TripleO has done per service venvs for a couple years now, and it
doesn't solve the fragility issue that our unbounded deps cause. It
avoids most but not all conflicting deps within OpenStack, and none of
the 'upstream broke us' cases.

Note that a lot of us (our CI included) are no longer running with
separate venvs due to the time it takes to build them.

See common-venv from
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/tripleo-ci/tree/toci_gate_test.sh#n21

Also, I don't see how this could work with distro packages (I'm not
saying there isn't a way, but I don't know what it would be), so I think
that's something I would definitely want an answer on before we decide
this is the way forward.

 Note that we are not testing per-service venvs anymore because of the

Yes, but the experience we have about the limitations of per-service

To take this topic even further from its original subject I'd just
like to remind at least myself that the reason we have problems in the
gate is because there are real problems that actually exist or will
exist soon and that catching them before they leak out is is presumably
exactly why we have a gate.

Given a lot more resources we should always pip -U and never put upper
version caps in requirements.txt. Then when stuff breaks do the good
work to untangle the mess and fix the problem. Not just for us but for
the commonweal.

Breaking stuff tends to be how stuff gets fixed.

Yes, I'm talking idealistic impractical hooey here, but I think it is
important to remember these things. So whereas earlier I said I was
keen on virtualenvs, now that I actually think about it some I think
we're better off creating a chaotic crucible of everything in one fiery
cauldron of truth and using breakage in the gate as a way of marshalling
resources.

Do I expect to see that happen? Sadly, not really.

 how to get a coherent system.

Actually buildout is precisely that today - you specify exact versions
and get them. pip's inability to duplicate that behaviour is one of
the reasons buildout is still a thing; bypassing the resolver to get
the same behaviour *for the same reasons!* isn't at all odd.
Undesirable perhaps - and we should work on pip upstream too - but not
odd.

 Agreed. Skipping the pip resolver will move OpenStack and friends further
 down into a weird world of its own rather than Python norms.

See above - I disagree. Python norms are -very- broad, and buildout
has a healthy ecosystem within Python web shops, for exactly the
issues we're trying to solve here.

 If possible we should try to resolve the complexity, not bandaid the
 problems caused by the complexity.

 If we can't do that then per service virtualenv (or even containers)
 provides a far more contained[1] bandage.

Per service virtualenvs are good IMO, but orthogonal to the unbounded
thing we have today, which we have largely *because* of pip not having
a resolver. (Thats driven by random things getting upgraded because of
transitive dependencies - caused by the resolver).

 Related: I personally find it completely bewildering that things are
 managed and run in such an unbounded fashion. My intuition is that
 this is the result of many/most projects being on the same release
 cycle and the belief that my master must integrate with your master. We
 should release (far) more often and my master should integrate with your
 lastest release.

Yes, I would like to see that, as a complement to the trunk-trunk
tests. We need to know that something we're about to release won't
break folk as well as knowing that the thing we're about to release
works with the releases of other things that are already out there.

Re: [openstack-dev] [tc][python-clients] More freedom for all python clients

2015-01-21 Thread Boris Pavlovic
Clarkb,

As Robert said, you are missing the point.

I didn't say that Rally wants this lib so it should be in global
requirements.

I asked only about python clients of stackforge projects that are regarding
all rules:
(Like py3k support, license, are in projects.txt and so on).  From my point
of view, if clients are regarding all reules there is no compatibility
issues = it is easy to add them to g-r. Am I wrong?


All,

Sorry I wasn't able to be on meeting yesterday.


First of all, we don't have any issues with having Murano/Mistral
benchmarks and testing them in gates and supporting them in our tree. (We
already have rally-dsvm-murano and rally-dsvm-mistral dsvm jobs that works
well)

The real issue is very bad user  dev experience caused by soft decencies.

Let's take a look at actions of typical user (running Murano benchamrk):
1) Try to run tests for Murano
2) Input validation error: MuranoClient is missing please install it
3) WTF???

