Commit Message

Ted Elhourani Jan. 4, 2019, 2:16 a.m. UTC
The Python IDL implementation supports ovsdb cluster connections.
This patch is a follow up to commit 31e434fc98, it adds the option of
connecting to the leader (the default) in the Raft-based cluster. It mimics
the exisiting C IDL support for clusters introduced in commit 1b1d2e6daa.

The _Server database schema is first requested, then a monitor of the
Database table in the _Server Database. Method __check_server_db verifies
the eligibility of the server. If the attempt to obtain a monitor of the
_Server database fails and a cluster id was not provided this implementation
proceeds to request the data monitor. If a cluster id was provided via the
set_cluster_id method then the connection is aborted and a connection to a
different node is instead attempted, until a valid cluster node is found.
Thus, when supplied, cluster id is interpreted as the intention to only
allow connections to a clustered database. If not supplied, connections to
standalone nodes, or nodes that do not have the _Server database are
allowed. change_seqno is not incremented in the case of Database table
updates.

Hi Ted,

This patch is failing the below test cases for me. All are python3 related.
Can you please
take a look if that's the case with you as well ?

Can you please add the "leader_only" arg at the end. Older clients of
python idl would
break if they were creating Idl object as
my_idl = Idl(remote, helper, 1000)

Instead of the "if - else", how about just
self.cluster_id = cluster_id

Can cluster_id be passed as an integer by the caller ?

The function name seems a bit confusing.
This function   returns True if the server has "_Server" table and if it
is a clustered db, additional checks are done.
May be this function can be broken in 2 separate functions ?
One to check if the server supports '_Server' db and other to check
the status of cluster.

I think it would be good if we have few test cases which starts a cluster
of ovsdb-server's and then
   -verify if the client has connected to the cluster leader
   - bring down the leader and check if the client connects to the new
leader.

These failures are not related to this patch. Please ignore. There seems to
be some issues with python3.7 with unicode
in Fedora 29 and I think Timothy  is planning to submit a patch to fix
these failures.

**********

These failures are not related to this patch. Please ignore. There seems to be some issues with python3.7 with unicode
in Fedora 29 and I think Timothy  is planning to submit a patch to fix these failures.

Thanks
Numan

All tests are passing with Python 3.4.8 & Python 2.7.5 on my machine, no skips except for daemon.at<http://daemon.at/> (windows skip).



Please see some comments below.

Thanks
Numan

The Python IDL implementation supports ovsdb cluster connections.
This patch is a follow up to commit 31e434fc98, it adds the option of
connecting to the leader (the default) in the Raft-based cluster. It mimics
the exisiting C IDL support for clusters introduced in commit 1b1d2e6daa.

The _Server database schema is first requested, then a monitor of the
Database table in the _Server Database. Method __check_server_db verifies
the eligibility of the server. If the attempt to obtain a monitor of the
_Server database fails and a cluster id was not provided this implementation
proceeds to request the data monitor. If a cluster id was provided via the
set_cluster_id method then the connection is aborted and a connection to a
different node is instead attempted, until a valid cluster node is found.
Thus, when supplied, cluster id is interpreted as the intention to only
allow connections to a clustered database. If not supplied, connections to
standalone nodes, or nodes that do not have the _Server database are
allowed. change_seqno is not incremented in the case of Database table
updates.

Instead of the "if - else", how about just

Can cluster_id be passed as an integer by the caller ?

Since it is a substring of the UUID we can expect any client code to pass it as a string. I’ll fix in the next revision.

The function name seems a bit confusing.
This function   returns True if the server has "_Server" table and if it
is a clustered db, additional checks are done.
May be this function can be broken in 2 separate functions ?
One to check if the server supports '_Server' db and other to check
the status of cluster.

We are already checking for _Server support in the state machine, with the get-schema transaction (send_server_schema_request). This function is supposed to be identical to
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/ovsdb-idl.c#L1815
If the server supports  _Server then the next step is to check if the Database table contains a row with a matching cid or db name if the client code did not set the cid (then of course the other columns for validity, e.g. leader). The table check "if self._server_db_table not in self.server_tables” adds to the confusion, and might be unnecessary. This function is checking the content of the Database table to determine the admissibility of the server. I’ll be happy to re-arrange if you still see a reason to split the check in two.

I think it would be good if we have few test cases which starts a cluster of ovsdb-server's and then
   -verify if the client has connected to the cluster leader
   - bring down the leader and check if the client connects to the new leader.


I wrote 2 tests, I’ll include them in the next revision.

I'm getting the following reports from flake8 when I apply this patch.
Can you fix those up for v3?

Sure, I fixed and verified with “make flake8-check”.
