Normalize the weights instead of using raw values
The weight system is being used by the scheduler and the cells code. Currently this system is using the raw values instead of normalizing them. This makes difficult to properly use multipliers for establishing the relative importance between two wheighers (one big magnitude could shade a smaller one). This change introduces weight normalization so that: - From an operator point of view we can prioritize the weighers that we are applying. The only way to do this is being sure that all the weighers will give a value in a known range, so that it is not needed to artificially use a huge multiplier to prioritize a weigher. - From a weigher developer point of view, somebody willing to implement one has to care about 1) returning a list of values, 2) setting the minimum and maximum values where the weights can range, if they are needed and they are significant for the weighing. For a weigher developer there are two use cases: Case 1: Use of a percentage instead of absolute values (for example, % of free RAM). If we compare two nodes focusing on the percentage of free ram, the maximum value for the weigher is 100. If we have two nodes one with 2048 total/1024 free, and the second one 1024 total/512 free they will get both the same weight, since they have the same % of free RAM (that is, the 50%). Case 2: Use of absolute values. In this case, the maximum of the weigher will be the maximum of the values in the list (in the case above, 1024) or the maximum value that the magnitude could take (in the case above, 2048). How this maximum is set, is a decision of the developer. He may let the operator choose the behaviour of the weigher though. - From the point of view of the scheduler we ensure that it is using normalized values, and not leveraging the normalization mechanism to the weighers. Changes introduced this commit: 1) it introduces weight normalization so that we can apply multipliers easily. All the weights for an object will be normalized between 0.0 and 1.0 before being sumed up, so that the final weight for a host will be: weight = w1_multiplier * norm(w1) + w2_multiplier * norm(w2) + ... 2) weights.BaseWeigher has been changed into an ABC so that we enforce that all weighers have the expected methods. 3) weights.BaseWeigher.weigh_objects() does no longer sum up the computer weighs to the object, but it rather returns a list that will be then normalized and added to the existing weight by BaseWeightHandler 4) Adapt the existing weighers to the above changes. Namely - New 'offset_weight_multiplier' for the cell weigher nova.cells.weights.weight_offset.WeightOffsetWeigher - Changed the name of the existing multiplier methods. 5) unittests for all of the introduced changes. Implements blueprint normalize-scheduler-weights DocImpact: Now weights for an object are normalized before suming them up. This means that each weigher will take a maximum value of 1. This may have an impact for operators that are using more than one weigher (currently there is only one weigher: RAMWeiger) and for operators using cells (where we have several weighers). It is needed to review then the multipliers used and adjust them properly in case they have been modified. Docimpact: There is a new configuration option 'offset_weight_multiplier' in nova.cells.weights.weight_offset.WeightOffsetWeigher Change-Id: I81bf90898d3cb81541f4390596823cc00106eb20

Weights
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Filter Scheduler uses so-called **weights** during its work.
|
||||
Filter Scheduler uses the so called **weights** during its work. A weigher is a
|
||||
way to select the best suitable host from a group of valid hosts by giving
|
||||
weights to all the hosts in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
The Filter Scheduler weights hosts based on the config option
|
||||
In order to prioritize one weigher against another, all the weighers have to
|
||||
define a multiplier that will be applied before computing the weight for a node.
|
||||
All the weights are normalized beforehand so that the multiplier can be applied
|
||||
easily. Therefore the final weight for the object will be::
|
||||
|
||||
weight = w1_multiplier * norm(w1) + w2_multiplier * norm(w2) + ...
|
||||
|
||||
A weigher should be a subclass of ``weights.BaseHostWeigher`` and they must
|
||||
implement the ``weight_multiplier`` and ``weight_object`` methods. If the
|
||||
``weight_objects`` method is overriden it just return a list of weights, and not
|
||||
modify the weight of the object directly, since final weights are normalized and
|
||||
computed by ``weight.BaseWeightHandler``.
|
||||
|
||||
The Filter Scheduler weighs hosts based on the config option
|
||||
`scheduler_weight_classes`, this defaults to
|
||||
`nova.scheduler.weights.all_weighers`, which selects all the available weighers
|
||||
in the package nova.scheduler.weights. Hosts are then weighted and sorted with
|
||||
the largest weight winning. For each host, the final weight is calculated by
|
||||
summing up all weigher's weight value multiplying its own weight_mutiplier:
|
||||
`nova.scheduler.weights.all_weighers`, which selects the following weighers:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
* |RamWeigher| Hosts are then weighted and sorted with the largest weight winning.
|
||||
If the multiplier is negative, the host with less RAM available will win (useful
|
||||
for stacking hosts, instead of spreading).
|
||||
* |MetricsWeigher| This weigher can compute the weight based on the compute node
|
||||
host's various metrics. The to-be weighed metrics and their weighing ratio
|
||||
are specified in the configuration file as the followings::
|
||||
|
||||
final_weight = 0
|
||||
for each weigher:
|
||||
final_weight += weigher's weight_mutiplier * weigher's calculated weight value
|
||||
|
||||
The weigher's weight_mutiplier can be set in the configuration file, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
[metrics]
|
||||
weight_multiplier=1.0
|
||||
metrics_weight_setting = name1=1.0, name2=-1.0

||||

|
||||
weighing. Each time it chooses a host, it virtually consumes resources on it,
