Description

Used Version

"git+https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore-plugin.git@0.1.0rc3"

Steps to reproduce

I created different size files

dd if=/dev/zero of=500m.bin bs=256M count=2
dd if=/dev/zero of=750m.bin bs=256M count=3
dd if=/dev/zero of=1g.bin bs=256M count=4
dd if=/dev/zero of=1.5g.bin bs=256M count=6
dd if=/dev/zero of=5.5g.bin bs=256M count=22

Using script test-chunk.sh join to this ticket I do:

./test-chunk.sh 500m.bin # OK
./test-chunk.sh 750m.bin  # OK
./test-chunk.sh 1g.bin  # OK
./test-chunk.sh 1.5g.bin # Fails with error

Creating artifact

http: error: Request timed out (30s).

Changing the script and adding bigger timeout

http --timeout=120 POST $PORT/pulp/api/v3/artifacts/ upload=$UPLOAD

I get the error:

Creating artifact

http: error: ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",)) while doing POST request to URL: http://dev-pulp-server.ptci.dev:24817/pulp/api/v3/artifacts/

Trynig the bigest file 5.5g.bin I get the error:

./test-chunk.sh 5.5g.bin

Thanks for the excellent bug report. It makes investigating these issues easy.

I looked into why artifact creation is failing for files < 2GB. The reason is that it's taking too long to calculate the checksums. There are 6 checksum types and each one takes about 4-8 seconds from the command line in my test environment. Calculating the digests in Python seems to add about 1-2 seconds. The default timeout in gunicorn is 30 seconds after which you get:

Jul 05 14:21:56 pulp3 gunicorn[13691]: [2019-07-05 14:21:56 +0000] [13691] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:29843)
Jul 05 14:21:57 pulp3 gunicorn[13691]: [2019-07-05 14:21:57 +0000] [30031] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 30031

You can raise this timeout or also you can pass in the checksums when creating the artifact[0]. I think the best solution though might be to make artifact creation a background task.

+1 to moving this to a task. It's there to allow for long-running workloads like this one.

We should calculate the checksums of each chunk and then simply add tehm up at the end. That way the final request can be performed quickly.

Artifact creation API calculates the checksums of the upload as it is being received. So this call can stay synchronous. However, we should make the 'upload_commit] operation[0] asynchronous. The checksums calculated during that task should then be saved to the db so they can be used for creating an artifact from the upload.

The upload commit action only calculates the sha256 checksum. We'd have to duplicate the logic that calculates checksums from artifact creation to upload commit. Why avoid having a background task for artifact creation?

@daviddavis and I discussed this some more on IRC and here is the plan we came up with:

Make the 'uploads_commit'[0] return a 202 and calculate the checksum of a file in a task. The created_resource of that task will be an Artifact.

Remove the ability of the user to submit an upload href when creating an Artifact with 'artifacts_create'[1].

Regarding the design in https://pulp.plan.io/issues/5087#note-11, we have a PUT /uploads/<uuid>/commit/ endpoint that dispatches a task that (among other things) creates an artifact. This artifact is set as a created_resource in the task.

The problem is that pulp-smash is not set up to handle such a case currently as it expects an endpoint that creates a resource to use POST[0]. I lean towards keeping it PUT since the main action is to commit the upload and the artifact creation is a side effect.

Looking for feedback.

pulp-smash should not drive our design. However, I always associate PUT requests with specific resources. In this case the user is making a request on an action URL for the resource. So doing a POST to /pulp/api/v3/uploads/<id>/commit/' seems most appropriate.
