Subject: [ovirt-devel] [VDSM][JSON RPC] new vdsClient?
Hi everyone,
the recent JSONRPC discussion and my last work around vdsClient reminded me
that
since a long time there it was vague plans for a vdsClient overhaul
or at least I haven't ever found a detailed plan :)
Since we have to add jsonrpc support anyway, it could be a good chance to
bootstrap
a new vdsClient, and incrementally enhance it as needs arises; the old
vdsClient will
not go away very soon, I guess.
At least, we can to put together a wishlist for a new vdsClient and add it to
the wiki.
My one, so far:
* client library package: we should have a program-friendly python package to
access
VDSM, in order
* JSON for input: I's like to open logs, grab a line including a command and
feed
vdsClient with the very same line
Currently we don't see commands json input in the logs, but this can be a good
idea (in debug mode).
+1
JSON for output: current vdsClient format replies in a mix of text and json. We
need to print the json returned from vdsm as is.
