Hi, Carl Baldwin, Doug Wiegley, Matt Kassawara, Ryan Moats, and myself are at the QA sprint in Fort Collins. Earlier today there was a discussion about the failure rate about the DVR job, and the possible impact that it is having on the gate.
Ryan has a good patch up that shows the failure rates over time: https://review.openstack.org/223201 To view the graphs, you go over into your neutron git repo, and open the .html files that are present in doc/dashboards - which should open up your browser and display the Graphite query. Doug put up a patch to change the DVR job to be non-voting while we determine the cause of the recent spikes: https://review.openstack.org/223173 There was a good discussion after pushing the patch, revolving around the need for Neutron to have DVR, to fit operational and reliability requirements, and help transition away from Nova-Network by providing one of many solutions similar to Nova's multihost feature. I'm skipping over a huge amount of context about the Nova-Network and Neutron work, since that is a big and ongoing effort. DVR is an important feature to have, and we need to ensure that the job that tests DVR has a high pass rate. One thing that I think we need, is to form a group of contributors that can help with the DVR feature in the immediate term to fix the current bugs, and longer term maintain the feature. It's a big task and I don't believe that a single person or company can or should do it by themselves. The L3 group is a good place to start, but I think that even within the L3 team we need dedicated and diverse group of people who are interested in maintaining the DVR feature. Without this, I think the DVR feature will start to bit-rot and that will have a significant impact on our ability to recommend Neutron as a replacement for Nova-Network in the future. -- Sean M.