Let's take a look at actions of end developer (writing Murano benchmark):
1) Try to make new Murano benchmark
2) Need to import some exceptions from Murano client
3) All unit tests are failing..
4) WTF???

Adding extra steps/conditions that are required for using product are
adding exponential complexity to it. So having 5 such steps/conditions will
make product inconsumable.

So the only thing that I would like is to remove one extra step by adding
good python clients to g-r.


Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic

 This model should be viable with different domains as well if we go that
 route.

 The following is not from the TC meeting but addressing other portions
 of this conversation:

 At least one concern with this option is that as the number of total
 requirements goes up is the difficulty in debugging installation
 conflicts becomes more difficult too. I have suggested that we could
 write tools to help with this. Install bisection based on pip logs for
 example, but these tools are still theoretical so I may be
 overestimating their usefulness.

 To address the community scaling aspect I think you push a lot of work
 back on deployers/users if we don't curate requirements for anything
 that ends up tagged as production ready (or whatever the equivalent
 tag becomes). Essentially we are saying this doesn't scale for us so
 now you deal with the fallout. Have fun, which isn't very friendly to
 people consuming the software. We already have an absurd number of
 requirements and management of them has appeared to scale. I don't
 foresee my workload going up if we open up the list as suggested.
 
 Perhaps I missed something, but the initial request wasn't about
 random packages, it was about other stackforge clients - these are
 things in the ecosystem! I'm glad we have technical solutions, but it
 just seems odd to me that adding them would ever have been
 controversial.

Well, I think Clark and I have different opinions of how much of a pain
unwinding the requirements are, and how long these tend to leave the
gate broken. I am happy to also put it in a somebody elses problem
field for resolving the issues. :)

Honestly, I think we're actually at a different point, where we need to
stop assuming that the sane way to deal with python is to install it
into system libraries, and just put every service in a venv and get rid
of global requirements entirely. Global requirements was a scaling fix
for getting to 10 coexisting projects. I don't think it actually works
well with 50 ecosystem projects. Which is why I proposed the domains
solution instead.

 On the pip solver side, joe gordon was working on a thing to install a
 fixed set of packages by bypassing the pip resolver... not sure how
 thats progressing.

I think if we are talking seriously about bypassing the pip resolver, we
should step back and think about that fact. Because now we're producting
a custom installation process that will produce an answer for us, which
is completely different than any answer that anyone else is getting for
how to get a coherent system.

Agreed. Skipping the pip resolver will move OpenStack and friends further
down into a weird world of its own rather than Python norms.

If possible we should try to resolve the complexity, not bandaid the
problems caused by the complexity.

If we can't do that then per service virtualenv (or even containers)
provides a far more contained[1] bandage.

Related: I personally find it completely bewildering that things are
managed and run in such an unbounded fashion. My intuition is that
this is the result of many/most projects being on the same release
cycle and the belief that my master must integrate with your master. We
should release (far) more often and my master should integrate with your
lastest release.

[1] Oh, my sides.

 We have the base infrastructure of that in devstack today with a SOFT
 requirements update -
 https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/blob/master/functions-common#L1696-L1704
 
 If you are not in projects.txt, and you set your REQUIREMENTS_MODE=soft
 in your devstack run, we will leave extra dependencies untouched.
 Probably a few more bits required to make it really easy to expose, but
 that direction is also feasable.
 
 The reason I brought up domains though is that some groups really want
 the facility to have common requirements lists across a domain. Like the
 OpenStack Docs team. They've currently inserted a ton of stuff in g-r
 that really shouldn't be there because they have a lot of git trees, and
 the synchronization is a nice feature.
 
 However, if there were domain specific lists, that would be fine. A
 collection of projects that want to coordinate could all agree on a
 domain specific set of lists, and off we go. Maybe that list wouldn't
 even need to be contained in the main repo, it could be in a sub repo so
 have different approvers.
 
