 * Implement Quantum Network Manager (implement-network-api) 21:16:29 hello 21:16:42 danwent: This one is proposed for merging, and reasonably self-contained ? 21:17:04 pretty much self-contained... a few changes to nova-manage and adding a field to the networks table. 21:17:15 otherwise pretty much everything is only run if you run the QuantumManager class 21:17:22 which is an alternative to FlatManager, etc. 21:17:22 danwent: but depends on Melange stuff, right ? 21:17:41 ttx: i recently change it so that it can work with the nova DB ip address management as well. 21:17:45 its a flag 21:18:00 by default it uses nova IPAM, flag can change it to use melange. 21:18:16 this code needs more testing though... i merge propped it to try and flush out any major concerns early. 21:18:26 as wel talked about via email. 21:18:30 vishy: sounds like a good candidate for exception ? 21:18:37 agreed 21:18:42 much appreciated 21:18:46 * Adding Volume Types to Nova Volumes (volume-type) 21:19:01 i don't think the guys working on that are here atm 21:19:17 they have all the db code done and are adding api extensions 21:19:22 re volume types : core will be ready today/tomorrow 21:19:27 ah there he is 21:19:28 vishy: how intrusive is it ? 21:19:38 jaypipes: sorry for the late response, but yes, diablo-rpb seems doable 21:19:38 should only affect nova-volume 21:20:15 vishy: your call 21:20:24 i think it should go in if it can be approved by friday 21:20:37 +1 21:20:39 if it doesn't make it by friday EOD we have to push to essex 21:20:46 * Various requirements for assigning IP addresses to XenServer guests (xs-guest-ip-addressing) 21:21:01 This one depends on Melange, and I don't think there is a pressing need to have it in Diablo, or is there ? 21:21:14 annegentle: k, gotcha 21:21:59 tr3buchet: ^ ? 21:22:10 ttx: the melange merge proposal has a number of things that need fixing IMHO. Might be very difficult to get that in for Diablo... 21:22:33 jaypipes: is it the stuff about using the nova version of utils/etc.? 21:22:54 vishy: well, I had a few more comments than just that on my review :) 21:22:59 vishy: I'm with Jay, sounds like a large drop just to be able to show it off 21:23:17 ttx: you are correct 21:23:21 vishy: I don't expect the packaging to expose it anyway, so what's the point ? 21:23:28 * Melange - IP Address Management Service (melange-ipam) 21:23:31 ttx: from my end we've got as much of it as we need at the moment 21:23:45 ok, jumping to Melange then 21:24:07 and deferring xs-guest-ip-addressing to Essex 21:24:14 ttx: so can they release an experimental package that is separate? 21:24:26 the merge to nova was just to get more eyes on it 21:25:01 vishy: I prefer that we don't do that post D4, but rather at the beginning on Essex 21:25:06 yeah it's definitely a big work in progress at the moment 21:25:10 and get eyes on it in time for the design summit 21:25:37 rather than ship half-baked code just for exposing it to the public 21:25:44 ttx: i'm ok with that 21:25:50 I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't post D4 21:26:10 ok, deferring to essex then 21:26:20 * Update Hyper-V to accommodate Diablo changes, add diff disk support (hyper-v-update) 21:26:38 sounds like bugfixes to me -- my only gripe is that I couldn't get status from JordanRinke 21:26:49 so I don't know where it's at 21:27:02 hey guys 21:27:08 i'm here 21:27:17 i haven't heard from jordan either 21:27:20 however 21:27:33 just some bits for to add 21:27:44 on the hyperv bit 21:27:58 we successfully deployed on core 21:28:04 er have 21:28:18 still have some minor issues to work out w/ networkikng 21:28:32 vishy: ok for an exception on this, but would be good to get Jordan's status ? 21:29:10 yes 21:29:16 * Volume Code cleanup (volume-cleanup) 21:30:06 how much of it is cleanup, and how destructive is the cleanup ? 