  2. Summary • Quality • Current status 1.2 • R-GMA in release 2.0 • Recent Requirements • Work at Budapest • Future work WP3

  3. Quality • Use XP • So code does not belong to the individual but we are all responsible for the code • Ego-less programming • Some pair-programming • ~100 Unit tests for R-GMA • Insist that all unit tests are run before work is checked in • Unit tests are being written as problems appear • Follow approved Java coding style (most of the time) • Log4j is used uniformly throughout the code • Will be active in QAG WP3

  4. Status in 1.2 • MDS seems to be working – with the hierarchy – but: • It relies on some patches • MDS 2.2 is claimed to fix many bugs • Taking a look at MDS 2.2 to see if it can indeed be introduced easily – so far it looks good • Support of 1.2 • All categories of bugs go to me to dispatch to the most appropriate person or persons WP3

  5. GIIS GRIS GRIS GRIS InfoProvider InfoProvider InfoProvider Release 1.2 RB WP3

  6. RB GOUT Archivers and other R-GMA components GIN GIN GIN InfoProvider InfoProvider InfoProvider Release 2.0 Multi-valued attributes make it not totally trivial We will also leave the GRISs for the RB WP3

  7. GOUT Archiver Consumer (CE) Consumer (SE) Consumer LDAP DataBaseProducer RDBMS Consumer (..) Clean up WP3

  8. R-GMA in release 2.0 • Mediator able to merge information from several producers • GRM/PROVE for parallel applications • Authentication (from WP2) • Ad-hoc authorisation sufficient for L&B to ensure that users can only find out about their own jobs • “Snapshot” producer • Canonical producer • Java, C++, C, Python and Perl APIs • Pulse • GUI to browse R-GMA data Dates will be defined when we have a release schedule to follow WP3

  9. R-GMA in release 2.0 • GLUE (affects GIN and GOUT) • Plan to allow users to publish their own tables • We may not offer this immediately because we won't have sufficient security in place. • We will in any case provide a general table: • UserTable • Identification • String • Real • Integer • TimeStamp • Publish with WHERE Identification = ‘xxx’ • Easy installation and configuration • For developers • Installers • Users WP3

  10. Release 2.0 Internals • GRRP-like soft state registration • Uniform exception handling • To ensure that useful messages and stack traces are preserved. • This includes communication between Servlet and API • Replication • Distribute the schema and the registry • For performance • For reliability WP3

  11. Recent Requirements • Common request for not losing any information • Lossless communication • Demands for resilience • Keep on “producing” even when unable to contact the registry • Only want latest information (by primary key) • Will provide a snapshot facility • Canonical producer • User defined data access WP3

  12. Work this week • Quality • R-GMA at SZTAKI • GRM / PROVE • Pulse • Security • New directions for R-GMA • Fit in with OGSA • Registry and Schema • “Replication” for performance and reliability • Time stamps • Performance • Theory • Of R-GMA • Plans WP3

  13. New directions for R-GMA • We have produced quite a lot of code • Now need to do some refactoring • Will include redesign of APIs • Distinguish more clearly between using a consumer via the mediator and making a direct connection to one or more producers • Clarify the capabilities of different kinds of producer (including the Canonical Producer) WP3

  14. Primary Producers • Database producer • supports queries over fixed set of tuples • static / history queries • Stream producer • supports queries over changing set of tuples • continuous queries • Snapshot producer • supports “snapshot queries” • offers up-to-date values for each primary key • Canonical producer • being developed by CrossGrid WP3

  15. ProducerServlet ConsumerServlet Producer Consumer IIIIIIII... IIIIIIII... Queue Queue Communication Modes • Stream Producers offer two communication modes for continuous queries: • lossless (infinite buffer size) • lossy WP3

  16. Registry and Schema • We plan deployment for release 2.0 with 3 registries and 3 schemas (per VO?) • The schemas will be exact copies of each other • Need to ensure that there is exactly one definition of a table • The registries will not always be identical but will catch up • Can afford to have a small delay in making producers and consumers known. No problem with producers and consumers which are still in the registry but don’t exist. WP3

  17. Future Work • OGSIfication • We need to do this very soon in order to make sure that we don’t fall behind • Consider how to handle time better in queries • Proper authorisation scheme • More mediator functionality: • Joins • Can do it now by direct connection to a DataBaseProducer – no use of mediator • Might make it into release 2.0 WP3
