class RPCClient(object):
"""A class for invoking methods on remote servers.
The RPCClient class is responsible for sending method invocations to remote
servers via a messaging transport.
A default target is supplied to the RPCClient constructor, but target
attributes can be overridden for individual method invocations using the
prepare() method.
A method invocation consists of a request context dictionary, a method name
and a dictionary of arguments. A cast() invocation just sends the request
and returns immediately. A call() invocation waits for the server to send
a return value.
This class is intended to be used by wrapping it in another class which
provides methods on the subclass to perform the remote invocation using
call() or cast()::
class TestClient(object):
def __init__(self, transport):
target = messaging.Target(topic='test', version='2.0')
self._client = messaging.RPCClient(transport, target)
def test(self, ctxt, arg):
return self._client.call(ctxt, 'test', arg=arg)
An example of using the prepare() method to override some attributes of the
default target::
def test(self, ctxt, arg):
cctxt = self._client.prepare(version='2.5')
return cctxt.call(ctxt, 'test', arg=arg)
RPCClient have a number of other properties - for example, timeout and
version_cap - which may make sense to override for some method invocations,
so they too can be passed to prepare()::
def test(self, ctxt, arg):
cctxt = self._client.prepare(timeout=10)
return cctxt.call(ctxt, 'test', arg=arg)
However, this class can be used directly without wrapping it another class.
For example::
transport = messaging.get_transport(cfg.CONF)
target = messaging.Target(topic='test', version='2.0')
client = messaging.RPCClient(transport, target)
client.call(ctxt, 'test', arg=arg)
but this is probably only useful in limited circumstances as a wrapper
class will usually help to make the code much more obvious.
By default, cast() and call() will block until the message is successfully
sent. However, the retry parameter can be used to have message sending
fail with a MessageDeliveryFailure after the given number of retries. For
example::
client = messaging.RPCClient(transport, target, retry=None)
client.call(ctxt, 'sync')
try:
client.prepare(retry=0).cast(ctxt, 'ping')
except messaging.MessageDeliveryFailure:
LOG.error("Failed to send ping message")

The semantics of how any errors raised by the remote RPC endpoint
method are handled are quite subtle.
Firstly, if the remote exception is contained in one of the modules
listed in the allow_remote_exmods messaging.get_transport() parameter,
then it this exception will be re-raised by call(). However, such
locally re-raised remote exceptions are distinguishable from the same
exception type raised locally because re-raised remote exceptions are
modified such that their class name ends with the '_Remote' suffix so
you may do::
if ex.__class__.__name__.endswith('_Remote'):
# Some special case for locally re-raised remote exceptions
Secondly, if a remote exception is not from a module listed in the
allowed_remote_exmods list, then a messaging.RemoteError exception is
raised with all details of the remote exception.
Note: call is done 'at-most-once'. In case of we can't known
if the call have been done correctly, because we didn't get the
response on time, MessagingTimeout exception is raised.
The real reason can vary, transport failure, worker
doesn't answer in time or crash, ...
