Monty Taylor e809580088 Add document describing consuming version discovery
The next patch actually describes desired state of version discovery.
But in an epic amount of cart-before-the-horse, we have the process for
consuming the discovery already because the process must take in to account
the present as well as the past. This process has kept in mind what consuming
the recommended discovery process _wants_ to look like in the future and in
calls that out in a few places. The intent would be that the algorithm here
would work for all clouds, but that as clouds and services adopt API-SIG
recommendations, the interactions with the clouds would become more
efficient. (so for clients using the complete algorithm they should be
upwards compatible with forthcoming API-SIG guidelines and will just
naturally do less work over time).

I believe this is consistent in defaults, fallbacks and error conditions with
what is currently implemented in keystoneauth, although there is
additional logic presented here which is not yet in keystoneauth. The
intent is for the process presented here to not change the behavior
experienced by current keystoneauth users, with the exception that when
the complete algorithm is implemented it's possible that an additional
API call may be made on older clouds. That is to say, keystoneauth
should not need to make any incompatible changes, but may need to add
some features to be a fully compliant implementation.

Apologies for the size and complexity. It turns out there are many
historical oddities still lurking out there and advice to client
authors that does not take them in to account would be incomplete. On
the other hand, as we drive guidelines forward into being implemented,
the need for this much crazy logic should go away.

Endpoint Discovery
==================
Endpoint from Catalog
---------------------
The ``{service-catalog}`` can be found in the ``token`` returned from
keystone authentication.
If v3 auth is used, the catalog will be in the ``catalog`` property of the
top-level ``token`` object. Such as:
.. code-block:: json
{
"token": {
"catalog": {}
}
}
If v2 auth is used it will be in the ``serviceCatalog`` property of the
top-level ``access`` object. Such as:
.. code-block:: json
{
"access": {
"serviceCatalog": {}
}
}
In both cases, the catalog content itself is a list of objects. Each object has
two main keys that concern discovery:
``type``
Matches ``{service-type}``
``endpoints``
List of endpoint objects for that service
Additionally, for backwards compatibility reasons, the following keys may
need to be checked.
``name``
Matches ``{service-name}``
``id``
Matches ``{service-id}``
The list of endpoints has a different format depending on whether v2 or v3 auth
was used. For both versions each endpoint object has a ``region`` key,
which should match ``{region-name}`` if one was given.
In v2 auth the endpoint object has three keys ``publicURL``,
``internalURL``, ``adminURL``. The endpoint for the ``{interface}`` requested
by the user is found in the key with the name matching ``{interface}`` plus
the string ``URL``.
In v3 auth the endpoint object has a ``url`` that is the endpoint that is
being requested if the value of ``interface`` matches ``{interface}``.

