2. it can be confusing coz not clear to what type version belongs
(possible add "type" field in version).
also if you have default type, then specified version recognizes as
version of default type (no lookup in version.datastore_type_id)
but i think we can do lookup in version.datastore_type_id before pick
default.
4. if default version is need, then it should be specified in db, coz
switching via versions can be frequent and restart service to reload
config all times is not good.

I don't understand how allowing the user to only pass the version
would confuse anyone. Could you elaborate?

Hmm. Does anyone remember the reason for this?

If 'active' is allowed to be set for multiple rows of the
'datastore_versions' table then it isn't a good substitute for the
functionality I'm seeking, which is to allow operators to specify a
*single* default version for each datastore_type in the database. I
still think we should still add a 'default_version_id' field to the
'datastore_types' table.
Thanks,
Tim

1. Good point
2. Got this case in irc, and decided to pass type and version together
to avoid confusing.
3. Names of types and maybe versions can be good, but in irc
conversation rejected this case, i cant remember exactly reason.
4. Actually, "active" field in version marks it as default in type.
Specify default version in config can be usefull if you have more then
one active versions in default type.
But how match active version in type depends on operator`s
configuration. And what if "default version in config" will marked as
inactive?

Hello fellow Trovians,
There has been some good work recently to figure out a way to specify
a specific datastore when using Trove. This is essential to
supporting multiple datastores from the same install of Trove.
I have an issue with some elements of the proposed solution though,
so I decided I'd start a thread here so we could talk about it.
As a quick refresher, here is the blue print for this work (there are
some gists ammended to the end but I figured the mailing list would
be an easier venue for discussion):
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Trove/trove-versions-types
One issue I have is with the way the instance create call will change
to support different data stores. For example, here is the post call:
"""
{
"instance" : {
"flavorRef" : "2",
"name" : "as",
"datastore_type" : "e60153d4-8ac4-414a-ad58-fe2e0035704a",
"datastore_version" : "94ed1f9f-6c1a-4d6e-87e9-04ecff37b64b",
"volume" : { "size" : "1" }
}
}
"""
1. I think since we have two fields in the instance object we should
make a new object for datastore and avoid the name prefixing, like this:
"""
{
"instance" : {
"flavorRef" : "2",
"name" : "as",
"datastore": {
"type" : "e60153d4-8ac4-414a-ad58-fe2e0035704a",
"version" : "94ed1f9f-6c1a-4d6e-87e9-04ecff37b64b"
}
"volume" : { "size" : "1" }
}
}
"""
2. I also think a datastore_version alone should be sufficient since
the associated datastore type will be implied:
"""
{
"instance" : {
"flavorRef" : "2",
"name" : "as",
"datastore": {
"version" : "94ed1f9f-6c1a-4d6e-87e9-04ecff37b64b"
}
"volume" : { "size" : "1" }
}
}
"""
3. Additionally, while a datastore_type should have an ID in the
Trove infastructure database, it should also be possible to pass just
the name of the datastore type to the instance call, such as "mysql"
or "mongo". Maybe we could allow this in addition to the ID? I think
this form should actually use the argument "type", and the id should
then be passed as "type_id" instead.
"""
{
"instance" : {
"flavorRef" : "2",
"name" : "as",
"datastore": {
"type" : "mysql",
"version" : "94ed1f9f-6c1a-4d6e-87e9-04ecff37b64b"
}
"volume" : { "size" : "1" }
}
}
"""
4. Additionally, in the current pull request to implement this it is
possible to avoid passing a version, but only if no more than one
version of the datastore_type exists in the database.
I think instead the datastore_type row in the database should also
have a "default_version_id" property, that an operator could update
to the most recent version or whatever other criteria they wish to
use, meaning the call could become this simple:
"""
{
"instance" : {
"flavorRef" : "2",
"name" : "as",
"datastore": {
"type" : "mysql"
}
"volume" : { "size" : "1" }
}
}
"""
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tim
