Enhance CLI for handling large query results
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
|
||||
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/tacker/+spec/paging-query-result
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal aims to enhance CLI for handling large query results.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Problem Description
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Tacker has supported for handling large query results [#TACKER-PAGING-SPEC]_
|
||||
according to ETSI NFV SOL013 [#NFV-SOL013_351]_.
|
||||
By this support, when the number of records to a query exceeds a certain value,
|
||||
the list of records is paginated as default.
|
||||
Because of this, Tacker's client needs to query next page one by one if it
|
||||
exists.
|
||||
Additionally, Tacker has been able to get all records at once by adding the
|
||||
query parameter "all_records=yes" into the URL of the API to be queried.
|
||||
The client commands existing in Yoga release and corresponding to target APIs
|
||||
in Tacker are below.
|
||||
|
||||
+ openstack vnflcm list
|
||||
+ openstack vnflcm op list
|
||||
+ openstack vnf package list
|
||||
|
||||
Since there is no method to obtain next page in client side, currently these
|
||||
commands cannot handle pagination.
|
||||
From the user point of view, there is the case where the user needs to get all
|
||||
records by single operation.
|
||||
However, handling large query results at once affects the performance of the
|
||||
server.
|
||||
Therefore, it is necessary to design the pagination feature in client side with
|
||||
moderating the impact of the performance in server side.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Proposed Change
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
To solve the problem above, we introduce the following process as the target
|
||||
CLI feature by default in case of handling large query results.
|
||||
|
||||
(1) When a CLI request is executed by user, Tacker server paginates records
|
||||
and responds to it with the first page of them to client side.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) When client side receives the response and recognizes that it contains the
|
||||
link for next page, the record in the response is retained internally and
|
||||
it queries next page to server side.
|
||||
|
||||
(3) Until there is no next page existing in the server, client side queries it
|
||||
one by one and retains records.
|
||||
|
||||
(4) After receiving all paginated records from the server, client side
|
||||
assembles retained records and then displays them as a CLI response.

|
||||
|

seqdiag {
|
||||
user -> tacker-client [label = "execute list command"]
|
||||
tacker-client -> tacker-server [label = "execute HTTP GET method" ]
|
||||
tacker-client <-- tacker-server [label = "return the first page" ]
|
||||
tacker-client -> tacker-server [label = "execute HTTP GET method" ]
|
||||
tacker-client <-- tacker-server [label = "return next page" ]
|
||||
=== loop while there is next page existing ===
|
||||
tacker-client -> tacker-server [label = "execute HTTP GET method" ]
|
||||
tacker-client <-- tacker-server [label = "return the last page" ]
|
||||
user <-- tacker-client [label = "show all records" ]

Work Items
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
The following items need to be performed in client side.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add checking if there is a link for next page of records in response
|
||||
header from Tacker server.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add a process to retain records from Tacker server and query next page.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add a process to assemble all retained records and display them as a
|
||||
single CLI response.