Endpoint Discovery Algorithm
----------------------------
#. If ``{endpoint-version}`` was given and ``{service-type}`` ends with a
suffix of ``v[0-9]+$`` and ``{endpoint-version}`` does not match that suffix
(see `Comparing Major Versions`_), STOP. Return an error that the user
has requested a versioned ``{service-type}`` alias and an incompatible
``{endpoint-version}``.
#. Find the objects in the ``{service-catalog}`` that match the requested
``{service-type}`` (see `Match Candidate Entries`_).
#. If ``{service-name}`` was given and the objects remaining have a ``name``
field, keep only the ones where ``name`` matches ``{service-name}``.
.. note:: Catalogs from Keystone v3 before v3.3 do not have a name field. If
``{be-strict}`` was not requested and the catalog does not have a
``name`` field, ``{service-name}`` should be ignored.
#. If ``{service-id}`` was given and the objects remaining have a ``id``
field, keep only the ones where ``id`` matches ``{service-id}``.
.. note:: Catalogs from Keystone v2 do not have an id field. If
``{be-strict}`` was not requested and the catalog does not have a
``id`` field, ``{service-id}`` should be ignored.
The list of remaining objects are the ``{candidate-catalog-objects}``. If this
list is empty, return an error that there are no endpoints matching
``{service-type}`` and ``{service-name}``.
#. Use ``{candidate-catalog-objects}`` to produce the list of
``{candidate-endpoints}``. For each endpoint object in each of the
``{candidate-catalog-objects}``:
#. If v2, if there is no key of the form ``{interface}URL`` for any of the
the ``{interface}`` values given, discard the endpoint.
#. If v3, if ``interface`` does not match any of the ``{interface}`` values
given, discard the endpoint.
#. If there are no endpoints left, return an error that there are no endpoints
matching any of the ``{interface}`` values, preferrably including the list
of interfaces that were found.
#. For each remaining endpoint in ``{candidate-endpoints}``, if
``{region_name}`` was given and does not match either of ``region`` or
``region_id``, discard the endpoint.
If there are no remaining endpoints, return an error that there are no
endpoints matching ``{region_name}``, preferrably including the list of
regions that were found.
#. From the set of remaining candidate endpoints, find the ones that best
matches the requested ``{service-type}`` (see `Find Endpoint Matching Best
Service Type`_).
#. From the set of remaining candidate endpoints, find the ones that best
matches the best available requested ``{interface}``: in order of
preference of the ``{interface}`` list, return all endpoints that match
the first ``{interface}`` that has any matching endpoints.
The remaining ``{candidate-endpoints}`` match the request. If there is more
than one of them, use the first, but emit a warning to the user that more
than one endpoint was left. If ``{be-strict}`` has been requested, return an
error instead with information about each of the endpoints left in the list.
.. note:: It would be more correct to raise an error if there is more than one
endpoint left, but the keystoneauth library returns the first and
changing that would break a large number of existing users. If one
is writing a completely new library from scratch, or a new major
version where behavior change is acceptable, it is preferable to
raise an error here if there is more than one endpoint left.
#. If v2, the ``{catalog-endpoint}`` is the value of ``{interface}URL``.
#. If v3, the ``{catalog-endpoint}`` is the value of ``url``.
Match Candidate Entries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For every entry in the catalog:
#. If the entry's type matches the requested ``{service-type}``, it is a
candidate.
#. If the requested type is an official type from the
:doc:`OpenStack Service Types Authority <authority>` that has aliases and
one of the aliases matches the entry's type, it is a candidate.
#. If the requested type is an alias of an official type from the
:doc:`OpenStack Service Types Authority <authority>` and the entry's type
matches the official type, it is a candidate.
#. If the requested type is an alias of an official type from the
:doc:`OpenStack Service Types Authority <authority>` that has aliases and
the entry's type matches one of the aliases and ``{endpoint-version}`` was
given and the found alias ends with a suffix of ``v[0-9]+$`` and
``{endpoint-version}`` matches the version in the suffix (see `Comparing
Major Versions`_) it is a candidate.
.. _find-endpoint-matching-best-service-type:
Find Endpoint Matching Best Service Type
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given a list of candidate endpoints that have matched the other criteria:
#. Check the list of candidate endpoints to see if one of them matches the
requested ``{service-type}``. If any are an exact match, return them.
#. If the requested ``{service-type}``
* is an official type from the :doc:`OpenStack Service Types Authority
<authority>` that has aliases
* ``{endpoint-version}`` was given
Look for aliases that end with a version suffix of the form ``v[0-9]+$``.
If there are any aliases with a version suffix that matches the
