Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-06-05 Thread Paul Ward

Carl,

I haven't been able to try this yet as it requires us to run a pretty  
big scale

test.

But to try to summarize the current feeling on this thread... the  
retry logic is

being put into the neutronclient already (via
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/71464/), it's just that it's not  
"automatic" and
is being left up to the invoker to decide when to use retry.  The idea  
of doing

the retries automatically isn't the way to go because it is dangerous for
non-idempotent operations.

So... I think we leave the proposed change as is and will potentially need to
enhance users as we see fit.  The invoker in our failure case is nova trying
to get network info, so this seems like a good first one to try out.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
  Paul

Paul,

I'm curious.  Have you been able to update to a client using requests?
 Has it solved your problem?

Hi Paul,

Just out of curiosity, I am assuming you are using the client that
still relies on httplib2. Patch [1] replaced httplib2 with requests,
but I believe that a new client that incorporates this change has not
yet been published. I wonder if the failures you are referring to
manifest themselves with the former http library rather than the
latter. Could you clarify?

Thanks,
Armando

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-06-02 Thread Carl Baldwin
+1.  After reading through this thread, I think that a blind --retries
N could be harmful and unwise given the current API definition.  Users
that need a retry for an SSL error are going to get in to the habit of
adding --retries N to all their calls and they'll end up in trouble
because they really should be taking action on the particular error
that occurs, not just retrying on any error.

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-29 Thread Kevin Benton
Httplib2 does very little directly with ssl other than a wrap_socket call.
Unless requests has special ssl error handling and retry logic, it will be
exposed to the same set of underlying errors from the ssl library so a
retry that at least catches socket and ssl errors is a good idea.

mishandling of SSL was the very reason why I brought that change

Yes, we're still on a code level that uses httplib2.  I noticed that as
well, but wasn't sure if that would really

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-29 Thread Armando M.
Hi Paul,

Just out of curiosity, I am assuming you are using the client that
still relies on httplib2. Patch [1] replaced httplib2 with requests,
but I believe that a new client that incorporates this change has not
yet been published. I wonder if the failures you are referring to
manifest themselves with the former http library rather than the
latter. Could you clarify?

Thanks,
Armando

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-29 Thread Paul Ward

Well, for my specific error, it was an intermittent ssl handshake error
before the request was ever sent to the
neutron-server.  In our case, we saw that 4 out of 5 resize operations
worked, the fifth failed with this ssl
handshake error in neutronclient.

I certainly think a GET is safe to retry, and I agree with your statement
that PUTs and DELETEs probably
are as well.  This still leaves a change in nova needing to be made to
actually a) specify a conf option and
b) pass it to neutronclient where appropriate.

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-28 Thread Aaron Rosen
Hi,

I'm curious if other openstack clients implement this type of retry thing.
I think retrying on GET/DELETES/PUT's should probably be okay.

What types of errors do you see in the neutron-server when it fails to
respond? I think it would be better to move the retry logic into the server
around the failures rather than the client (or better yet if we fixed the
server :)). Most of the times I've seen this type of failure is due to
deadlock errors caused between (sqlalchemy and eventlet *i think*) which
cause the client to eventually timeout.

Best,

Aaron

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-28 Thread Paul Ward

Would it be feasible to make the retry logic only apply to read-only
operations?  This would still require a nova change to specify the number
of retries, but it'd also prevent invokers from shooting themselves in the
foot if they call for a write operation.

It's just one of many bugs that are unavoidable consequences of APIs that

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-27 Thread Aaron Rosen
Hi,

Is it possible to detect when the ssl handshaking error occurs on the
client side (and only retry for that)? If so I think we should do that
rather than retrying multiple times. The danger here is mostly for POST
operations (as Eugene pointed out) where it's possible for the response to
not make it back to the client and for the operation to actually succeed.

Having this retry logic nested in the client also prevents things like nova
from handling these types of failures individually since this retry logic
is happening inside of the client. I think it would be better not to have
this internal mechanism in the client and instead make the user of the
client implement retry so they are aware of failures.

This sounds like a bug in nova, nova should be able to handle intermittent

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-27 Thread Eugene Nikanorov
In fact, nova should be careful about changing number of retries for
neutron client.
It's known that under significant load (people test serial VM creation)
neutron client may timeout on POST operation which does port creation;
retrying this again leads to multiple fixed IPs assigned to a VM

Thanks,
Eugene.

Great!  Do you know if there's any corresponding nova changes to support
this as a conf option that gets passed in to this new parm?

There is a review to address this in place now [1]. I've given a -1
due to a trivial reason which I hope Jakub will address soon so we can
land this patch in the client code.

[openstack-dev] [neutron] Supporting retries in neutronclient

2014-05-27 Thread Paul Ward


Currently, neutronclient is hardcoded to only try a request once in
retry_request by virtue of the fact that it uses self.retries as the retry
count, and that's initialized to 0 and never changed.  We've seen an issue
where we get an ssl handshaking error intermittently (seems like more of an
ssl bug) and a retry would probably have worked.  Yet, since neutronclient
only tries once and gives up, it fails the entire operation.  Here is the
code in question:

https://github.com/openstack/python-neutronclient/blob/master/neutronclient/v2_0/client.py#L1296

Does anybody know if there's some explicit reason we don't currently allow
configuring the number of retries?  If not, I'm inclined to propose a
change for just that.___
