VDSM call 17/5/2016

mzamzal, mpolednik, edwardh, danken, ybronhei, igoihman, nsoffer, pkliczew

mzamza -
* Working on debian support to run vms. still experimental. Milan will send elaborated mail about it.

pkliczew
* We replaced the json with yaml schema, now when engine sends not well defined request we warn it in vdsm.log. this leaded to many warn logs which makes it harder to follow issues. we currently look for solution there.
* Additional to that, it exposed issue with gluster cli that we currently investigate.

igoihman
* We merged a patch that from now on every test that we add to the system it needs to pass python3 unless you add it to a blacklist. This is another way to remind developers to be compatible with python3 (this part of accelerating our move to python3 as for now python-blivert which gluster uses won't be available in f25 and above for python2 - so we must support python3 to work over later fedora versions).
* We merged tox support which replaces the need for pep8 and pyflakes. This allows to align with specific versions of pep8 and pyflakes. I updated vdsm-developers wiki patch about that.

nsoffer -
* Working on discard fixes - allows to reuse wiped storage.
* Supporting flash in mount points.
* Fix circular dependencies in storage server tests.
* Introduced Image uploader - daemon (ovirt-imageio) that allows to upload (later download) images directly from engine by http from hosts
* Proposed to have vdsm blog that talks about new plans such as the debian support.

mpolednik
* Working on fixing the api to changeCD (https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/56805/).

danken -
* openvswitch support - still work in process. we might get it async to 4.0.

ybronhei -
* Managed to push forward host package refactoring and will publish soon the metric collection plans

Thanks for participating. Feel free to comment
