Hello Friends,
|
||
|
||
We are now going into the Newton cycle of Searchlight and I would be honored
|
||
if you’ll allow me to continue serving in the PTL role.
|
||
|
||
Searchlight has come a long way in the Mitaka cycle and it is certainly due
|
||
to some passionate work from a small, but expanding team of contributors.
|
||
|
||
With the release of Mitaka, we will have:
|
||
|
||
* Unified search across:
|
||
* Nova instances
|
||
* Glance images, snapshots, metadefs
|
||
* Cinder volumes, snapshots
|
||
* Neutron networks, ports, subnets, routers
|
||
* Designate (DNS) Zones, recordsets
|
||
* Swift container and object search (Experimental)
|
||
* Horizon search panel (plugin)
|
||
* CLI via an OpenStack client plugin
|
||
* Zero downtime re-indexing
|
||
|
||
In Newton, I believe our goals are to:
|
||
|
||
* Do everything we can to make Searchlight performant and production ready.
|
||
|
||
We need to work with other service teams to improve the notifications they
|
||
send so that we can reduce the number of API callbacks. In addition, we need
|
||
to improve the functional and integration test coverage. Finally, this also
|
||
means that we need to make tough decisions regarding features.
|
||
|
||
* Make search a central part of the Horizon UI experience.
|
||
|
||
In Mitaka, the Horizon Searchlight panel introduced an entirely
|
||
new experience for Horizon which opened a lot of eyes to how
|
||
impactful search can be to the entire development paradigm. At the
|
||
OpenStack bug smash day, I delivered a presentation detailing
|
||
this direction and I encourage everybody interested in Searchlight and
|
||
Horizon to watch it.

|
||
|
||
* Expand our searchable content
|
||
|
||
* Finish the notification forwarding work
|
||
|
||
* Enable new contributors and build build our core team
|
||
|
||
Last cycle I posted my thoughts on what being a PTL meant. Others, such as
|
||
Flavio have very eloquently written about the PTL role. In this email,
|
||
I will simply say that I am not the only person on the team who could do
|
||
a great job as PTL for the Newton cycle, but I thank you for your consideration
|
||
in allowing me to continue serving in this role.
|
||
|
||
Thank you,
|
