Hi, all
Currently I'm working on spec at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/90172/4
which return the status of the hypervisor node. Per the comments, including
comments from operator, this is a welcome features. As in
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/90172/4/specs/juno/return-status-for-hypervisor-node.rst#77
, I try to return the status as "up", "down", "disabled", which is in fact a
mix of corresponding service's status and state.
However, there are some disagreement on how to return the status. For
example, should we return both the 'status' and 'state', and should we return
the 'disabled reason' if the corresponding service is disabled.
I have several questions that want to get feedback from the community:
a) Why do we distinguish he service 'status' and 'state'? What's the exact
difference of 'state' and 'status' in English? IMHO, a service is 'up' when
enabled, and is 'down' when either disabled or when temporally lost the
heartbeat.
b) The difference of the hypervisor node status and service status. I know the
relationship of 'node' and 'host' in still under discussion
(http://junodesignsummit.sched.org/event/a0d38e1278182eb09f06e22457d94c0c#.U2fy3PldWrQ
), do you think the node status and the service status is in scope of this
discussion? Or I should simply copy the status/state/disabled_reason in the
hypvisor_node status? Would it be possible that in some virt driver, one
hypervisor node can have its own status value different with the service value?
Thanks
