Datastore Registration API

Blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/trove/+spec/datastore-registration-api

The proposal is to introduce a new Management API that facilitates a the datastore registration on an existing Trove Deployment

Problem Description

Today, the only means of adding/registering a datastore/datastore-version on an existing deployment is to use some sequence of trove-manage (datastore_update, datastore_version_update) to add a datastore followed by adding the datastore-version with its image.

Another problem with this process is one needs to have access to the trove-api server from where one can execute trove-manage, alteratively one needs direct access to database if the want to by-pass trove-manage and add the entries by using an insert/update command to tables, both of these methods requires to relax the security of trove-api/database server for direct access to operator/deployer.

One more problem that lies with registering datastores is we need to use multiple commands to register a new datastore with an image-id.

Use Cases

  • As a deployer, I want to be able to add new datastores through the Trove management API, without having to log in to the Trove control plane and manually running a trove-manage command.

Proposed Change

Following functionalities would be added as part of the change::
  • Add/register a new datastore version.

  • Get a list of datastore-versions.

  • Get information about an existing datastore-version.

  • Update image/manager/packages/active/default for an existing datastore version.

  • Delete an existing datastore version.

While registering a datastore version, we would create a datastore with the requested datastore_name, if it does not exists.

These functionalities would only be available to an admin user who would access the APIs via an admin tenant.

Internal API

No internal API changes.

Guest Agent

No Guest Agent changes.

Alternatives

The current alternative is use trove-manage or use database directly, but both these methods need relaxation on access-policies of api/db servers which has its own security implications.

Milestones

Liberty-2

Work Items

  • Implement API routes

  • Implement management API

  • Implement unit-tests

Upgrade Implications

None.

Dependencies

There is an ongoing work to associate flavors with datastore versions(https://review.openstack.org/#/c/109824).

It has to be noted once we have these flavor-mappings in place, there would be two available options while deleting a datastore-version:

  • Don’t delete datastore-version if it has any flavor-mappings.

  • Delete the flavor-mappings along with the datastore-versions.

Testing

Unit tests will be added to cover non-trivial code paths.

Documentation Impact

Management API’s documentation would be updated with new API.

None.
