Hi I discussed it with Juan (cc-ed). There used to be a bug in the JDBC authenticion extension that artificially delayed RESTAPI responses by 5 seconds: brute force prevention login delay should not be applied to successful login requests https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1255814 That matches the description of the issue, but in theory it has been fixed. I would suggest him to check that he is using the right version of the extension. I did not use the extension ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-jdbc, and I don't

In addition we also know that retrieving large lists of objects with the SDK is slow: [RFE][performance] - generate large scale list running to slow. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1221238 We don't have a solution for that yet. CC-ing Juan in case you have additional questions.

That line takes a long time to execute because it has to process two large Python modules: the "params" module that contains a class per each type used by the API (393 classes) and the "brokers" module that contains a class per each resource used by the API (358 classes). That makes a total of 751 classes. In my environment it takes 0.9 seconds, approx. You may want to use the python profile in your environment and share the results: $ cat > profile.py <<. import cProfile cProfile.run("from ovirtsdk.api import API") . $ python profile.py I won't be surprised to see this taking those 3 seconds in a slower environment. But even if this takes those 3 seconds it shouldn't be a big problem, because you shouldn't be running that "from ... import ..." line frequently. Your program should do this once only, when it starts. Assume that I have two functions to implement, one is to list all the vms

Yeah, I am just using Python scripts to access the RESTAPI, since I am

If for whatever the reason you decide to call external python scripts from another program then you will have to pay the price of the startup of the Python SDK. If that is unacceptable because of performance then you should look for a different way to access the RESTAPI, like sending XML or JSON directly, or using the Java SDK, or rbovirt, it all depends on the technology that you are using for your application. > > > > > In addition we also know that retrieving large lists of objects with the > > SDK is slow: > > > > [RFE][performance] - generate large scale list running to slow. > > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1221238 > > > > We don't have a solution for that yet. > > > > CC-ing Juan in case you have additional questions. > > > > > > On Mon, Nov 23, 2015 at 11:27 AM, John Hunter < zhjwpku(a)gmail.com <mailto:zhjwpku@gmail.com> > > <mailto:zhjwpku@gmail.com <mailto:zhjwpku@gmail.com>>> wrote: > > > > Hi guys, > > > > I am using the ovirt-engine-sdk-python to communicate with the > > ovirt-engine, > > I am ok to list the vms but the processing time is too long, > > like 4.5 seconds, > > and this line: > > from ovirtsdk.api import API > > take almost 3 seconds. > > > > This seems a little bit longer than I expected it to be, so I am > > asking is there > > a quicker way to communicate with the ovirt-engine? > > > -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.

Python imports are done only once, on the first time you import a module anywhere. The module is stored in sys.modules, and the next import fetch the module object from sys.modules. Can you share a profile of a simple script importing the Python sdk? Do: python -m cProfile -o myscript.prof myscript.py The profile will be stored in myscript.prof. For viewing the profile, I recommend to use the profile-stats tool: https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/master/contrib/profile-stats > > How can I run the "from ... import ..." just once ? > > >> > >> > In addition we also know that retrieving large lists of objects >> with the >> > SDK is slow: >> > >> > [RFE][performance] - generate large scale list running to slow. >> > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1221238 >> > >> > We don't have a solution for that yet. >> > >> > CC-ing Juan in case you have additional questions. >> > >> > >> > On Mon, Nov 23, 2015 at 11:27 AM, John Hunter <zhjwpku(a)gmail.com >> > <mailto:zhjwpku@gmail.com>> wrote: >> > >> > Hi guys, >> > >> > I am using the ovirt-engine-sdk-python to communicate with the >> > ovirt-engine, >> > I am ok to list the vms but the processing time is too long, >> > like 4.5 seconds, >> > and this line: >> > from ovirtsdk.api import API >> > take almost 3 seconds. >> > >> > This seems a little bit longer than I expected it to be, so I >> am >> > asking is there >> > a quicker way to communicate with the ovirt-engine? >> > >> >> -- >> Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
