I do agree with you that removing duplicated code, reducing cyclomatic
complexity and writing test case is much better. However, those tasks require
certain programing skills and knowledge of the code. I have interns that have
never worked with Java, spring*, web applications and Eclipse/Netbeans.
Therefore, I am starting introducing simple and pretty easy tasks, so they can
get comfortable working on a huge project such as ACS. It takes a while to get
used to working with tools such as Eclipse, Maven and Git.
We are at the very beginning of my thesis. Most of them are not ready to
start writing TDDs and refactoring methods. The ones that are, we already did
some pretty interesting PRs: #560, #700 and #762.

> We have noticed that every single class that is a subclass of
> “ComponentLifecycleBase” instantiate their on “logger” manually and uses a
> nonstandard name. We fixed that by changing the variable in
> “ComponentLifecycleBase” to protected and non-static and instantiated it
> using the method “getClass” from Object class. Therefore, we can reduce the
> code in a few hundred lines and use a more intuitive name for the logger
> variable.
> We do understand that “s_ something“ is a proper way to instantiate a static
> variable in ACS classes. However, in few of the subclasses of
> “com.cloud.utils.component.ComponentLifecycleBase” it was used names such as
> “LOGGER” (that is a proper name for static field as JAVA standards), log,
> status_logger and others.
> What we propose is to change the logger variable in
> “com.cloud.utils.component.ComponentLifecycleBase” to protected and remove
> its static and final declaration. Therefore we did the following in
> ComponentLifecycleBase:
> protected Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass());
> This way, every single subclass of ComponentLifecycleBase, when
> instantiated would automatically have a logger instance for its proper class
> ready to be used.
> During that process we found a static method in class that used the
> “s_logger” variable in classes:
> com.cloud.network.element.VirtualRouterElement
> org.apache.cloudstack.network.element.InternalLoadBalancerElement
> To fix that we proposed to create a new class
> “com.cloud.network.element.HAProxyLBRule”, instantiate it with @Componente
> and inject into the aforementioned classes.
> That class will contain the following methods extracted from
> com.cloud.network.element.VirtualRouterElement class:
> com.cloud.network.element.HAProxyLBRule.containsOnlyNumbers(String, String)
> com.cloud.network.element.HAProxyLBRule.validateHAProxyLBRule(LoadBalancingRule)
> However we don't know if all analyzed classes are singletons, if some of
> analyzed classes aren't singletons. Therefore that change could have an
> impact on memory consumption. It will require a deeper analysis to check
> which classes are singleton or not and leave the “logger” as static in such
> classes.
> We have a solution at our own branch
> https://github.com/rafaelweingartner/cloudstack/tree/master-lrg-cs-hackday-003
> However, there is still the need to double-check the singleton problem.
> There is a PR we created in our first attempt to solve that problem:
> https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/714
> The dev that starts working on this ticket can reach us at any moment, hence
> that we have mapped all of ComponentLifecycleBase subclasses that use the
> logger variable.
