8 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
10 The format is based on `Keep a Changelog <http://keepachangelog.com/>`__
11 and this project adheres to `Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org/>`__.
22 * Represents a resillent version of 1.0.0 that uses Redis for persistence
31 * Implements new logic around when instances are deleted. See flowcharts in docs/. Basically timeouts now trigger to actually delete instances from a1s database, and these timeouts are configurable.
32 * Eliminates the barrier to deleting an instance when no xapp evdr replied (via timeouts)
33 * Add two new ENV variables that control timeouts
34 * Make unit tests more modular so new workflows can be tested easily
35 * Changes the API for ../status to return a richer structure
36 * Clean up unused items in the integration tests helm chart
37 * Removed "RMR_RCV_RETRY_INTERVAL" leftovers since this isn't used anymore
38 * Uses the standard RIC logging library
45 * Only external change here is to healthcheck the rmr thread as part of a1s healthcheck. k8s will now respin a1 if that is failing.
46 * Refactors (simplifies) how we wait for rmr initialization; it is now called as part of __init__
47 * Refactors (simplifies) how the thread is actually launched; it is now internal to the object and also a part of __init__
48 * Cleans up unit testing; a1rmr now exposes a replace_rcv_func; useful for unit testing, harmless if not called otherwise
49 * Upgrades to rmr-python 1.0.0 for simpler message allocation
56 * Move database cleanup (e.g., deleting instances based on statuses) into the polling loop
57 * Rework how unit testing works with the polling loop; prior, exceptions were being thrown silently from the thread but not printed. The polling thread has now been paramaterized with override functions for the purposes of testing
58 * Make type cleanup more efficient since we know exactly what instances were touched, and it's inefficient to iterate over all instances if they were not
59 * Bump rmr-python version, and bump rmr version
60 * Still an item left to do in this work; refactor the thread slightly to tie in a healthcheck with a1s healthcheck. We need k8s to restart a1 if that thread dies too.
67 * a1 now has a seperate, continuous polling thread
68 this will enable operations like database cleanup (based on ACKs) and external notifications in real time,
69 rather than when the API is invoked
70 * all rmr send and receive operations are now in this thread
71 * introduces a thread safe job queue between the two threads
72 * Not done yet: database cleanups in the thread
73 * Bump rmr python version
74 * Clean up some logging
81 * Moves the "database" access calls to mimick the SDL API, in preparation for moving to SDL
82 * Does not yet actually use SDL or Redis, but the transition to those will be much shorter after this change.
90 * Represents v1.0.0 of the A1 API for O-RAN-SC Release A
92 - Implement type DELETE
93 - Clean up where policy instance cleanups happen
101 * Upgrade rmr to 1.9.0
102 * Upgrade rmr-python to 0.13.2
103 * Use the new helpers module in rmr-python for the rec all functionality
104 * Switch rmr mode to a multithreaded mode that continuously reads from rmr and populates an internal queue of messages with a deterministic queue size (2048) which is better behavior for A1
105 * Fix a memory leak (python obj is garbage collected but not the underlying C memory allocation)
114 * Implement instance delete
115 * Moves away from the status vector and now aggregates statuses
116 * Pop through a1s mailbox "3x as often"; on all 3 kinds of instance GET since all such calls want the latest information
117 * Misc cleanups in controller (closures ftw)
118 * Add rmr-version.yaml for CICD jobs
125 * Implement GET all policy type ids
126 * Implement GET all policy instance ids for a policy type
127 * fix a tiny bug in integration test receiver
135 * switch to rmr 1.8.1 to pick up a non blocking variant of rmr that deals with bad routing tables (no hanging connections / blocking calls)
136 * improve test receiver to behave with this setup
137 * add integration test for this case
138 * this also switches past 1.5.x, which included another change that altered the behavior of rts; deal with this with a change to a1s helmchart (env: `RMR_SRC_ID`) that causes the sourceid to be set to a1s service name, which was not needed prior
139 * improve integration tests overall
149 * Remove RIC manifest
150 * Read type GET to get schema for instance PUT
151 * Remove Utils (no longer needed)
152 * lots more tests (unit and integration)
159 * This is on the road to release 1.0.0. It is not meant to be tested (E2E) as it's own release
160 * Implement the Release A spec in the openapi.yaml
161 * Rework A1 to follow that spec
162 * Remove rmr_mapping now that we use policyid as the mtype to send and a well known mtype for the ACKs
163 * Add the delay receiver test to the tavern integration tests
164 * Remove unneeded ENV variables from helm charts
165 * Switch away from builder images to avoid quicksand; upgrade rmr at our own pace
173 * Update to later rmr-python
174 * Add docs about upgrading rmr
175 * remove bombarder since tavern runs apache bench
183 * Update to later rmr-python
190 * Greatly reduce the size of A1 docker from 1.25GB to ~278MB.
