Hi Vilobh,
Thanks a lot for the info. I’ll refine previous spec and propose a new one soon.
Actually the AgentGroup code, as well as the db-base AgentGroup driver is almost done. It works well when testing in my OpenStack setup. Will also post the code, which may help understand why AgentGroup and tooz is useful for neutron scalability and performance. Hope to get more comments from neutron team. Thanks.
Best,
Robin

Hi Robin,
The idea sounds good to me too. I am working on refactoring ServiceGroup code. Tooz has a nice compatibility matrix which can be found here [2] which you might find useful.

Hi Kevin and Joshua,
Thanks for the review. Glad to see that oslo puts distributed coordination into its scope now. Per out of date info [1] (oslo doesn’t do it, while each project should do it separately ), specific backend (zk/memcached) manipulating is included in spec[2], as nova ServiceGroup did. Now we have tooz, then that part should be moved out of AgentGroup and let tooz take it over. Neutron AgentGroup spec needs an update, as what nova ServiceGroup refactor is doing. [3]
Per spec[3], tooz doesn’t intend to eliminate or replace ServiceGroup completely. They are integrated and co-work to provide nova ServiceGroup functionalities. That may answer the question from Kevin and Kyle, about relationship between AgentGroup and tooz. Let’s jump into [3][4]:
1) Service Group still exists;
2) Add Tooz driver for ServiceGroup, to take over zk/redis/… backend;
3) Db-based ServiceGroup driver is retained. Db driver was introduced for backward compatibility (with db-based liveness monitoring which existed for a long time before ServiceGroup was added). Since this driver uses tables and a data model that is intrinsically tied to the internal of nova, tooz cannot take it over.
4) Zk/memcached ServiceGroup drivers are temporarily retained, but will be deprecated in future;
5) Eventually, there would be two ServiceGroup drivers: db driver & tooz driver;
Actually, things are the same for neutron, except that we don’t need to consider zk/memcached driver deprecation. I would like to refine current spec and propose a ”Agent Group and using tooz” spec, following the outlines above. What do you think, Kevin and Joshua? Thanks. ☺
Best,
Robin

Hi Kevin,
Totally agree with you that heartbeat from each agent is something that we cannot eliminate currently. Agent status depends on it, and further scheduler and HA depends on agent status.
I proposed a Liberty spec for introducing open framework/pluggable agent status drivers.[1][2] It allows us to use some other 3rd party backend to monitor agent status, such as zookeeper, memcached. Meanwhile, it guarantees backward compatibility so that users could still use db-based status monitoring mechanism as their default choice.
Base on that, we may do further optimization on issues Attila and you mentioned. Thanks.

Which periodic updates did you have in mind to eliminate? One of the few remaining ones I can think of is sync_routers but it would be great if you can enumerate the ones you observed because eliminating overhead in agents is something I've been working on as well.
One of the most common is the heartbeat from each agent. However, I don't think we can't eliminate them because they are used to determine if the agents are still alive for scheduling purposes. Did you have something else in mind to determine if an agent is alive?

I'm 99.9% sure, for scaling above 100k managed node,
we do not really need to split the openstack to multiple smaller openstack,
or use significant number of extra controller machine.
The problem is openstack using the right tools SQL/AMQP/(zk),
but in a wrong way.
For example.:
Periodic updates can be avoided almost in all cases
The new data can be pushed to the agent just when it needed.
The agent can know when the AMQP connection become unreliable (queue or connection loose),
and needs to do full sync.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1438159
Also the agents when gets some notification, they start asking for details via the
AMQP -> SQL. Why they do not know it already or get it with the notification ?