``{endpoint-version}`` (see `Comparing Major Versions`_), look for those
aliases in the list of candidate endpoints. If any are a match, return them.
#. If the requested ``{service-type}``
* is an official type in the :doc:`OpenStack Service Types Authority
<authority>` that has aliases
* ``{endpoint-version}`` was not given
check each alias in the order listed to see if it has a matching endpoint
from the candidate endpoints. Return the endpoints that match the first
alias that has matching endpoints.
#. If the requested ``{service-type}``
* is an alias of an official type in the
:doc:`OpenStack Service Types Authority <authority>`
* ``{endpoint-version}`` was given
look for aliases that end with a version suffix of the form ``v[0-9]+$``. If
there are any aliases with a version suffix that matches the
``{endpoint-version}`` (see `Comparing Major Versions`_), look for those
aliases in the list of candidate endpoints.
Return the endpoints that match the alias with the highest matching version.
#. If there are no matching endpoints, return an error.
.. note:: The case where
* an alias was requested
* no ``{endpoint-version}`` was given
* there is a different alias in the catalog
is not safe and so is treated as a lack of matching endpoint on
purpose. Many of the aliases carry an implied version, so absent
a requested ``{endpoint-version}`` from the user, returning
an endpoint different than the one explicitly requested has a high
chance of not being the endpoint the user expected.
.. _comparing-major-versions:
Comparing Major Versions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When comparing Major Versions, there is a ``required`` and a ``candidate``:
* The ``required`` is what the user has requested.
* The ``candidate`` is the possible version being tested.
To be suitable a ``candidate`` must be of the same major version as
``required`` and be at least a match in minor level: ``candidate`` ``3.3``
is a match for ``required`` ``3.1`` but ``4.1`` is not.
Leading 'v' strings should be discarded in all cases.
#. Versions with only a single number normalize to ``.0``. That is,
a version of ``2`` should be treated as if it was ``2.0``.
#. If ``required`` is the string ``latest`` or contains no value, ``candidate``
matches.
#. If ``required`` is a range, any ``candidate`` that is greater than or equal
to the first value and less than or equal to the second value is a match.
Equality is judged by the above rules. Greater than and less than are judged
as expected: first by comparing the first number, and if those match then by
comparing the second number. Thus, a ``{required}`` of ``2,4`` matches
``2``, ``2.3``, ``3``, ``4`` and ``4.7``. A ``{required}`` of ``2.1,4.0``
matches ``2.3``, ``3``, ``4`` and ``4.7`` but not ``2``.
#. If ``required`` is a range without a maximum value, maximum should be
treated as if it is ``latest``.
Examples of discovery
---------------------
For example, given the following catalog:
.. code-block:: json
{
"token": {
"catalog": [
{
"endpoints": [
{
"interface": "public",
"region": "RegionOne",
"url": "https://block-storage.example.com/v3"
}
],
"id": "4363ae44bdf34a3981fde3b823cb9aa3",
"type": "volumev3",
"name": "cinder"
},
{
"endpoints": [
{
"interface": "public",
"region": "RegionOne",
"url": "https://block-storage.example.com/v2"
}
],
"id": "4363ae44bdf34a3981fde3b823cb9aa2",
"type": "volumev2",
"name": "cinder"
}
],
}
Then the following:
::
service_type = 'block-storage'
# block-storage is not found, get list of aliases
# volumev3 is found, return it
service_type = 'volumev2'
# volumev2 not an official type in authority, but is in catalog
# return volumev2 entry
service_type = 'volume'
# volume not in authority or catalog
# volume is an alias of block-storage
# block-storage is not found. Return error.
service_type = 'volume'
api_version = 2
# volume not in authority or catalog
# volume is an alias of block-storage
# block-storage is not found.
# volumev2 is an alias of block-storage and ends with v2 which matches
# api_version of 2
# return volumev2
Given the following catalog:
.. code-block:: json

"id": "4363ae44bdf34a3981fde3b823cb9aa3",
"type": "block-storage",
"name": "cinder"
}
],
}
Then the following:
::
service_type = 'block-storage'
# block-storage is found, return it
service_type = 'volumev2'
# volumev2 not in authority, is an alias for block-storage
# block-storage is in the catalog, return it
service_type = 'volumev2'
api_version = '3'
# volumev2 ends with a version suffix of v2 which does not match 3
# return an error before even fetching the catalog
Given the following catalog:
.. code-block:: json
{
"token": {
"catalog": [
{
"endpoints": [
{
"interface": "public",

],
"id": "4363ae44bdf34a3981fde3b823cb9aa2",
"type": "volumev2",
"name": "cinder"
}
],
}
Then the following:
::
service_type = 'block-storage'
interface = ['internal', 'public']
# block-storage is found
# block-storage does not have internal, but has public
# return block-storage public
service_type = 'volumev2'
interface = ['internal', 'public']
# volumev2 not an official type in authority, but is in catalog
# volumev2 has an internal interface
# return volumev2 internal entry