191 * Add a seperate dockerfile for unit testing
199 * Rename all /ric/ URLs to be consistent with requirements of /a1-p/
207 * Implement the GET on policies
208 * Add a new endpoint for healthcheck. NOTE, it has been decided by oran architecture documents that this policy interface should be named a1-p in all URLS. In a future release the existing URLs will be renamed (existing URLs were not changed in this release).
216 * Fix the 400, which was in the API, but wasn't actually implemented
217 * Update the test fixture manifests to reflect the latest adm control, paves way for next feature coming which is a policy GET
226 * Use base Docker with NNG version 1.1.1
235 * Upgrade RMR due to a bug that was preventing rmr from init in kubernetes
244 * Run unit tests as part of docker build
253 * Convert docs to appropriate format
254 * Move rmr string to int mapping to a file
263 * Use tavern to test the actual running docker container
264 * Restructures the integration tests to run as a single tox command
265 * Re-ogranizes the README and splits out the Developers guide, which is not needed by users.
273 * Adds a defense mechanism against A1 getting queue-overflowed with messages A1 doesnt care about; A1 now ignores all incoming messages it's not waiting for, so it's queue size should now always be "tiny", i.e., never exceeding the number of valid requests it's waiting for ACKs back for
274 * Adds a test "bombarding" script that tests this
282 * Main purpose of this change is to fix a potential race condition where A1 sends out M1 expecting ACK1, and while waiting for ACK1, sends out M2 expecting ACK2, but gets back ACK2, ACK1. Prior to this change, A1 may have eaten ACK2 and never fufilled the ACK1 request.
283 * Fix a bug in the unit tests (found using a fresh container with no RIC manifest!)
284 * Fix a (critical) bug in a1rmr due to a rename in the last iteration (RMR_ERR_RMR_RCV_RETRY_INTERVAL)
285 * Make unit tests faster by setting envs in tox
286 * Move to the now publically available rmr-python
287 * Return a 400 if am xapp does not expect a body, but the PUT provides one
288 * Adds a new test policy to the example RIC manifest and a new delayed receiver to test the aformentiond race condition
296 * Upgrade to rmr 0.10.0
297 * Fix bad api spec RE GET
298 * Fix a (big) bug where transactionid wasn't being checked, which wouldn't have worked on sending two policies to the same downstream policy handler
306 * Rip some testing structures out of here that should have been in rmr (those are now in rmr 0.9.0, upgrade to that)
307 * Run Python BLACK for formatting
315 * Fix a blocking execution bug by moving from rmr's timeout to a non blocking call + retry loop + asyncronous sleep
316 * Changes the ENV RMR_RCV_TIMEOUT to RMR_RCV_RETRY_INTERVAL
324 * Update to rmr 0.8.3
325 * Change 503 to 504 for the case where downstream does not reply, per recommendation
326 * Add a 502 with different reasons if the xapp replies but with a bad/malformed/missing status
327 * Make testing much more modular, in anticipating of moving some unit test functionality into rmr itself
335 * Crash immediately if manifest isn't mounted
336 * Add unit tests for utils
345 * Upgrade A1 to rmr 0.8.0
346 * Go from deb RMR installation to git
347 * Remove obnoxious receiver logging
355 * Upgrade A1 to rmr 0.6.0
363 * Add license headers
371 * Introduce RIC Manifest
372 * Move some testing functionality into a helper module
373 * Read the policyname to rmr type mapping from manifest
374 * Do PUT payload validation based on the manifest
382 * Bump rmr python dep version
383 * Include a Dockerized test receiver
384 * Stencil out the mising GET
386 * Include a test docker compose file
394 * Initial Implementation
