Hi, Kevin and Joshua,

As my understanding, Tooz only addresses the issue of agent status
management, but how to solve the concurrent dynamic load impact on large
scale ( for example 100k managed nodes with the dynamic load like
security goup rule update, routers_updated, etc )

Yes, that is correct, let's not confuse status/liveness management with updates... since IMHO they are to very different things (the latter can be eventually consistent IMHO will the liveness 'question' probably should not be...).


And one more question is, if we have 100k managed nodes, how to do the
partition? Or all nodes will be managed by one Tooz service, like
Zookeeper? Can Zookeeper manage 100k nodes status?

I can get u some data/numbers from some studies I've seen, but what u are talking about is highly specific as to what u are doing with zookeeper... There is no one solution for all the things IMHO; choose what's best from your tool-belt for each problem...


Best Regards

Timestamps are just one way (and likely the most primitive), using redis
(or memcache) key/value and expiry are another (and letting memcache or
redis expire using its own internal algorithms), using zookeeper
ephemeral nodes[1] are another... The point being that its backend
specific and tooz supports varying backends.

Very cool. Is the backend completely transparent so a deployer could
choose a service they are comfortable maintaining, or will that change
the properties WRT to resiliency of state on node restarts, partitions, etc?

The Nova implementation of Tooz seemed pretty straight-forward, although
it looked like it had pluggable drivers for service management already.
Before I dig into it much further I'll file a spec on the Neutron side
to see if I can get some other cores onboard to do the review work if I
push a change to tooz.

So IIUC tooz would be handling the liveness detection for the agents.
That would be nice to get ride of that logic in Neutron and just
register callbacks for rescheduling the dead.

Where does it store that state, does it persist timestamps to the DB
like Neutron does? If so, how would that scale better? If not, who does
a given node ask to know if an agent is online or offline when making a
scheduling decision?

However, before (what I assume is) the large code change to implement
tooz, I would like to quantify that the heartbeats are actually a
bottleneck. When I was doing some profiling of them on the master branch
a few months ago, processing a heartbeat took an order of magnitude less
time (<50ms) than the 'sync routers' task of the l3 agent (~300ms). A
few query optimizations might buy us a lot more headroom before we have
to fall back to large refactors.


Sure, always good to avoid prematurely optimizing things...

Although this is relevant for u I think anyway:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/138607/ (same thing/nearly same in nova)...

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/172502/ (a WIP implementation of the
latter).

One of the most common is the heartbeat from each agent. However, I
don't think we can't eliminate them because they are used to determine
if the agents are still alive for scheduling purposes. Did you have
something else in mind to determine if an agent is alive?


Put each agent in a tooz[1] group; have each agent periodically
heartbeat[2], have whoever needs to schedule read the active members of
that group (or use [3] to get notified via a callback), profit...
