Distribution create/update operations should be asynchronous
100%
Description
To prevent race conditions related to base_path checking, Distribution create & update operations need to be done asynchronously under the protection of resource locking.
The plan:
- The locked resource will be a (string) URL for the distribution resource collection: " /api/v3/distributions/"
* The base_path checking needs to be moved from the serializer to the model. - Create a new AsyncCreateMixin following the same pattern as update & delete mixins.
- The DistributionViewSet will use the AsyncUpdateMixin, AsyncDeleteMixin, and AsyncCreateMixin

If we still intend to do this, returning a 202 would be a very different api, we should do this before RC.

See 3051 for the rational behind this.

The base_path checking has already been added to the serializer so we just need to protected CRUD operations with a distribution resource lock.
I think we still need to add (or move) validation to the model layer to prevent base_path overlaps. Consider the case where two requests get queued to update different distributors to have base paths foo and foo/bar. They would both pass serializer validation that happens before the tasks get queued. Then both base paths would get written to the database as the tasks get executed. If we move the validation from the serializer to the model layer (just before save) I think this would work.
Everything else looks good.

Agreed.

Moving the checking to just before the save, +1 to that. +1 to your plan @jortel also.
Typically the locks are locking specific instances of a resource, e.g. repo 'foo' versus repo 'bar' being locked. In this case we need to serialize the write operations on any distribution, so I think we use the lock string 'distribution' versus locking on a specific distribution like /distribution/42/ Does this make sense?

Yes. Exactly what I had in mind as well.

I updated the summary and description to omit READ and DELETE. We only need to protect the base-path validation.

Removed: move validation from serializer to model.
Since the task locks on all distributions, we are safe. Plus, we have the added benefit of checking at POST time and at write time, and we can respond immediately to the user that a base_path will not work.
If there is a desire/need to move validation to the model, we should open a new ticket (or reopen https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3051)

Updates test to handle changes to Distribution CUD operations
Create, update, and delete for Distributions were made asynchronous in: pulp/pulpcore#6 in response to issue 3044: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3044 Because of these changes, tests that create distributions previously expected this action to return a distribution but now receive a task so additional steps were needed to retrieve the distribution from the created_resources of the task
