Hey OpenStackers, We're currently in the process of discussing what to do with OpenStack's reliance on Gnocchi, and at present it is looking like we are most likely to just fork it back under a new name (currently Farfalle to stick with the pasta theme). The discussion is mostly happening here: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/744592/ But for those running Gnocchi in prod, this is likely something you may want to know about and we'd like to hear from you. A bit of history: Gnocchi started off as a new backend for Ceilometer in OpenStack, and eventually become the defacto API for telemetry samples when that was removed from Ceilometer (as backed by MongoDB). Gnocchi was eventually spun off outside of OpenStack, but still essentially remained our API for telemetry despite not being an official part of OpenStack anymore. Since then the development around it seems to have stalled, with pull requests left unreviewed, CI broken, and even the domain for the docs lapsing once. They have essentially said the project is unmaintained themselves: https://github.com/gnocchixyz/gnocchi/issues/1049 Given that OpenStack telemetry relies on it, we needed to decide what to do. We tried talking to the devs which spun it off outside of OpenStack, but they seem disinclined to interact with the OpenStack community, or move the project back to our infra/governance despite OpenStack looking like the only consumers of Gnocchi as a project. We want to find a solution, and the feeling is that they don't. So we've opted to fork it back and now the discussion is how to approach that fork. The OpenStack community doesn't want to maintain a time series database, but our telemetry API is part of it. We are putting it under non-OpenStack namespace to start, but we need to decide what the long term place for it should be. Do we want to make it an official project again? Do we keep it just as an API and drop the time series DB part for another DB? Do we build a new API back into Ceilometer and switch to a different backend like InfluxDB? We don't know yet, and we want some input from people who use the service so we can hopefully work with OpenStack telemetry as a whole and figure out what the long term picture is. If Gnocchi matters to you at all, or you use it, we want to hear from you. Cheers, Adrian Turjak
