Lightweight Stack loading for convergence¶

Include the URL of your launchpad blueprint:

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

Problem description¶

When we load the resources for a stack from the database, we load all of them at once. We also assume that resource names are unique within a stack (i.e. there is only one version of each resource). In convergence there will be multiple versions of each resource coexisting in the same stack, and we’ll want to load only the one we’re going to perform operations on at any given time.

Proposed change¶

Allow the stack to provide cached values for all of the get_resource and get_attr references in the template when they are resolved. Don’t load the whole list of resources when this cached data is available.

Alternatives¶

Continue to load every resource from the database whenever we need resource ID or attribute data.

Work Items¶

Substitute reading from a cache for loading resources when resolving template functions

Dependencies¶

The cached values will be obtained by the code for https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/convergence-push-data
