Open Stack

Thanks a lot for bringing up this theme! I'm interested in working on online
data migration in Mitaka.

3.      Database migration

a.      Online schema migration was done in Liberty release, any work left
to do?

The work here is finished. The only thing is that I'm aware of is some
extra tests https://review.openstack.org/#/c/220091/. But this needs some
Alembic changes. All main functionality is implemented.

b.      TODO: Online data migration to be introduced in Mitaka cycle.

                                                    i.     Online data
migration can be done during normal operation on the data.

                                                   ii.     There should be
also the script to invoke the data migration in the background.

c.      Currently the contract phase is doing the data migration. But since
the contract phase should be run offline, we should move the data migration
to preceding step. Also the contract phase should be blocked if there is
still relevant data in removed entities.

                                                    i.     Contract phase
can be executed online, if there is all new code running in setup.

d.      The other strategy is to not drop tables, alter names or remove the
columns from the DB – what’s in, it’s in. We should put more attention on
code reviews, merge only additive changes and avoid questionable DB
modification.

Unfortunately sometimes we may need such changes, despite we always tried
to avoid it. As plugins were moved out of Neutron it can be easier now, but
I'm still not sure we can have restriction.

e.      The Neutron server should be updated first, in order to do data
translation between old format into new schema. When doing this, we can be
sure that old data would not be inserted into old DB structures.
