Improve Corosync and Pacemaker management
==========================================
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/pacemaker-improvements [1]_
A next iteration of Corosync & Pacemaker improvements required by scaling
requirements, better Pacemaker management and new OS support.
Problem description
===================
The current Pacemaker implementation has some limitations:
* Doesn't allow to deploy a large amount of OpenStack Controllers
* Operations with CIB utilizes almost 100% of CPU on the Controller
* Corosync shutdown process takes a lot of time
* No support of new OSes as CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 14.04
* Current Fuel Architecture is limited to Corosync 1.x and Pacemaker 1.x
* Puppet service provider for pacemaker doesn't disable Upstart or SystemV
services by default
* At current implementation ordering between resources is not specified
* Diff operations against Corosync CIB require to save data to file rather
than keep all data in memory
* Debug process of OCF scripts is not unified requires a lot of actions from
Cloud Operator
* Not granular enough
* Openstack services are not managed by Pacemaker
* Compute nodes aren't in Pacemaker cluster, hence, are lacking a viable
control plane for their's compute/nova services.
Proposed change
===============
* Support Fuel Controllers with Corosync 2.0 packages
* Get the puppet corosync module from puppetlabs and integrate it
* Rename OCF resources. Remove __old from resource names
* Refactor service provider and include disabling of the same services under
systemd/upstart/system v
* Refactor provider and remove diff operation from files
* Add wrapper handler for OCF scripts or unify debug handling of OCF scripts
* Move pacemaker & corosync installation to own stage. Create own corosync.pp
to make it more granular
Permissive change:
* Add all openstack services to pacemaker and make ordering
* Use monit as compute nodes' services additional control plane
Alternatives
------------
All changes are not critical and doesn't affect deployment or Cluster
Operation
Data model impact
-----------------
None
REST API impact
---------------
None
Upgrade impact
--------------
* Since Resources will be renamed Upgrade process should delete old resources
on upgrade and delete new resource names on roll back.
* Corosync 2.x is NOT compatible with previous versions of Corosync (1.3/1.4).
Please make sure to upgrade all nodes at once (full-downtime patching)
Security impact
---------------
None
Notifications impact
--------------------
None
Other end user impact
---------------------
None
Performance Impact
------------------
* Deployment process will be improved and will require less time as CIB
operations will not require 100% CPU time
* Corosync 2.0 has a lot of improvements that allow to have up to 100
Controllers. Corosync 1.0 scales up to 10-16 node
Other deployer impact
---------------------
None
Developer impact
----------------
* Enchanced pacemaker provider requires some refactoring of puppet manifests
in Fuel Library manifests:
- Upstream corosync manifests will replace our in-memory diff invention to
standard approach: crm or pcs or cibadmin --patch '<xml patch>' directly.
- Renaming vip primitives could require additional orchestration refactoring
as well.
* New Pacemaker/monit control plane for Openstack services would require
appropriate changes in manifests as well.

Work Items
----------
Mandatory items:
* Replace Corosync 1.0 with Corosync 2.0
* Synchronize corosync manifest with puppetlabs
* Refactor puppet service core provider. It should:
- Disable systemd/upstart/system V when corosync system
provider is enabled
* Redesing puppet manifests to start all OCF scripts via
Wrapper
Permissive items:
* Add openstack services to Pacemaker
* Configure ordering between services in Pacemaker
* Configure monit for compute nodes' Openstack services
Dependencies
============
* Corosync 2.x packages
* Monit packages
Testing
=======
* Standard swarm testing are required.
* Manual HA testing is required.
* Rally testing is preffered but not mandatory.
* New control plane for Openstack services requires manual testing.
* New debug wrappers for OCF require manual testing.
Acceptance criteria
-------------------
* Openstack clouds deployed by Fuel are passing OSTF tests with
Corosync 2.0 and new Pacemaker/monit control plane for services,
if any.
* Debug wrappers for OCF do produce enough information but aren't too
verbouse as well.
* VIP resources do not contain an _old postfix in their names.
* Upstart/system V control plane is disabled for services managed via
Pacemaker OCF.
Documentation Impact
====================
* High Availability guide should be reviewed. For Ubuntu, crm tool stays
as is, but documentation should be as well enhanced with pcs
equivivalents for Centos
* Upgrade/Patching impact should be described - corosync 2.0 upgrading
assumes full downtime for cloud
* Changes to OCF debugging approach with bash wrappers should be described
* Renaming of VIP resources should be mentioned
* In case of Openstack services become managed by Pacemaker + monit, related
changes for their new control plane should be described
