alexchadinvincentfrancoise: hi07:29
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: morning07:29
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: how are you?07:29
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: great and you?07:30
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: I'm ok :)07:30
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: I'd like to discuss background-jobs-ha with you07:30
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: ok (I have 15mn before my daily scrum)07:30
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/449659/1/watcher/db/sqlalchemy/job_store.py line 7207:31
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: what about the pickling?07:31
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: job_state contains 'func' key that is only reference to the method of class07:32
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: so when we add our jobs to db, apscheduler saves only link, not object07:32
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: it means that when we get job from db, we get the following error: TypeError: unbound method launch_audits_periodically() must be called with ContinuousAuditHandler instance as first argument (got nothing instead)07:33
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: fair enough. Cause ContinuousAuditHandler object is not initialised07:33
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: I propose to make ContinuousAuditHandler like singleton07:34
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: hum let me fully understand the problem07:34
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: I kind of get what you mean but I need to read the code to make more sense out of what you told me just now :p07:35
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: we save only link like watcher.decision_engine.audit.continuous:ContinuousAuditHandler.launch_audits_periodically07:35
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: ok ok07:35
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: ok so why is it not an object when it gets serialized?07:41
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: the way I understand is that what seems to be serialized is the actual class instead of the instance07:41
alexchadinapscheduler don't save instance or class, only a link to them07:42
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: here is launch of function after getting it from db: https://github.com/agronholm/apscheduler/blob/master/apscheduler/executors/base.py#L12507:43
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: oh ok so can't we re-initialize them when we unpickle them?07:43
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: as you can see, it tries to launch function without init07:43
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: I thought about it, but IMHO it isn't right way07:44
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: We will get a lot of ContinuousAuditHandler instances07:44
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: IMHO, ContinuousAuditHandler should be init once07:44
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: I need to go so let's meet later07:50

vincentfrancoisealexchadin: pong08:36
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: sorry I left for my meeting and forgot to tell you08:37
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: no worries08:37
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: ok so if I resume from where we left08:40
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: I agree that creating many instances isn't a good option08:41
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: DE instantiate ContinuousAuditHandler only once for now08:42
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: since they would all instantiate a self.scheduler08:42
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: +108:42
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: so IMHO, we either make the ContinuousAuditHandler a singleton08:43
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: or we make the BackgroundScheduler a singleton08:43
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: then the other problem I saw08:45
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: the "from apscheduler.schedulers import background" import in continuous.py should not be done like this08:45
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: I vote for the first option since rewriting BackgroundScheduler may call some collisions08:46
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: all background schedulers in Watcher should instead inherit from https://github.com/openstack/watcher/blob/master/watcher/common/scheduling.py#L2608:46
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: not rewriting08:46
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: IMHO, they should all rely on DecisionEngineSchedulingService https://github.com/openstack/watcher/blob/master/watcher/decision_engine/scheduling.py#L3508:48
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: and then DecisionEngineSchedulingService should actually be a singleton08:48
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: you suggest to inherit DecisionEngineSchedulingService?08:49
openstackgerritHidekazu Nakamura proposed openstack/watcher master: [WIP] Cinder model integration  https://review.openstack.org/45064208:52
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: this https://github.com/openstack/watcher/blob/master/watcher/decision_engine/audit/continuous.py#L4608:52
*** thorst has quit IRC08:52
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: should be a DecisionEngineSchedulingService instance08:52
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: ok08:52
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: and we should modify DecisionEngineSchedulingService to make it a singleton08:52
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: because right now it seems we already have 2 background scheduler running at the same time08:53
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: ah, yeah I see that BackgroundSchedulerService inherit background.BackgroundScheduler08:53
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: yeah that's why08:53
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: good point, let's see what we can do with it:)08:53
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: problem is that it will probably break many tests08:54
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: because adding singletons usually creates test dependencies08:54
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: but how we can run job then? it will still tries to run launch_audits_periodically without instantiating ContinuousAuditHandler08:55
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: so maybe you'll have to add a cleanup that would destroy the background scheduler singleton instance everytime to avoid that08:55
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: ah yeah so once this is done, I suggest we make launch_audits_periodically a classmethod08:57
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: the self.scheduler can then be replaced by an instantiation that would do nothing if the singleton is already created08:57
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: launch_audits_periodically adds self.execute_audit as method to execute08:57
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: ah I missed that one...08:58
alexchadinvincentfrancoise: there are dependencies after dependencies...08:58
vincentfrancoisealexchadin: ok so let me think about another solution then09:00
alexchadinI'll be back soon09:00

aspiershi all, is there a concise summary anywhere of the difference between Watcher and Neat? If not, it would be really helpful to create one10:51
*** alexchadin has joined #openstack-watcher10:52
aspiersit seems that Neat is only focusing on VM consolidation, right? but seems to have done some great work in that area10:58
aspiersit seems a shame that they implemented it as a separate project though10:59
aspiersI wonder why that happened10:59

vincentfrancoiseaspiers: hi11:39
aspiershi vincentfrancoise11:39
vincentfrancoiseaspiers: just read about the comparison with openstack neat11:40
vincentfrancoiseaspiers: basically they were focusing on the consolidation whereas watcher has taken a more generic path to address any goal11:41
vincentfrancoiseaspiers: also I didn't test it by their only algorithm is bin packing, which is also the case for basic_consolidation in Watcher11:42
vincentfrancoiseaspiers: and at the time, the solution wasn't really well maintained and it seemed the project was dying out11:44
vincentfrancoiseaspiers: so it made more sense for us to start from a clean slate (at least that's what what I was told when I also asked the question)11:45
*** thorst has joined #openstack-watcher11:45
aspiersoh, so Neat came first? interesting11:45
vincentfrancoiseaspiers: as for explaining the difference, since they were not within the openstack big tent or even partially integrated within the community, we didn't really bother11:46
vincentfrancoiseaspiers: if you look closely into the readme, you can see this is a PhD project and I assume the guy just dropped the project at the end of it11:48
aspiersvincentfrancoise: seems that there has been very little activity since 2013 https://github.com/beloglazov/openstack-neat/graphs/contributors11:50
aspiersthe guy now works for Google, so I assume he's not working on OpenStack any more11:50
aspiersthat's a shame11:50
aspiersnot much activity here either https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openstack-neat11:51

aspiersyes it looks impressive15:48
aspiersI met this guy https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~mkarsten/ earlier this year - he is interested in this field and was asking about Neat, Watcher etc.15:49
alexchadinaspiers: I've studied Anton's work, some of his suggests was used to build Nova-LoadBalancer, which then has been integrated into Watcher15:50
alexchadinaspiers: Martin is welcome here!15:51

alexchadinaspiers: great! We are appreciate fresh looks and minds :)15:52
