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
44 * Only external change here is to healthcheck the rmr thread as part of a1s healthcheck. k8s will now respin a1 if that is failing.
45 * Refactors (simplifies) how we wait for rmr initialization; it is now called as part of __init__
46 * Refactors (simplifies) how the thread is actually launched; it is now internal to the object and also a part of __init__
47 * Cleans up unit testing; a1rmr now exposes a replace_rcv_func; useful for unit testing, harmless if not called otherwise
48 * Upgrades to rmr-python 1.0.0 for simpler message allocation
55 * Move database cleanup (e.g., deleting instances based on statuses) into the polling loop
56 * 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
57 * 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
58 * Bump rmr-python version, and bump rmr version
59 * 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.
66 * a1 now has a seperate, continuous polling thread
67 this will enable operations like database cleanup (based on ACKs) and external notifications in real time,
68 rather than when the API is invoked
69 * all rmr send and receive operations are now in this thread
70 * introduces a thread safe job queue between the two threads
71 * Not done yet: database cleanups in the thread
72 * Bump rmr python version
73 * Clean up some logging
80 * Moves the "database" access calls to mimick the SDL API, in preparation for moving to SDL
81 * Does not yet actually use SDL or Redis, but the transition to those will be much shorter after this change.
89 * Represents v1.0.0 of the A1 API for O-RAN-SC Release A
91 - Implement type DELETE
92 - Clean up where policy instance cleanups happen
100 * Upgrade rmr to 1.9.0
101 * Upgrade rmr-python to 0.13.2
102 * Use the new helpers module in rmr-python for the rec all functionality
103 * 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
104 * Fix a memory leak (python obj is garbage collected but not the underlying C memory allocation)
113 * Implement instance delete
114 * Moves away from the status vector and now aggregates statuses
115 * Pop through a1s mailbox "3x as often"; on all 3 kinds of instance GET since all such calls want the latest information
116 * Misc cleanups in controller (closures ftw)
117 * Add rmr-version.yaml for CICD jobs
124 * Implement GET all policy type ids
125 * Implement GET all policy instance ids for a policy type
126 * fix a tiny bug in integration test receiver
134 * 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)
135 * improve test receiver to behave with this setup
136 * add integration test for this case
137 * 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
138 * improve integration tests overall
148 * Remove RIC manifest
149 * Read type GET to get schema for instance PUT
150 * Remove Utils (no longer needed)
151 * lots more tests (unit and integration)
158 * This is on the road to release 1.0.0. It is not meant to be tested (E2E) as it's own release
159 * Implement the Release A spec in the openapi.yaml
160 * Rework A1 to follow that spec
161 * Remove rmr_mapping now that we use policyid as the mtype to send and a well known mtype for the ACKs
162 * Add the delay receiver test to the tavern integration tests
163 * Remove unneeded ENV variables from helm charts
164 * Switch away from builder images to avoid quicksand; upgrade rmr at our own pace
172 * Update to later rmr-python
173 * Add docs about upgrading rmr
174 * remove bombarder since tavern runs apache bench
182 * Update to later rmr-python
189 * Greatly reduce the size of A1 docker from 1.25GB to ~278MB.
190 * Add a seperate dockerfile for unit testing
198 * Rename all /ric/ URLs to be consistent with requirements of /a1-p/
206 * Implement the GET on policies
207 * 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).
215 * Fix the 400, which was in the API, but wasn't actually implemented
216 * Update the test fixture manifests to reflect the latest adm control, paves way for next feature coming which is a policy GET
225 * Use base Docker with NNG version 1.1.1
234 * Upgrade RMR due to a bug that was preventing rmr from init in kubernetes
243 * Run unit tests as part of docker build
252 * Convert docs to appropriate format
253 * Move rmr string to int mapping to a file
262 * Use tavern to test the actual running docker container
263 * Restructures the integration tests to run as a single tox command
264 * Re-ogranizes the README and splits out the Developers guide, which is not needed by users.
272 * 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
273 * Adds a test "bombarding" script that tests this
281 * 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.
282 * Fix a bug in the unit tests (found using a fresh container with no RIC manifest!)
283 * Fix a (critical) bug in a1rmr due to a rename in the last iteration (RMR_ERR_RMR_RCV_RETRY_INTERVAL)
284 * Make unit tests faster by setting envs in tox
285 * Move to the now publically available rmr-python
286 * Return a 400 if am xapp does not expect a body, but the PUT provides one
287 * Adds a new test policy to the example RIC manifest and a new delayed receiver to test the aformentiond race condition
295 * Upgrade to rmr 0.10.0
296 * Fix bad api spec RE GET
297 * 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
305 * Rip some testing structures out of here that should have been in rmr (those are now in rmr 0.9.0, upgrade to that)
306 * Run Python BLACK for formatting
314 * Fix a blocking execution bug by moving from rmr's timeout to a non blocking call + retry loop + asyncronous sleep
315 * Changes the ENV RMR_RCV_TIMEOUT to RMR_RCV_RETRY_INTERVAL
323 * Update to rmr 0.8.3
324 * Change 503 to 504 for the case where downstream does not reply, per recommendation
325 * Add a 502 with different reasons if the xapp replies but with a bad/malformed/missing status
326 * Make testing much more modular, in anticipating of moving some unit test functionality into rmr itself
334 * Crash immediately if manifest isn't mounted
335 * Add unit tests for utils
344 * Upgrade A1 to rmr 0.8.0
345 * Go from deb RMR installation to git
346 * Remove obnoxious receiver logging
354 * Upgrade A1 to rmr 0.6.0
362 * Add license headers
370 * Introduce RIC Manifest
371 * Move some testing functionality into a helper module
372 * Read the policyname to rmr type mapping from manifest
373 * Do PUT payload validation based on the manifest
381 * Bump rmr python dep version
382 * Include a Dockerized test receiver
383 * Stencil out the mising GET
385 * Include a test docker compose file
393 * Initial Implementation
