pyvoltha-min 2.7.3

VOLTHA Python OLT Device Adapter support libraries

PyVOLTHA-min is an updated pyVOLTHA package that provides a collection of python 3.x libraries used to create an VOLTHA OLT device adapter focused on the VOLTHA v2.4 release and beyond.

As some adapters (including the OpenONU) have required to be moved to the Go language, there is was not as much maintenance performed on the pyVOLTHA package.

The goal for this package is to begin to deprecate and remove old VOLTHA 1.x features and focus on a minimal set of updated imports that can be supported in Python 3.6+ with the hopes to transition to later versions of python. In addition, effort to remove any GPL or other restrictive package requirements is also highly desired.

Installation instruction

pip install pyvoltha-min

Release Notes

v2.7.3 (2021-03-24)

• Dropping support for python 3.5. Recommend 3.8 at this time as it is the focus of the most testing so far.

• Upgraded twisted version to 21.2.0. Will be looking at better ContextVar support for maintaining OpenTracing context in future version. See Twisted 21.2.0 release notes for more information. Also allows for official support of Python 3.8

• Upgrade to latest Arrow release. Eventually arrow may be removed in order to use latest versions of python time modules.

v2.7.2 (2021-03-01)

• Support independent group poll frequencies. Default still 15 seconds. Zero group frequency to disable that group. Zero default frequency to disable all groups

v2.7.1 (2021-02-25)

• IAdapter API get_ext_value() and single_get_value_request() support

• Do not report KPI metric if not supported by adapter (return of None)

• pylint cleanup (adapter_request_facade.py primarily)

v2.7.0 (2021-02-23)

• Updated to latest voltha-protos (4.0.13), protobuf (3.15.0), structlog (21.1.0), and PyYAML (5.4.1). Update of confluent-kafka to latest is planned after moving python version to 3.9 in order to pick up newer libraries but no date has been made for that yet.

• Changed default kvstore prefix from service/voltha to service/voltha_voltha to match new multi-VOLTHA stack syntax for v2.7

• Support passing of optional kv-store timeout to various components that use the kv-store

v2.6.5 (2021-02-19)

• Added timeout for inter-container response (60 seconds) to help insure that the response transaction ID map does not grow unbounded. Future release will provide ability to customize this timeout on a per proxy (core/adapter topic) basis

v2.6.4 (2021-02-18)

• Rounding kafka stats to microseconds for better readability

• Made kafka-stats more generic to allow per topic/rpc-name totals and averages

• Optimized kafka RCP encode/decode wrt Tracing if it is not enabled

v2.6.3 (2021-02-12)

• Rollback confluent-kafka version

v2.6.2 (2021-02-12)

• Added Kafka proxy statistics to help support scaling efforts

• Changed producer ‘poll’ after ‘produce’ call to a periocic ‘flush’ to lower outstanding threads that could be blocking on the client.

• Modified call parameters to kafka producer send related methods to allow for no response to be expected and to control timeout and retries beyond the default (if a response is requested).

• Dropped unused etcd classes (kv_client, kvstore) to minimize number of ways etcd can be used. Eventually the blocking etcd client used by the Resource manager will be deprecated and removed as well. Remaining etcd classes consolidated to same directory as others.

v2.6.1 (2021-01-27)

• BUGFIX: had parameters in TechProfileInstance restore function swapped.

• Change PM config frequency from units of 1/10 second to 1 second to match the voltha-lib-go implementation.

• instance_id field in structured logging is instanceId in Go adapters. Changing to that so that searching logs in EFK for only VOLTHA related logs can use that field name for all types of adapters (and other VOLTHA components)

• A few incremental improvements to the tracing support

v2.6.0 (2021-01-25)

• Moved TechProfile and ResourceManager string constants to pyvoltha_min files since OpenOLT diverged and places brackets ‘{}’ around various elements. This is needed by python OLT device adapters to work with the OpenONU-go device adapter

• Customized TechProfile JSON serialization to only output fields ONU can use and expects. Previous code was causing un-marshaling error in OpenONU-go device adapter. An additional change is that they ‘is_multicast’ boolean is expected to be encoded as a string in the JSON output.