21:30:38 ttx: it is separating the concerns of volume and compute 21:30:45 so compute talks to volume through the api 21:30:46 From the description, it looks a bit risky. 21:30:51 and has a plugin 21:31:05 as in "prone to introducing some weird bugs" 21:31:32 I have gotten it working functionally, I have written some tests for the new code. It did introduce bugs into live migration, which the live migration team is working on. 21:31:53 vishy: why do we want it in Diablo ? 21:32:34 ttx: let me think for a sec if there is anything requiring it 21:32:55 I think volume-cleanup-1 removing AoE support is important 21:33:00 so people don't start using it 21:33:10 vishy: is volume-types independent of volume-cleanup ? 21:33:18 in theory yes 21:33:30 aside from it having to touch the same parts of the code in some places 21:33:48 it should be separate 21:34:06 I think jaypipes had a good point when he suggested that we don't actually know that noone is using it right now. 21:34:30 soren: I guess we can't be sure. But I've never even heard of someone testing AoE 21:34:31 ...and might be expecting an upgrade path, and failing that, at least some warning before we just break their stuff. 21:34:36 let alone deploying it 21:34:41 Dunno. 21:34:48 It's an interesting topic though: 21:34:51 How do we deprecate stuff? 21:34:54 soren: how do we notify these people? 21:34:58 Exactly. 21:35:12 Even if we decided to keep AoE, but deprecate it, what does that actually mean? 21:35:16 I mean.. 21:35:21 soren: sounds like a good topic for the summit. Can you rtm it somewhere ? 21:35:25 Anyone who's talked to us knows not to use AoE :) 21:35:28 vishy: it it printing deprecated notices in the logs when you use it? then pulling next release? 21:35:42 pvo: that is what I'm trying to do with auth stuff 21:35:50 pvo: so maybe 21:36:02 ..so it's not like it's a secret that it's de facto deprecated, but we've not really published the deprecation anywhere, and there are no warnings if you choose the AoE driver.. 21:36:03 vishy: I'm not exactly a fan of this spec. Sounds a good one at the beginning of a cycle, not so much at the end :) 21:36:33 ttx: ok. I'm concerned about leaving bad code in for another 6 months 21:36:50 ttx: but you're right it has potential to be destructive 21:37:09 vishy: we all know that Essex will start being better than Diablo about two weeks after Diablo is released 21:37:45 so if it gets in to Essex early, it's not really "6 months of bad code" 21:37:57 ttx: it is for people building external software 21:37:59 vishy: We can put in the release notes that AoE is going away. 21:38:03 Don't use it. 21:38:10 soren: seems reasonable 21:38:11 ttx: It's supported for 18 months in Ubuntu.. oh golly. 21:38:35 vishy: how about adding deprecation messages in Diablo ? 21:38:36 people still use that 21:38:50 so that we have a good framework for removing it early Essex ? 21:39:06 vishy: Don't get me wrong. I want it to *die* *die* *die*, too :) 21:39:32 ok, i can put the volume-cleanup code on ice until after the release. Hopefully merging isn't too painful 21:39:47 deal :) 21:39:49 I will need to back port a couple of minor fixes that i found while i was working on the code 21:39:55 * Virtual Storage Arrays for Nova (nova-virtual-storage-array) 21:40:12 this one sounds like a good candidate for deferring, unless I miss something 21:40:23 so the main issue with VSA is that it seemed to be a little too tightly coupled 21:40:29 as in, still under heavy discussion, and could use another round of design summit 21:40:46 I've been working with them to try and separate it out, which was the main motivator for the volume type stuff 21:41:08 vishy: a bit late now, right ? 21:41:11 but they have put a lot of effort into this branch 21:41:27 how self-contained is it ? 21:41:30 yep, we are trying to "generalize" it by moving from drive types to volume types 21:41:36 and it is pretty self-contained 21:41:38 are you confident it can make it very soon ? 