gLite R-GMA SERVER

1. Release Description

This release contains the gLite R-GMA Server module v. 5.2.0. The following sections provide additional information about the release content, the module dependencies, the know bugs and issues and a list of bugs closed since the previous release. For information about installing and using the gLite R-GMA Server, please refer to the gLite Installation and User Guides.

2. Changes in this release

2.1. Changes in functionality

• This release of R-GMA in gLite 1.5 fixes more than 40 bugs. The most serious bug (number 8099: "Archivers are Inconsistent") has not been fixed completely but this release should show much better behaviour.
• The version is finally free of the old EDG API layer. The APIs communicate directly with the services and are no longer interdependent. One consequence of this is much improved error messages.
• APIs and services must be matched for the transition from 1.4 to 1.5 - so a site should upgrade in one go.
• For C we provide a 1.4 compatibility library so that code linked against a shareable library will still work. This was not feasible for the C++, so C++ application code must be recompiled. An extra compiler switch is needed for both C and C++ compilation.
• Error handling is much improved. You can now expect to receive a clear error message if there is a problem. If you don't - please submit a bug. There are three new exception types:
  
  RGMASecurityException
  RGMAUserException
  RGMABufferFullException
  
  
• We are now checking that published data are consistent with the schema. Previously a primary producer would accept almost anything, but then a secondary producer might modify the fields - e.g. truncating strings or it could just reject the tuple. Now we make the check when you try to insert the data into R-GMA this allows us to reject the tuple at source and inform the guilty party.
• The rgma-client-check has been changed so it only checks installed APIs. Each API is checked in turn, with a Producer and then a Consumer being created for that API. This results in the rgma-client-check taking upwards of 2.5 minutes.
• The reconnect operation no longer sends a showSignOfLife. This is an important change of semantics. Typically if you reconnect, you will immediately use the service so you will be unaware of the change. Finally, there used to be some non-advertised facilities for determining service status. We now offer getProperty operations to find out what is happening. These are of limited interest to the normal user. A setProperty call is also provided.

 

NEW FEATURES

 

• (LRP on insert) You can now specify a latest retention period for each tuple in the Primary Producer's insert call, overriding the one specified in declareTable. This is useful, for example, for the R-GMA Service Tool as different LRPs are appropriate for data from different services about which information is being published.
• (Logically named tuple stores) You can now access the database used by a Primary or Secondary producer just by giving it a logical name: R-GMA will map it to a physical database for you. Two new API calls listTupleStores and dropTupleStores are provided to manage them.
• (Tuple checking) Attempts to insert tuples that are inconsistent with the table definition in the schema will now be rejected.
• (numSuccessfulOps) The Primary Producer's insertList call may fail after inserting a number of tuples. You can now determine how far it got with the new numSuccessfulOps field in the RGMAException. It will contain the number of successfully inserted tuples.
• (endOfResults) A new method called endOfResults has been added to the result set returned by the Consumer's pop method to allow a much cleaner consumer loop to be constructed. A (Python) example looks like this:
  
  consumer.start(timeout)
  while 1:
      results = consumer.pop(1000)
      for result in results:
          print result
      if results.endOfResults:
          break
      time.sleep(5)
  
  The calls for the old looping constructs isExecuting and count are deprecated.
• (Registry and Schema calls) Calls to access the Registry and Schema have been added to the APIs. The most important new calls are getAllProducersForTable on the Registry and createTable, dropTable, getAllTables and getTableDefinition on the Schema. The temporary create-table command line utility has been withdrawn. Note that users should be very wary of calling dropTable because table definitions are shared by everyone using the Schema.

 

DEPRECATED FEATURES

 

• VO-names list in createPrimaryProducer, createSecondaryProducer and createOnDemandProducer.
• IgnoreSlowConsumers property in createPrimaryProducer and createSecondaryProducer: the flag will be ignored and tuples dropped when the History Retention Period (HRP) is exceeded.
• FILE storage type in createPrimaryProducer and createSecondaryProducer: it was never implemented so nobody should miss it.
• HTTP protocol in URI in createOnDemandProducer: this was unused.
• isExecuting and count Consumer calls: use the new endOfResults call as described above.

 

FEATURES WITHDRAWN

 

• setTerminationInterval for all producers and consumers: this was deprecated in previous re- leases.
• popAll on a consumer: this was deprecated in previous releases.
• setMetaData, setEndOfResults, addRow and setWarning in the C++ API's ResultSet class: these were not deprecated previously, but should never have been made public.

 

2.2. Changes in Configuration

The configuration of the module has changed. Please update your configuration if you upgrade from a previous version of the R-GMA Server.

