Switch to OSLO Messaging

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Trove-rpc-versioning

This blueprint is to document the project to switch trove to use OSLO Messaging.

Problem Description

Get Trove on the same page w/ other projects + oslo. This will require refactoring the rpc layer

Prevent backward incompatibility between Trove components

  • The rpc client can send an older version of a message/call to a newer message handler without issue.

  • The rpc client can send a newer version of a message/call to an older message handler without killing it (need to confirm this).

  • The rpc client can check to see if it can send a newer version of a message/call.

  • Reduce the need for downtime during deployments.

** Effectively allows for a mix of versions between the control plane

and guest agents (in most cases). There may still be updates that will require down time.

Proposed Change

  • Remove rpc common components from oslo incubator?

  • Use oslo messaging library

** The minimum version will be picked from global-requirements. At the

time of this writing, it’s >= 1.4.0

  • Keep track of a “version history” in comments in the code

  • Update trove calls to the openstack.common.rpc client to include a version cap param. (This is already supported in the client)

** Trove API –> Task Manager ** Trove API –> Guest Agent ** Guest Agent –> Conductor ** Task Manager –> Conductor ** Document the use cases and examples of how to add/modify API calls

Configuration

oslo.messaging has been designed to be backwards compatible config-wise. All the config compatibilities will be kept until all the projects have been migrated to oslo.messaging.
