[RFE] support new pagination mechanism for the nova simple-tenant-usage API
Last modified: 2017-05-17 15:36:24 EDT
To avoid memory bloat issues in the nova-api workers, the nova project is planning to add pagination logic to the simple-tenant-usage API extension in Ocata: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/paginate-simple-tenant-usage In order to avoid continuing to DOS the nova-api tier, Horizon will need to support this new pagination scheme by traversing between pages via the next link, then subsequently stitching back up the response such that the server_usages list for each tenant is made whole (such lists may cross page boundaries under the proposed solution).
Notes for using the API: https://github.com/dianaclarke/openstack-notes/wiki/simple%20tenant%20usage Places that will probably need changing: https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/92972d4d1483dc3876416a9269ac529d43537980/openstack_dashboard/api/nova.py#L164 https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/92972d4d1483dc3876416a9269ac529d43537980/openstack_dashboard/usage/base.py#L252 https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/92972d4d1483dc3876416a9269ac529d43537980/openstack_dashboard/usage/base.py#L259 Upstream blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/simple-tenant-usage-pagination
A draft patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/410337/ We still need to resolve a problem with specifying the API version https://review.openstack.org/#/c/410688/ and make Horizon load the correct microversion of the Nova API. We also need to write tests for all this.
This feature is not visible to the users and as such can't be easily tested. The improvements in performance are not visible in small scale deployments.
