Class ConfdClient

source code

Send queries to confd, and get back answers.

Since the confd model works by querying multiple master candidates, and getting back answers, this is an asynchronous library. It can either work through asyncore or with your own handling.

__init__(self, hmac_key, peers, callback, port=None, logger=None)
(Constructor)

source code 

Constructor for ConfdClient

Parameters:
  • hmac_key (string) - hmac key to talk to confd
  • peers (list) - list of peer nodes
  • callback (f(ConfdUpcallPayload)) - function to call when getting answers
  • port (integer) - confd port (default: use GetDaemonPort)
  • logger (logging.Logger) - optional logger for internal conditions

UpdatePeerList(self, peers)

source code 

Update the list of peers

Parameters:
  • peers (list) - list of peer nodes

_PackRequest(self, request, now=None)

source code 

Prepare a request to be sent on the wire.

This function puts a proper salt in a confd request, puts the proper salt, and adds the correct magic number.

SendRequest(self, request, args=None, coverage=0, async=True)

source code 

Send a confd request to some MCs

Parameters:
  • request (objects.ConfdRequest) - the request to send
  • args (tuple) - additional callback arguments
  • coverage (integer) - number of remote nodes to contact; if default (0), it will use a reasonable default (ganeti.constants.CONFD_DEFAULT_REQ_COVERAGE), if -1 is passed, it will use the maximum number of peers, otherwise the number passed in will be used
  • async (boolean) - handle the write asynchronously

HandleResponse(self, payload, ip, port)

source code 

Asynchronous handler for a confd reply

Call the relevant callback associated to the current request.

FlushSendQueue(self)

source code 

Send out all pending requests.

Can be used for synchronous client use.

ReceiveReply(self, timeout=1)

source code 

Receive one reply.

Parameters:
  • timeout (float) - how long to wait for the reply
Returns: boolean
True if some data has been handled, False otherwise

_NeededReplies(peer_cnt)
Static Method

source code 

Compute the minimum safe number of replies for a query.

The algorithm is designed to work well for both small and big number of peers:

  • for less than three, we require all responses
  • for less than five, we allow one miss
  • otherwise, half the number plus one

This guarantees that we progress monotonically: 1->1, 2->2, 3->2, 4->2, 5->3, 6->3, 7->4, etc.

Parameters:
  • peer_cnt (int) - the number of peers contacted
Returns: int
the number of replies which should give a safe coverage

WaitForReply(self, salt, timeout=constants.CONFD_CLIENT_EXPIRE_TIMEOUT)

source code 

Wait for replies to a given request.

This method will wait until either the timeout expires or a minimum number (computed using _NeededReplies) of replies are received for the given salt. It is useful when doing synchronous calls to this library.

Parameters:
Returns: tuple
a tuple of (timed_out, sent_cnt, recv_cnt); if the request is unknown, timed_out will be true and the counters will be zero
