Add extra data to the Stack table for convergence¶

Include the URL of your launchpad blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/convergence-stack-data

Problem description¶

The convergence design requires extra data to be stored with each Stack row in order to manage concurrent updates.

Proposed change¶

Add the following extra fields to the Stack table:

prev_raw_template (a RawTemplate key)
current_traversal (a UUID that gets changed on each update)
current_deps (a list of edges in the dependency graph, stored as JSON)

We also need to ensure that modifications to the Stack table are atomic with respect to the current_traversal field - if a new traversal starts then any previous traversals should stop updating the stack data. This should be achieved using the “UPDATE … WHERE …” form as discussed in http://www.joinfu.com/2015/01/understanding-reservations-concurrency-locking-in-nova/

Alternatives¶

None
