Hi, Here is the status update / focus setting mail about notification work for week 12. Bugs ---- [Medium] https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1657428 The instance notifications are sent with inconsistent timestamp format. Fix is ready for the cores to review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/421981 Versioned notification transformation ------------------------------------- Most of the transformation patches are in merge conflict. There is a patch to avoid such trivial merge conflicts in the future: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/448225/ Pre-add functional tests stub to notification testing The following patches are needed for searchlight to be able to switch to versioned notifications hence they are in focus: * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/401992/ Transform instance.volume_attach notification * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/408676/ Transform instance.volume_detach notification Searchlight integration ----------------------- changing Searchlight to use versioned notifications ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ https://blueprints.launchpad.net/searchlight/+spec/nova-versioned-notifications bp is a hard dependency for the integration work. Searchlight needs instance.volume_attach and instance.volume_detach notifications to be transformed before they can switch to the nova's versioned notifications. So we treat those transformation patches with priority. bp additional-notification-fields-for-searchlight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Patches needs review: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/label:Code-Review%253E%253D1+status:open+branch:master+topic:bp/additional-notification-fields-for-searchlight The BlockDeviceMapping addition to the InstancePayload has been proposed: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/448779/ [WIP] Add BDM to InstancePayload Other items ----------- Short circuit notification payload generation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Test coverage is still needed for the nova patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/428260/ Weekly meeting -------------- The notification subteam holds it's weekly meeting on Tuesday 17:00 UTC on openstack-meeting-4 so the next meeting will be held on 28th of March https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20170328T170000 Please note that most of Europe switched to daylight saving time this weekend but the meeting is booked in UTC.
