==============
DB Development
==============
Valence uses Etcd as the management DB for handling multiple pod managers,
as well as underneath hardware resources info.
There is one root Etcd directory for the pod managers, named
"/pod_managers".
Each key-value pair under directory "/pod_managers" indicates
information about one pod manager.
.. NOTE::
All db layer codes are located in valence/db.
Add a model for db
------------------
Models are defined in the valence/db/models.py file. A new model
should be updated there.
To add an example model for Etcd db, we should create
a class that inherits the ModelBase class in valence/db/models.py.
.. NOTE::
If timestamp info is needed for this model,
please inherit ModelBaseWithTimestamp class instead.
i.e.
.. code-block:: python
# valence/db/models.py
class ExampleModel(ModelBase):
# This is the Etcd dir the new model lives in
path = "example_model"
# The fields will be wrapped as a value for one object
fields = {
'uuid': {
'validate': types.Text.validate
},
'name': {
'validate': types.Text.validate
},
}
Add a driver for model
----------------------
Etcd driver definition is in the file valence/db/etcd_driver.py.
Considering adding operations for one example model,
we should create a class in valence/db/etcd_driver.py.
i.e.
.. code-block:: python
# valence/db/etcd_driver.py
@six.add_metaclass(singleton.Singleton)
class ExampleDriver(object):
def __init__(self, host=config.etcd_host, port=config.etcd_port):
self.client = etcd.Client(host=host, port=port)
def get_example_object(self, object_id):
pass
def create_example_object(self, values):
pass
There should be more guides to be continued later.