This ml thread came up in the TC meeting today and I am responding here

That said, I'd like to suggest another possible workaround: in Heat we
keep resource plugins for non-official projects in the /contrib tree,
and each plugin has it's own setup.cfg and requirements.txt. For example:

http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat/tree/contrib/heat_barbican

So the user has the option to install each plugin, and it comes with its
own requirements, independent of the main Heat installation. Perhaps
Rally could consider something similar.


Seems like a very reasonable solution to me.

Thanks for bringing it up,

 I second this recommendation. If Rally wants to depend on things
 which are not part of OpenStack and not required to run or test
 OpenStack in an official capacity (and since it's not an official
 OpenStack project it's entirely within its rights to want to do
 that), then forcing it to comply with the list of requirements for
 official OpenStack projects is an unnecessarily restrictive choice.

 FWIW I don't really agree with this advice. The purpose of
 openstack/requirements is to ensure that it's possible to create a
 distribution of OpenStack without conflicting version requirements, not
 to force every project to use every dependency listed. As such, some
 co-ordination around client libraries for related projects seems like it
 ought to be an uncontroversial addition. (Obviously it's easy to imagine
 potential additions that would legitimately be highly controversial, but
 IMHO this isn't one of them.) Saying that we require people to use our
 tools to get into the club but that our tools are not going to
 accommodate them in any way until they are in sounds a bit too close to
 Go away to my ears.

I think as we grow global-requirements probably needs to be broken up
into functional lists. What's allowed in base-iass, what's allowed in
application services, what's allowed in docs, etc, etc.

The complexity of keeping the g-r list actually working goes up sort of
n^2 as the size of it, because pip doesn't have a real solver. This is a
barely functional set of plate spinning so just add everything misses
the point that the breaks get more and more difficult to unwind.

If someone is up for stepping up and contributing to breaking up into
domains, please do. But I think while this remains a global list we
really do need to be a bit careful here.

 That said, I'd like to suggest another possible workaround: in Heat we
 keep resource plugins for non-official projects in the /contrib tree,
 and each plugin has it's own setup.cfg and requirements.txt. For example:

 http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat/tree/contrib/heat_barbican

 So the user has the option to install each plugin, and it comes with its
 own requirements, independent of the main Heat installation. Perhaps
 Rally could consider something similar.
 
 Seems like a very reasonable solution to me.
 
 Thanks for bringing it up,
 -jay

I support this, it will help to not break compatibility with

stackforge project.

 It doesn't cost anything and simplifies life for everybody on stackforge.

 Having few more or less doesn't make any sense...

I believe this is not a thing for the TC to decided but the dev
community, especially the infra team, requirement's cores, etc.

What python-clients are you referring to? Are you referring to libs
that live in stackforge or dependencies for things that live in
stackforge?

Do you have an (or many) example?

Flavio,

Current 2 python clients are Mistral and Murano that I would like to use in
Rally.

I can't add them to requirements = so I need to work everywhere in
lazy-mode + print exceptions to end users
e.g. you don't have this client, so install it - which is really not user
friendly.

Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic

Why doesn't rally just remove itself from projects.txt, then there would
be no restrictions on what it adds.

Re: [openstack-dev] [tc][python-clients] More freedom for all python clients

2015-01-13 Thread Boris Pavlovic
Jeremy, Sean,


First of all because I would like to make a Rally official part of
OpenStack and if I remove
Rally from project.txt this won't happen.

On other side I would like to make OpenStack better. And OpenStack includes
as well
projects on StackForge. That for some reason were rejected. In my opinion
all projects
in equal portion deserver good testing framework.
And I as PTL of Rally would like to adopt it for everybody.


P.S. It's sad that in one thread we are talking about making Big Tenant and
how it is cool
to remove programs. In another we are blocking adding python clients from
projects
that are not Core and suggesting another making incompatible with
OpenStack.


Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic

The big tent proposal is not just a free-for-all, and will entail
most of the same barriers to entry for officialness as you currently
see for programs (aside from addresses similar needs as a current
official team). Quality control and selectiveness of design will
still be extremely important, and I don't see our
openstack/requirements tooling, workflow and choices changing
significantly in the face of that.