21:41:58 vladimir3p: did you remove the changes in nova-compute and use instance_types? 21:42:00 we can adopt al volume_type changes within next couple of days 21:42:16 yep, there are no more changes in nova-compute 21:42:29 so if they can switch to using volume-types 21:42:32 changes in nova-volume will be minimal and will depend on volume types 21:42:35 it will be one additional db table 21:42:53 and an additional self-contained worker 21:43:10 it would be completely experimental 21:43:26 My main issue with this plan is that it needs volume-types to land first 21:43:32 so I fear VSA will land *late* 21:43:48 (and I hate new features post-D4, too) 21:43:48 we could give them the same friday time table? 21:43:55 meanwhile we are on track to push it till Thu 21:44:12 the VSA merge proposal is in from beg of July 21:44:18 vladimir3p: perhaps the best plan would be to just merge the db changes 21:44:22 vladimir3p: yes, true 21:44:28 ok for Friday 21:44:37 * Administrative VMs / containers for provider services (administrative-vms) 21:44:43 then it is possible to ship the nova-vsa worker/driver/scheduler separately 21:44:45 this one is deferred though, right :) 21:44:54 yes defer that one 21:44:59 the admin VM we can definitely defer :-) 21:44:59 it is still undetermined 21:45:03 \o/ 21:45:07 * Simple Usage (simple-usage) 21:45:15 looks very selfcontaine and ready 21:45:58 I'd lean towards granting an exception 21:46:17 yes just an api extension really 21:46:26 * Validation of params in AWS API (aws-api-validation) 21:46:41 I'm a bit worried about the state of that one 21:46:48 by its own admission it's not really ready 21:46:59 though I'd like to see some validation :) 21:47:32 Oo, i didn't know anyone was working on that. 21:47:52 It's been longing for you for too long :) 21:48:15 vishy: given that it doesn't look ready, I'd defer it ? 21:48:41 ttx: It doesn't really seem like a feature to me 21:49:04 ttx: it is testing/validation related, so seems like exactly what we should be doing now 21:49:17 ttx: or am I misunderstanding the purpose of the next 3-4 weeks 21:49:19 vishy: agreed. 21:49:33 I was wondering how featureful it was 21:49:46 * Daviey will sniff that branch to see if it does as he expects. 21:49:48 but if its client validation, it can't hurt 21:50:02 last one: 21:50:04 ttx: I think it should be fine to go in without an FF exception. 21:50:04 * Admin API: server actions (admin-server-actions) 21:50:15 that is thoe one split into 3 parts? 21:50:20 vishy: yes 21:50:32 that third is the one that is supposedly implemenetd already 21:50:38 glenc: is that right ? 21:50:41 it didn't seem like they needed an exception for any specific functionality 21:50:42 that's correct 21:50:48 so is the code in already ? 21:50:54 the server (suspend/resume) is already in trunk 21:51:10 but not exposed in the API yet ? 21:51:14 there's a question as to whether or not it should be implemented as an extension 21:51:19 No, it's in the Admin API 21:51:36 the question is whether or not it should appear in /extensions since it's not part of the 1.1 spec 21:51:47 vishy: what do you think ? 21:52:02 if not, then it's completed by D4 21:52:54 per jorge w, it should be part of the official admin API spec, but we don't really have that yet 21:53:02 it is implemented in the api, used by novaclient, but isn't an extension. 21:53:17 official admin api spec? :p 21:53:52 we'll take that one offline. 21:53:59 The other two parts are planned for end of September, so deferred to Essex. 21:54:02 sorry stepped away for a sec 21:54:31 vishy: You have two D4-targeted bugs on the list: 21:54:37 bug 803654 (availability zone ignored when creating volume) without an assignee 21:54:38 Launchpad bug 803654 in nova "availability zone ignored when creating volume" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/803654 21:54:41 bug 828907 (Distributed Scheduler docs need updating), assigned to dabo 21:54:41 Launchpad bug 828907 in nova "Distributed Scheduler docs need updating" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/828907 21:54:47 Anything else that we *need* to fix before D4 release ? 