[dev] [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

[Tomaz Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

Hello all,

It has been a while since we released the last version in November. A bunch
of changes have piled up in trunk so I decided to create a new release
(0.12.0 - r1439036) which includes many new features, bug-fixes and
improvements. It contains everything from trunk except the "datacenter"
related changes.

Datacenter changes are partly backward incompatible and still work in
progress so I have decided to exclude them from this release. They should
be finished in the near future (yay!) and included in the next major
release.

I have manually reverted those changes (it was a pretty time consuming
PITA) so I would appreciate if everyone can spend some extra time testing
those changes and make sure I haven't broke anything in the drivers listed
bellow. I did spend quite a lot of time testing it myself, but it's
possible that I've missed something.

- Rackspace compute drivers
- CloudFiles storage drivers
- EC2 compute drivers

Release artifacts can be found at http://people.apache.org/~tomaz/libcloud/.

Release highlights:

- New more efficient generator based approach for iterating over paginated
collections.

- Old ENUM style provided constants have been replaced with a string
version. This allows users to dynamically register new providers using new
set_driver method.

- New generator based method for iterating over containers
(iterate_containers).

- Support for multipart uploads in the Amazon S3 storage driver.

- New load balancer driver for Amazon Load Balancing (ELB) service.

Full change log can be found at
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/libcloud/tags/0.12.0/CHANGES?revision=r1439036&view=markup

Please test the release and post your votes.

+/- 1
[  ]  Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

Vote closes on Sunday, February 3rd, 2013 at 12:00 PST.

Thanks,

Yeah, I probably didn't express myself correctly (didn't want to imply that
your tests / code is worse than other drivers and tests).

Your latest patch fixes the blocking issue in ELB and Route53 driver so
it's good to be included in the next release.

I agree, we have been doing a better job with having tests for edge cases
lately, but there is still a lot of work to be done here.

Great point about the driver contributor point of the view. This should be
solved in two ways:

1. Documentation which explains the right inputs and how to contribute
compute / dns / storage / lb driver
2. Tests which ensure that the code is correct (like you have said above)

Re: [dev] [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

[John Carr <jo...@me.com>]

Actually, the tests for route53/elb are about as good as the other load balancers and dns drivers. And the branch I mention wouldn't have caught this particular problem anyway, well at least not at this stage. I didn't mean to imply that I thought more work was needed before Route53/ELB could be unleashed.

I wanted to be further along before I shared this branch, but as i've gone and brought it up.. here is what I have been thinking about:

I started working on a branch to look at the tests for libcloud as a whole because I think we can do better. I'm starting with ELB because i'm more familiar with it and because there aren't many load balancer implementations.

There were 2 core issues I wanted to address:

 * Generally speaking, project wide the tests actually do a poor job of validating the parameters we send to the server (i.e. to the mock). I found a couple of checks here and there, but IMO nowhere near enough (this is why I brought the branch up). As an example, I can change the rackspace dns drivers in ways that would break deleting zones and records, but without breaking the tests. One is simply to change the method from DELETE to PUT, POST, GET, whatever. Like wise I can break EC2's destroy_node function without causing the tests to fail (by not actually passing the InstanceId list into params). These are contrived examples, but it doesn't take much to break a driver. Indeed, a real world example is that the generic response refactor broke the ELB driver and at the time I was too confident in the tests.

 * As an implementor, I find myself unsure if I have implemented the interfaces properly. Sure the arguments are kind of the same and I can definitely make my new class work, but that doesn't mean it behaves enough like the other implementations to not just be a PITA for the libcloud users. Hypothetically for example, what if one implementation of DNSDriver.create_record took 'www' and another took 'www.example.com' and another took 'www.example.com.'. Our tests don't prevent that, but I think they should strive to.

My goal ATM is to write one "gold standard" test for the load balancer core features. If a load balancer can't do something another can then we either need to add a feature flag for it or block it for all load balancers. If as a new contributor I came to add a new load balancer i would sub class the core tests and then write a Driver and Mock that makes those tests pass. This will require mocks that do more that return hard coded data.

I've pushed my progress so far to GitHub in the Jc2k/test-proposal branch, but it's very early on and i've only looked at the ELB mock so far. Next I will do the same for another load balancer and then merge the common tests together to create TestBaseLoadBalancer.

Obviously if this works, i'd want to push it beyond the load balancers. But baby steps.

ETA is 'a while' - very busy atm.

John

Re: [dev] [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

[Tomaz Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

What is the ETA for this patch (improved tests)?

We do our best to avoid half working / broken code in stable releases which
means that depending on the patch EA, we have the following options:

1. Wait for the patch, start a new voting thread for 0.12.1 which includes
this patch

2. Don't expose ELB driver in the next release

Both of this options also mean canceling an existing 0.12.0 voting thread
and starting a new thread for a new release (0.12.1) which will include one
of the changes mentioned above.

In any case, thanks for the heads up.

P.S. When you are submitting a patch in the future, please try to generate
it against trunk branch (I will manually backport it to 0.12.x).

Re: [dev] [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

[John Carr <jo...@me.com>]

I checked out the 0.12 branch, ran the normal tests and (for the drivers i submitted) then hacked the example scripts to run against AWS.

Have submitted patches for the bits that fell out.

I have some vastly improved tests for ELB that im working on, but they won't be ready for 0.12.0.

Re: [dev] [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

[Tomaz Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

Just FYI - I've started a new voting thread for 0.12.1 release. This
release includes everything which went into 0.12.0 release + a bunch of
other goodies and fixes.

Re: [dev] [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

[Tomaz Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

Just wanted to let everyone know I will wait a couple of more days before
creating a new release (0.12.1).

There are a couple of more smaller patches out there which I would like to
get into next release, but they still need to be reviewed and merged.

If you upload the latest patch with tests to JIRA ticket we can get it into
0.12.1 :)

Was hoping to get Azure storage driver in before the next release.
Am done with the code and test-cases.
Not sure if it can be reviewed and checked in before the next release.

[dev] Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.0

[Tomaz Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

We found some minor issues with ELB and Route53 driver so I'm closing this
voting thread.

I will roll up a new release (0.12.1) with the fixes for the previously
mentioned issues and start a new voting thread when it's ready.
