Merge lp:~blr/charms/precise/squid-forwardproxy/fix-unit-state into lp:~canonical-launchpad-branches/charms/precise/squid-forwardproxy/trunk

[Kit Randel]

Manage local unit state with charmhelpers unitdata.kv.

This branch correctly manages the persistence of hook states 'start' and 'relation-auth-helper-joined' using the charmhelpers kv store, instead of the broken and nonsensical mess I merged earlier. Mea culpa.

review: Needs Fixing (code)

[lp:~blr/charms/precise/squid-forwardproxy/fix-unit-state]

63. By Kit Randel on 2015-12-16

Unset hook_start unitdata on stop hook.

64. By Kit Randel on 2015-12-16

Reloading squid3 is redundant given fallthrough restart case.

65. By Kit Randel on 2015-12-17

Remove unnecessary unitdata keys 'state_delayed_start' and 'hook_auth_helper_joined'.

66. By Kit Randel on 2015-12-17

* Remove potential vector for symlink attack.
* Update charmhelpers.

67. By Kit Randel on 2015-12-17

Factor out test for delayed service start.

68. By Kit Randel on 2015-12-17

Move invalid squid configuration CRITICAL log to service_squid3('check').

+        The 'required_data' list should contain dicts of required data (or
+        dependency managers that act like dicts and know how to collect the data).
+        Only when all items in the 'required_data' list are populated are the list
+        of 'data_ready' and 'start' callbacks executed.  See `is_ready()` for more
+        information.
+
+        The 'provided_data' list should contain relation data providers, most likely
+        a subclass of :class:`charmhelpers.core.services.helpers.RelationContext`,
+        that will indicate a set of data to set on a given relation.
+
+        The 'data_ready' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when all items in 'required_data' pass `is_ready()`.
+        Each callback will be called with the service name as the only parameter.
+        After all of the 'data_ready' callbacks are called, the 'start' callbacks
+        are fired.
+
+        The 'data_lost' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when a 'required_data' item no longer passes
+        `is_ready()`.  Each callback will be called with the service name as the
+        only parameter.  After all of the 'data_lost' callbacks are called,
+        the 'stop' callbacks are fired.
+
+        The 'start' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when starting the service, after the 'data_ready'
+        callbacks are complete.  Each callback will be called with the service
+        name as the only parameter.  This defaults to
+        `[host.service_start, services.open_ports]`.
+
+        The 'stop' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when stopping the service.  If the service is
+        being stopped because it no longer has all of its 'required_data', this
+        will be called after all of the 'data_lost' callbacks are complete.
+        Each callback will be called with the service name as the only parameter.
+        This defaults to `[services.close_ports, host.service_stop]`.
+
+        The 'ports' value should be a list of ports to manage.  The default
+        'start' handler will open the ports after the service is started,
+        and the default 'stop' handler will close the ports prior to stopping
+        the service.
+
+
+        Examples:
+
+        The following registers an Upstart service called bingod that depends on
+        a mongodb relation and which runs a custom `db_migrate` function prior to
+        restarting the service, and a Runit service called spadesd::
+
+            manager = services.ServiceManager([
+                {

+Intro
+-----
+
+A simple way to store state in units. This provides a key value
+storage with support for versioned, transactional operation,
+and can calculate deltas from previous values to simplify unit logic
+when processing changes.
+
+
+Hook Integration
+----------------
+
+There are several extant frameworks for hook execution, including
+
+ - charmhelpers.core.hookenv.Hooks
+ - charmhelpers.core.services.ServiceManager
+
+The storage classes are framework agnostic, one simple integration is
+via the HookData contextmanager. It will record the current hook
+execution environment (including relation data, config data, etc.),
+setup a transaction and allow easy access to the changes from
+previously seen values. One consequence of the integration is the
+reservation of particular keys ('rels', 'unit', 'env', 'config',
+'charm_revisions') for their respective values.
+
+Here's a fully worked integration example using hookenv.Hooks::
+
+       from charmhelper.core import hookenv, unitdata
+
+       hook_data = unitdata.HookData()
+       db = unitdata.kv()
+       hooks = hookenv.Hooks()
+
+       @hooks.hook
+       def config_changed():
+           # Print all changes to configuration from previously seen
+           # values.
+           for changed, (prev, cur) in hook_data.conf.items():
+               print('config changed', changed,
+                     'previous value', prev,
+                     'current value',  cur)
+
+           # Get some unit specific bookeeping
+           if not db.get('pkg_key'):
+               key = urllib.urlopen('https://example.com/pkg_key').read()
+               db.set('pkg_key', key)
+
+           # Directly access all charm config as a mapping.
+           conf = db.getrange('config', True)
+
+           # Directly access all relation data as a mapping
+           rels = db.getrange('rels', True)
+
+       if __name__ == '__main__':
+           with hook_data():
+               hook.execute()
+
+
+A more basic integration is via the hook_scope context manager which simply
+manages transaction scope (and records hook name, and timestamp)::
+
+  >>> from unitdata import kv
+  >>> db = kv()
+  >>> with db.hook_scope('install'):
+  ...    # do work, in transactional scope.
+  ...    db.set('x', 1)
+  >>> db.get('x')
+  1
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Values are automatically json de/serialized to preserve basic typing
+and complex data struct capabilities (dicts, lists, ints, booleans, etc).
+
+Individual values can be manipulated via get/set::
+
+   >>> kv.set('y', True)
+   >>> kv.get('y')
+   True
+
+   # We can set complex values (dicts, lists) as a single key.
+   >>> kv.set('config', {'a': 1, 'b': True'})
+
+   # Also supports returning dictionaries as a record which
+   # provides attribute access.
+   >>> config = kv.get('config', record=True)
+   >>> config.b
+   True
+
+
+Groups of keys can be manipulated with update/getrange::
+
+   >>> kv.update({'z': 1, 'y': 2}, prefix="gui.")
+   >>> kv.getrange('gui.', strip=True)
+   {'z': 1, 'y': 2}
+
+When updating values, its very helpful to understand which values
+have actually changed and how have they changed. The storage
+provides a delta method to provide for this::
+
+   >>> data = {'debug': True, 'option': 2}
+   >>> delta = kv.delta(data, 'config.')
+   >>> delta.debug.previous
+   None
+   >>> delta.debug.current
+   True
+   >>> delta
+   {'debug': (None, True), 'option': (None, 2)}
+
+Note the delta method does not persist the actual change, it needs to
+be explicitly saved via 'update' method::
+
+   >>> kv.update(data, 'config.')
+
+Values modified in the context of a hook scope retain historical values
+associated to the hookname.
+
+   >>> with db.hook_scope('config-changed'):
+   ...      db.set('x', 42)
+   >>> db.gethistory('x')
+   [(1, u'x', 1, u'install', u'2015-01-21T16:49:30.038372'),
+    (2, u'x', 42, u'config-changed', u'2015-01-21T16:49:30.038786')]
