Swift in Kolla

Overview

Kolla can deploy a full working Swift setup in either a all-in-one or multinode setup.

Prerequisites

Before running Swift we need to generate rings, which are binary compressed files that at a high level let the various Swift services know where data is in the cluster. We hope to automate this process in a future release.

Swift also expects block devices to be available for storage. To prepare a disk for use as Swift storage device, a special partition name and filesystem label need to be added. So that Kolla can detect those disks and mount for services.

Follow the example below to add 3 disks for an all-in-one demo setup.

# <WARNING ALL DATA ON DISK will be LOST!>
index=0
for d in sdc sdd sde; do
    parted /dev/${d} -s -- mklabel gpt mkpart KOLLA_SWIFT_DATA 1 -1
    sudo mkfs.xfs -f -L d${index} /dev/${d}1
    (( index++ ))
done

For evaluation, loopback devices can be used in lieu of real disks:

index=0
for d in sdc sdd sde; do
    free_device=$(losetup -f)
    fallocate -l 1G /tmp/$d
    losetup $free_device /tmp/$d
    parted $free_device -s -- mklabel gpt mkpart KOLLA_SWIFT_DATA 1 -1
    sudo mkfs.xfs -f -L d${index} ${free_device}p1
    (( index++ ))
done

Disks without a partition table

Kolla also supports unpartitioned disk (filesystem on /dev/sdc instead of /dev/sdc1) detection purely based on filesystem label. This is generally not a recommended practice but can be helpful for Kolla to take over Swift deployment already using disk like this.

Given hard disks with labels swd1, swd2, swd3, use the following settings in ansible/roles/swift/defaults/main.yml.

swift_devices_match_mode: "prefix"
swift_devices_name: "swd"

Rings

Run following commands locally to generate Rings for all-in-one demo setup. The commands work with disks with partition table example listed above. Please modify accordingly if your setup is different.

export KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS=1.2.3.4
export KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO=centos
export KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE=binary

# Object ring
docker run \
  -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
  kolla/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base \
  swift-ring-builder /etc/kolla/config/swift/object.builder create 10 3 1

for i in {0..2}; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kolla/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/object.builder add r1z1-${KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS}:6000/d${i} 1;
done

# Account ring
docker run \
  -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
  kolla/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base \
  swift-ring-builder /etc/kolla/config/swift/account.builder create 10 3 1

for i in {0..2}; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kolla/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/account.builder add r1z1-${KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS}:6001/d${i} 1;
done

# Container ring
docker run \
  -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
  kolla/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base \
  swift-ring-builder /etc/kolla/config/swift/container.builder create 10 3 1

for i in {0..2}; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kolla/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/container.builder add r1z1-${KOLLA_INTERNAL_ADDRESS}:6002/d${i} 1;
done

for ring in object account container; do
  docker run \
    -v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
    kolla/${KOLLA_BASE_DISTRO}-${KOLLA_INSTALL_TYPE}-swift-base swift-ring-builder \
    /etc/kolla/config/swift/${ring}.builder rebalance;
done

Similar commands can be used for multinode, you will just need to run the add step for each IP in the cluster.

For more info, see http://docs.openstack.org/kilo/install-guide/install/apt/content/swift-initial-rings.html

Deploying

Enable Swift in /etc/kolla/globals.yml:

enable_swift : "yes"

Once the rings are in place, deploying Swift is the same as any other Kolla Ansible service. Below is the minimal command to bring up Swift all-in-one, and it's dependencies:

ansible-playbook \
  -i ansible/inventory/all-in-one \
  -e @/etc/kolla/globals.yml \
  -e @etc/kolla/passwords.yml \
  ansible/site.yml \
  --tags=rabbitmq,mariadb,keystone,swift

Validation

A very basic smoke test:

$ swift stat
