Thank you, Gordon for your reply.

In your patch I see that you are setting the isolation_level to REPEATABLE_READ. We are trying to change the isolation level to READ_COMMITTED.
I like to refer you to this performance article[1] that determines that READ_COMMITTED is usually better than REPEATABLE_READ.

In addition, maybe an additional reason for your slowness is that you do it when you get the connection - so you do an extra DB command that sets the isolation level.
My patch is changing the default isolation level for all connections upfront.

we had this in ceilometer events. you can see it here: https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer/commit/898cd3d036c4358aa16f7b3e2028365dc9829213

note, that patch is removing it because it slowed everything way down because of locking. if you can avoid it, avoid it.

Hi,

Moshe, thanks a lot for bringing this up. I remember I tried to find a way to change isolation level per connection but also was unable to do that.

An advice from oslo team would be very helpful.

Hi,

We at Mistral want to move from the default transaction isolation level of REPEATABLE READ to READ COMMITTED as part of a bugfix[1].

I did not find a way to pass the isolation level to sqlachemy using oslo.db and the current solution is to use monkey-patching[2] that adds the "isolation_level" property.

Is there currently a better way to set the default isolation level?
If not - I will create a BP for it.

Thanks.