21:54:56 ttx: that one's done 21:55:05 oh, cool 21:55:10 the other can go into rbp 21:55:18 bug 798876 .. i made a start on it, but i haven't been able to finish.. it would be realy nice if we can remove carrot for final release (considering kombu is already required for glance).. would anyone be able to assist? 21:55:19 Launchpad bug 798876 in nova "Consider Switching from Carrot to Kombu for AMQP" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/798876 21:55:29 i'm 95% done 21:55:41 been testing code standalone 21:55:46 need to merge it into my branch and fix tests 21:55:55 was out sick all last week, otherwise would be done by now :( 21:56:00 vishy: what's your take on that ? 21:56:18 (bug 798876 for D4 or for RBP) 21:56:18 the problem is that it will introduce a new depdendency 21:56:20 for nova 21:56:24 comstud: picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue. 21:56:30 jaypipes: no kidding 21:56:38 i can optionally.... make kombu optional 21:56:46 and keep the carrot code alongside 21:56:52 comstud: it is already a dep 21:56:52 comstud: I like that. 21:57:00 vishy: for _nova_ ? 21:57:07 nova -> glance -> kombu 21:57:10 ah 21:57:13 i suppose that's true 21:57:20 comstud: I had to use trunk kombu, do you? 21:57:21 believe me, it has caused a whole bunch of builds to fail everywhere :) 21:57:30 (which meant amqplib > 1.0.) 21:57:36 Daviey: No, I'm working successfully with whatever's in pypi 21:57:50 vishy: I believe you :) 21:57:57 ok, let's also bring that one offline so that we can rush the end of the meeting 21:58:01 comstud: Yes, sorry that is ~= trunk for what i mean't 21:58:08 it's newer than Ubuntu & Debian. 21:58:12 yes online it. 21:58:12 ahh yeah 21:58:18 #topic Incubated projects news 21:58:26 * offline 21:58:27 devcamcar, dolphm: you have one line. 21:58:30 I have more point for bug 21:58:35 We need to fix bug 828399 21:58:35 Launchpad bug 828399 in nova "Can not delete a network which is associated with a project" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/828399 21:58:42 quantum was approved for incubation today :) 21:58:48 it's almost done 21:59:00 congratulations quantum team! 21:59:09 hisaharu: cool, will add to D4 list 21:59:16 Thanks a lot 21:59:22 thanks 21:59:35 #topic Design Summit registration 21:59:49 As you all should know, we'll have our Design Summit in Boston, from Oct 3 to Oct 5. 21:59:59 It is now separate from the OpenStack Conference, which will start on the evening of Oct 5 and end on Oct 7. 22:00:11 Registration is now officially open for the Design Summit at: http://summit.openstack.org 22:00:21 There is limited room, so register early ! 22:00:29 FYI, Oct 4 is my birthday.. so I expect gifts. 22:00:35 * comstud hides now. 22:00:37 Note that developers attending the Design Summit can get a free pass to attend the OpenStack Conference, if you are interested. 22:00:49 Also, this is not for suits. Only for geeks. 22:00:58 ttx: question on that 22:01:06 primeministerp2: yes ? 22:01:15 ttx: I offered to speak re hyperv/openstack 22:01:26 primeministerp2: at the conference, right ? 22:01:33 yes 22:01:41 haven't heard anything else since that 22:01:45 I know spector knows 22:01:49 primeministerp2: ping spectorclan about it 22:01:56 thx 22:01:57 #topic Open discussion 22:02:15 a bit overtime already. anything else, anyone ? 22:02:16 I'm working on a doc sprint day in Austin, date and location to be determined, but it will be in September. 22:02:35 precise location. Secret bunker. That sort of thing. :) 22:02:55 * ttx watches the registration site crumble under load 22:03:21 closing meetingin 10 seconds 22:03:33 I know y'all are jealous of our tying the 86-year record for number of consecutive days with triple digits. 22:03:38 #endmeeting