• TechProfileInstance creation (or restore from JSON) is now accomplished through either the create() or restore() static methods. This allows a bit more explicit control on how the object is used in order to better control lifetime and use within an OLT device adapter.

• The technology profile changes have been tested against both the Python and Go versions of the v2.6 OpenONU device adapter.

v2.5.6 (2021-01-20)

• Added kv_store_prefix.py to allow for saving/retrieving kv-store prefix so that multiple voltha stacks can use the same kv-store infrastructure. Use KvStore.prefix instead of hardcoded ‘service/voltha’

• Fixed PM metric metadata titles to match what is expected by the ‘kafka-topic-exporter’. Was using ‘Ethernet’ and ‘PON’ and should have been ‘ETHERNET_NNI’ and ‘PON_OLT’

v2.5.5 (2021-01-14)

• Support kv-store persistence & watching on log features prefixes

• Removal of NilScope since OpenTracing API will always provide at least a nop tracer when requested via global_tracer() call.

• Moved Tracing Support class to log_controller as that is the proper area in kv-store to watch/control for tracing and log correlation

v2.5.4 (2021-01-11)

• Bugfix: Corrected trace-id and scan-id output to log. Should be hex lowercase

  values instead of integers

• Corrected release date. v2.5.2 and v2.5.3 both had 2022 as the year

v2.5.3 (2021-01-08)

• Moving to Python 3.8 as base version for PIP virtual environment installs. But version 3.5+ are also okay to use in your end product. Mainly chose 3.8 since it is a fairly recent version and there are performance improvements in the later versions as well that I want to make use of in the OLT adapters that use this library

• Bug fixes/improvements to OpenTracing API calls to better align with OpenOLT & Core

• Pylint cleanup in a number of files

v2.5.2 (2021-01-04)

• Upgraded VOLTHA protos to v4.0.7. This is the latest as of 1/4/2021 and is post- v2.6 release but all changes between the v2.5 release do not cause an issue with v2.5 OLT device adapters (python) and will allow for easier support of v2.6 features such as the individual get/set value requests (which are ONU-only at this time)

• Added IAdapter support for single_get/set_value_request

• Added initial jaeger tracing (basic support) for log correlation and trace needs in VOLTHA v2.5+ adapters. Basic support includes root spans on adapter originated requests and simple child span support on incoming kafka requests. More elaborate scope/context support is scheduled for a future version as having a trace that has an overall-span length with actual async work sub-spans are a bit more complex to implement.

v2.5.1 (2020-12-21)

• Support for force-delete adapter

• Added jaeger-client for log correlation and span support

• Added get_ext_value() IAdapter interface

v2.5.0 (2020-12-21)

• Upgraded Voltha-protos requirements to 4.0.5 tag. This is the VOLTHA v2.5 tag plus 3 additional protobuf changes from VOLTHA v2.6 that will have little impact until additional capabilities are added to device adapters that need them.

v2.4.7 (2020-12-04)

• Endpoint Manager work to properly read out instances when adapter scaling had been performed

• Extended interadapter IAdapter interface to pass along the ‘from-adapter’ topic to allow for auto-learning of ONU device adapter endpoint.

v2.4.6 (2020-12-03)

• Added Rx/Tx frame-size (buckets) counters to NNI and PON statistics

• Deprecated IndexPool, IdGeneration, docker_helpers, MessageQueue, and a majority of the common.config files (only EtcdStore in config_backend.py is still in use) EtcdStore will be deprecated in the near future and replaced with the async version (TwistedEtcdStore)

v2.4.5 (2020-12-01)

• Require kv_store instance during instantiation of a onu single-instance tech profiler

• Config backend list() method should return the generator that etcd returned

v2.4.5 (2020-11-25)

• More work to on twisted TimeoutError. It actually is defined as a class with the same name in more than one module.

v2.4.4 (2020-11-23)

