Tripleo RPC and Notification Messaging Support
|
||||
==============================================
|
||||
|
||||
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/tripleo
|
||||
|
||||
This specification proposes changes to tripleo to enable the selection
|
||||
and configuration of separate messaging backends for oslo.messaging
|
||||
RPC and Notification communications. This proposal is a derivative of
|
||||
the work associated with the original blueprint [1]_ and specification
|
||||
[2]_ to enable dual backends for oslo.messaging in tripleo.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the groundwork to enable dual backends was implemented during
|
||||
the pike release and the introduction of an alternative messaging
|
||||
backend (qdrouterd) service was made. Presently, the deployment of this
|
||||
alternative messaging backend is accomplished by aliasing the rabbitmq
|
||||
service as the tripleo implementation does not model separate
|
||||
messaging backends.
|
||||
|
||||
Problem Description
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
The oslo.messaging library supports the deployment of dual messaging
|
||||
system backends for RPC and Notification communications. However, tripleo
|
||||
currently deploys a single rabbitmq server (cluster) that serves as a
|
||||
single messaging backend for both RPC and Notifications.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To support two separate and distinct messaging backends, tripleo needs
|
||||
to "duplicate" the set of parameters needed to specify each messaging
|
||||
system. The oslo.messaging library in OpenStack provides the API to the
|
||||
messaging services. It is proposed that the implementation model the
|
||||
RPC and Notification messaging services in place of the backend
|
||||
messaging server (e.g. rabbitmq).

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Introducing the separate messaging services and associated parameters in place
|
||||
of the rabbitmq server is not a major rework but special consideration
|
||||
must be made to upgrade paths and capabilities to ensure that existing
|
||||
configurations are not impacted.
|
||||
|
||||
Having separate messaging backends for RPC and Notification
|
||||
communications provides a number of benefits. These benefits include:
|
||||
|
||||
* tuning the backend to the messaging patterns
|
||||
* increased aggregate message capacity
|
||||
* reduced applied load to messaging servers
|
||||
* increased message throughput
|
||||
* reduced message latency
|
||||
* etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Proposed Change
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
A number of issues need to be resolved in order to express RPC
|
||||
and Notification messaging services on top of the backend messaging systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
The proposed change is similar to the concept of a service "backend"
|
||||
that is configured by tripleo. A number of existing services support
|
||||
such a backend (or plugin) model. The implementation of a messaging
|
||||
service backend model should account for the following requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
* deploy a single messaging backend for both RPC and Notifications
|
||||
* deploy a messaging backend twice, once for RPC and once for
|
||||
Notifications
|
||||
* deploy a messaging backend for RPC and a different messaging backend
|
||||
for Notifications
|
||||
* deploy an external messaging backend for RPC
|
||||
* deploy an external messaging backend for Notifications
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, the parameters that were required for deployment of the
|
||||
rabbitmq service should be duplicated and renamed to "RPC Messaging"
|
||||
and "Notify Messaging" backend service definitions. Individual backend
|
||||
files would exist for each possible backend type (e.g. rabbitmq,
|
||||
qdrouterd, zeromq, kafka or external). The backend selected will
|
||||
correspondingly define the messaging transport for the messaging
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
* transport specifier
|
||||
* username
|
||||
* password (and generation)
|
||||
* host
|
||||
* port
|
||||
* virtual host(s)
|
||||
* ssl (enabled)
|
||||
* ssl configuration
|
||||
* health checks
|
||||
|
||||
Tripleo should continue to have a default configuration that deploys
|
||||
RPC and Notifications messaging services on top of a single rabbitmq
|
||||
backend server (cluster). Tripleo upgrades should map the legacy
|
||||
rabbitmq service deployment onto the RPC and Notification messaging
|
||||
services model.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatives
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration of separate messaging backends could be post
|
||||
overcloud deployment (e.g. external to tripleo framework). This would
|
||||
be problematic over the lifecycle of deployments e.g. during upgrades etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Security Impact
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The deployment of dual messaging backends for RPC and Notification
|
||||
communications should be the same from a security standpoint. This
|
||||
assumes the backends have parity from a security feature
|
||||
perspective, e.g authentication and encryption.
|
||||
|
||||
Other End User Impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the configuration of the messaging backend deployment,
|
||||
there could be a number of end user impacts including the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* monitoring of separated messaging backend services
|
||||
* understanding differences in functionality/behaviors between different
|
||||
messaging backends (e.g. broker versus router, etc.)
|
||||
* handling exceptions (e.g. different places for logs, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
Performance Impact
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Using separate messaging systems for RPC and Notifications should
|
||||
have a positive impact on performance and scalability by:
|
||||
|
||||
* separating RPC and Notification messaging loads
|
||||
* increased parallelism in message processing
|
||||
* increased aggregate message transfer capacity
|
||||
* tuned backend configuration aligned to messaging patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Other Deployer Impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The deployment of hybrid messaging will be new to OpenStack
|
||||
operators. Operators will need to learn the architectural differences
|
||||
as compared to a single backend deployment. This will include capacity
|
||||
planning, monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance best practices.
|
||||
|
||||
Developer Impact
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Discuss things that will affect other developers working on OpenStack.

||||

messaging_notify_node_names or similar
|

Dependencies
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
Testing
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
In order to test this in CI, an environment will be needed where separate
|
||||
messaging system backends (e.g. rabbitMQ server and dispatch-router
|
||||
server) are deployed. Any existing hardware configuration should be
|
||||
appropriate for the dual backend deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation Impact
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
The deployment documentation will need to be updated to cover the
|
||||
configuration of the separate messaging (RPC and Notify) services.
