I am announcing my candidacy for election as Searchlight PTL. I've been a
|
|
leading contributor and core reviewer since Searchlight's inception as a
|
|
standalone project in Vancouver.
|
|
|
|
Under Travis' very capable guidance Searchlight has reached a 1.0 Newton
|
|
release which supports nearly all of the widely-used Openstack services and
|
|
makes it easy to add support for others. We've made great improvements to
|
|
the way that we index data both in terms of use by clients and in reliability
|
|
and performance.
|
|
|
|
My goals for Ocata are thus based more around incremental improvement than
|
|
large numbers of features:
|
|
|
|
- Increasing ease of use and exploring opportunities afforded to user
|
|
interfaces by Searchlight's querying and aggregation capabilities.
|
|
- Continuing to work on improved coordination with other projects around
|
|
notifications to make indexing more reliable.
|
|
- Making it easier for developers from other services to write plugins for
|
|
their services for Searchlight to make use of their greater domain knowledge
|
|
and increase community involvement; we've made some steps in this direction
|
|
already with Ironic.
|
|
- Integrating architectural improvements to allow pluggable publishers for data
|
|
received via notifications. This was a feature originally planned for Newton
|
|
but that didn't make it in, and allows Searchlight's indexing process to feed
|
|
destinations other than Elasticsearch (for instance, Zaqar).
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately I will likely not be at the summit in Barcelona, but if elected
|
|
will work closely with Travis as part of the hand-off to ensure we take care
|
|
of any requests or issues that come up during the summit.
