Fix the Import Cycle Between log and versionutils

Include the URL of your launchpad blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/fix-import-cycle-log-and-versionutils

Break the import cycle so we can release oslo.log.

Problem description

There is a circular dependency between versionutils and the logging code, which are slated to be released in separate libraries. We need to break the cycle to allow oslo.log to graduate this cycle.

Proposed change

Move the ContextAdapter.deprecated() method to a function in versionutils with the other deprecation-related code. That means moving the fatal_deprecations configuration option, and updating all callers.

The proposed function signature is:

# versionutils.py

def deprecation_warning(msg, *args, **kwds):
    """Call this function when a deprecated feature is used.

     If the system is configured for fatal deprecations then the message
     is logged at the 'critical' level and :class:`DeprecatedConfig` will
     be raised.

     Otherwise, the message will be logged (once) at the 'warn' level.

     :raises: :class:`DeprecatedConfig` if the system is configured for
              fatal deprecations.

     """

To maintain the current logging behavior, deprecation_warning() will look up the stack one level to get the module name, ask for the logger with that name, and then use it to emit the message (instead of having a single logger with the name of the versionutils module).

Move fatal_deprecations out of the default option group to the deprecation group, with appropriate deprecation settings to honor the old name if it is found.

Update versionutils.deprecated() to call deprecation_warning() instead of LOG.deprecated().

Alternatives

  1. Change the implementation of the deprecated() decorator in versionutils to not call LOG.deprecated(). That might mean duplicating the logic from LOG.deprecated().

  2. Move most of the body of LOG.deprecated() to versionutils but keep the method. This limits the number of changes we have to make in the callers, but means that oslo.log depends on oslo.versionutils. We can eliminate the circular dependency by having the function in versionutils use python’s standard logger instead of oslo.log. This seems to be in keeping with the API changes for oslo.log above.

Both alternative solutions fix the cycle, but require that we keep LOG.deprecated() and our special ContextAdapter. We are trying to remove that class in another blueprint related to graduating oslo.log.

Impact on Existing APIs

Callers of LOG.deprecated() will need to be updated to use versionutils.deprecation_warning() instead.

For backwards compatibility and slow adopters, we will keep ContextAdapter.deprecated() in the log setup code in the incubator but it will be removed from oslo.log when that module graduates.

Security impact

None

Performance Impact

None

Configuration Impact

Move fatal_deprecations out of the default option group to the versionutils group.

Developer Impact

The API for reporting deprecated code and features will be moving to a new place, so we will need to publicize the change. The apps can be updated when syncing changes to the logging and versionutils code from the incubator.

Most callers use the deprecated() decorator instead anyway.