• Use Twisted TimeoutError exception rather than defining own Exception class

• Improved timeout handling/error checking of inter-adapter exceptions to minimize additional exceptions being thrown by twisted reactor while in an inlineCallback

• Work to support base python version of 3.8.5+. Needs more work in pyYAML and the confluent-kafka modules to support 3.8 of python

• Cleanup of remaining warnings (all low) identified by bandit

• Move Development Status classifier to level 5 - Production/Stable

• Dropped simplejson and docker-py packages as they are not needed

v2.4.3 (2020-11-19)

• Added some reasonable max/min values on the PM Config frequency & skew

• ONU and GEM Port stats are optional and not configured by default to match what the OpenOLT currently supports

v2.4.2 (2020-11-18)

• Updated requirements (most notably confluent-kafka) to latest versions

• Kafka requests now run in their own tasks

• Support alarm (ONU Signal Fail) if deregistation due to degraded signal occurs

v2.4.1 (2020-11-16)

• Updated requirements (most notably txaioetcd) to latest versions

• Provide optional etcd change watch callback to be specified by external user

• Allow watch callback to work for a prefix (more efficient with logger callbacks)

v2.4.0 (2020-10-29)

• Initial v2.4 release

v2.0.9 (2020-10-28)

• Lowered log message level for twisted-etcd-store success calls.

v2.0.8 (2020-10-22)

• For async/twisted ETCD client, differentiate between a cancelled async request and true failure

• Start method for PM metrics will check to for an existing running LoopingCall before attempting to start the loop (which would assert otherwise if already running)

v2.0.7 (2020-10-13)

• Added support for Device Event serialization to support HA reconciliation after a container restart

v2.0.6 (2020-10-12)

• Check to not stop looping call in stats if not running. Prevents an assert

• EtcStore errback should return the reason, not raise an assert

• Additional work on logger level and components in preparation for v2.5+ support

• Update to reported KPI Metrics to better match what OpenOLT supports in v2.4

• Allow None to be passed as key to TwistedEtcdStore operations to select the base client path and allow a timeout when initializing the etcd client.

v2.0.5 (2020-10-06)

• Fix bad check on OperStatus type. Always passed in as an int

• Fix log keyword bug, should not use ‘event’ in call

• Disable GEM Port statistics until we are ready for them

v2.0.4 (2020-10-05)

• Deprecation of HeartBeat Event, now called OLT Indication

• Correct subcategory for OLT LOS Event (was ONU, should be OLT)

• Corrected Device Events for OLT LOS, OLT Port Down, OLT Down, Dying Gasp, and PON Interface Down events for the OLT (VOLTHA v2.x format)

• A small amount of pylint cleanup and python 3 updates

• Call to etcd callback needs to be placed onto reactor thread

v2.0.3 (2020-09-30)

• Call to etcd callback needs to be placed onto reactor thread

v2.0.2 (2020-09-28)

• Default KPI subcategory is now OLT and can be set with a kwargs if needed for some other type

• Moved to latest version of protobuf module

• Added golang-equivalent Endpoint Manager in effort to determine endpoint of a device for interadapter-messages. Turns out there is a flaw in the design and is reliant upon use of a specific golang 3rd party hashing algorythm which may not be available to a python program. Discussions on the VOLTHA slack channel have been started and a JIRA may be issued in the near future.

• Added ‘list’ function for ectd library

v2.0.1 (2020-09-24)

• Move etcd/kafka address values to be similar to what OpenOLT uses

• Small amount of ‘assert’ cleanup flagged by bandit

v2.0.0 (2020-09-20)

• Pre-release with all but Alarms/Events and logging up to date with v2.4 release of VOLTHA

• Much refactoring of python 2.7 code with movement toward at least python 3.5 and later supported

• Dropped import of __future__ and six (to some extent)

• Removed simple ONU-only device events related to OMCI

• Dropped transitions, pcapy, and scapy imports (no longer required)

• Added missing ‘child_device_lost’ IAdapter RPC as well as a few other IAdapter and inter-adapter API bit rot cleaned up