2.2.1. New configuration parameters

The following new parameters have been added to the glite-rgma-server.cfg.xml file:

 

Parameter name	Default value	Description
rgma.site-publisher.description	changeme	Human readable description of the site. [Example: CERN testbed for prototype tests.] [Type: 'string']
rgma.site-publisher.siteName	changeme	Human readable name of the site. [Example: CERN testbed] [Type: 'string']
rgma.site-publisher.webLocation	changeme	Web location of the site (e.g. the homepage). [Example:] [Type: 'string']
rgma.site-publisher.location	changeme	Human readable location of the site. [Example: CERN, Geneva] [Type: 'string']
set.mysql.root.password	false	If this parameter is true, then the root password of the mysql database       is set to the value specified in mysql.root.password if it not yet set. This parameter has no effect if the database root password is already set. It can be used to ease automated installation and configuration of the service, if mysql is not managed in some other way
rgma.site-publisher.siteId	${HOSTNAME}	Unique Id of site. It has to be a DNS entry owned by the site and does not have to be shared with another site (i.e it uniquely identifies the site). It normally defaults to the DNS name of the R-GMA Server running the Site Publisher service. [Example: lxb1420.cern.ch] [Type: 'string'] This parameter obsoletes the parameter: rgma.site-publisher.sitename
rgma.archiver.db.historyRetentionPeriod	90	History retention period for flexible archiver db. [Example: 90] [Type: 'integer'] [Unit: 'minutes']

 

2.2.2. Modified configuration parameters

The following new parameters have been modified in the glite-rgma-server.cfg.xml file:

 

Parameter name	Old value	New value	Description
rgma.server.run_registry_service	changeme [type: string]	changeme [type: boolean]	The parameter type is now Boolean and can take the values true or false for consistency with all other similar parameters in the gLite configuration model. The old string values (yes|no) are still supported, but a warning message is output.
rgma.server.run_registry_service	changeme [type: string]	changeme [type: boolean]	The parameter type is now Boolean and can take the values true or false for consistency with all other similar parameters in the gLite configuration model. The old string values (yes|no) are still supported, but a warning message is output.

The old string values (yes|no) are still supported, but a warning message is output.
rgma.server.run_archiver	changeme [type: string]	changeme [type: boolean]	The parameter type is now Boolean and can take the values true or false for consistency with all other similar parameters in the gLite configuration model. The old string values (yes|no) are still supported, but a warning message is output.
rgma.server.run_site-publisher	changeme [type: string]	changeme [type: boolean]	The parameter type is now Boolean and can take the values true or false for consistency with all other similar parameters in the gLite configuration model. The old string values (yes|no) are still supported, but a warning message is output.

 

2.2.3. Removed configuration parameters

The following parameters have been removed from the glite-rgma-server.cfg.xml file:

5. Known bugs and issues

This release has the following known bugs and issues. Bug numbers refer to the gLite Bug Tracking system database hosted on the CERN Savannah system at https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?group=jra1mdw .

5.1. Main issues

• Archivers are inconsistent.
  There are a number of things contributing to this problem, which might better be described as "R-GMA sometimes loses tuples." The consequence being that 2 archivers may collect different tuples. We do *not* guarantee reliable delivery of tuples. Clearly this would be impossible with a memory based producer. We have tried to clarify in the spec how we handle tuples and clean them out for history and latest queries. The difficulty is with the continuous query. We try to deliver the tuple to those consumers which appear to be alive and functioning and will try for a few times to deliver the tuple, but eventually we have to give up otherwise we run out of memory. Exactly how hard we try to deliver is, intentionally, not defined in the spec.
• There is now a stricter check for SQL92 compliance. If applications were using invalid table names they may not work anymore in this release. Although, this is not an issue with R-GMA, applications providers should be aware of the need of revising their applications.
• User schema changes are not preserved when upgrading from previous versions of R-GMA. Applications that have redefined the schema may break after the upgrade. Instructions to migrate custom tables from the old schema to the new one can be found at:
  
  http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/egee/jra1-uk/glite-r1.5/schema-upgrade.html
  
  
• When using multiple registries replication is inconsistent. Since the result of registry replication can produce unreliable results, it is recommended not to use more than one registry per R-GMA domain. This functionality is explicitly disabled in this release.
• The R-GMA specifications (available from https://edms.cern.ch/document/490223/) states on page 69 that both INTEGER and INT data types are both supported. This is not the case at present as INT is not currently supported.
• Table and column names are currently case sensitive in R-GMA. To get consistent results always respect case.
• Continuous queries are case sensitive but latest and history queries ignore case with a default installation of MySQL.
• Only a subset of SQL92 is currently supported by R-GMA, and continuous queries are even more restricted. Time functions in SQL should not be used.
• Some operations of the command line tool try to access the schema and registry directly rather than just the local R-GMA server. This access may be blocked by a firewall.
• Use Java version 1.4.2 08 or later. There is a known issue with Java 1.4.2 running with the Scientific Linux 3 SMP kernel on dual processor machines, where the Java Virtual Machine can crash without warning. The problem does not seem to occur in RH7.3 or RHEL4.
• The Python API and the command line tool (that uses it) make a new connection to the server for each API operation. When connecting to a secure server this adds a substantial overhead, so multiple API calls (e.g. lots of inserts) will run slowly. The other three APIs are not affected.
• All VDBs share the same name space and information. Though the VDBName parameter is ignored, users are recommended to set it to an empty (zero length) string. This will facilitate the introduction of VDBs. Table names must not contain "." This will avoid confusion with VDBNames when they become active.
