Update DataModel by Nova Notifications

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/watcher/+spec/update-datamodel-by-nova-notifications

Problem description

Watcher has a Compute DataModel(CDM) which includes all the info about instances and nodes. Nova will emit notifications when instances or nodes change their states. So Watcher can consume Nova notifications to update its CDM. Now Watcher just consider several notifications, there are more notifications need to be used, such as instance poweron/poweroff.

Use Cases

As a Watcher developer, I want to consume Nova notifications to update CDM.

Proposed change

We define a functional dict to map the notification and CDM. for example:

def InstanceDelete(payload):
    pass

def InstanceUpdate(payload):
    pass

funcdict = {
    'instance.delete.end': InstanceDelete,
    'instance.update': InstanceUpdate,
    }

def updateCDM(instancetype, payload):
    func = funcdict.get(instancetype)
    if func:
        func(payload)

We can classify notifications based on the impact on CDM:

  • Add or update instance in CDM:

    • instance.create.end

    • instance.lock

    • instance.unlock

    • instance.pause.end

    • instance.power_off.end

    • instance.power_on.end

    • instance.resize_confirm.end

    • instance.restore.end

    • instance.resume.end

    • instance.shelve.end

    • instance.shutdown.end

    • instance.suspend.end

    • instance.unpause.end

    • instance.unrescue.end

    • instance.unshelve.end

    • instance.rebuild.end

    • instance.rescue.end

    • instance.update

    • instance.live_migration_force_complete.end

    • instance.live_migration_post_dest.end

  • Remove instance from CDM

    • instance.delete.end

    • instance.soft_delete.end

  • Add or update node in CDM

    • service.create

    • service.update

  • Remove node from CDM

    • service.delete
