==============================
Swift - Object storage service
==============================
Overview
~~~~~~~~
Kolla can deploy a full working Swift setup in either a **all-in-one** or
**multinode** setup.
Networking
~~~~~~~~~~
The following interfaces are used by Swift:
External API interface (``kolla_external_vip_interface``)
This interface is used by users to access the Swift public API.
Internal API interface (``api_interface``)
This interface is used by users to access the Swift internal API. It is also
used by HAProxy to access the Swift proxy servers.
Swift Storage interface (``swift_storage_interface``)
This interface is used by the Swift proxy server to access the account,
container and object servers.
Swift replication interface (``swift_replication_interface``)
This interface is used for Swift storage replication traffic.
This is optional as the default configuration uses
the ``swift_storage_interface`` for replication traffic.
Disks with a partition table (recommended)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Swift requires block devices to be available for storage. To prepare a disk
for use as a Swift storage device, a special partition name and filesystem
label need to be added.
The following should be done on each storage node, the example is shown
for three disks:
.. warning::
ALL DATA ON DISK will be LOST!
.. code-block:: console
index=0
for d in sdc sdd sde; do
parted /dev/${d} -s -- mklabel gpt mkpart KOLLA_SWIFT_DATA 1 -1
sudo mkfs.xfs -f -L d${index} /dev/${d}1
(( index++ ))
done
For evaluation, loopback devices can be used in lieu of real disks:
.. code-block:: console
index=0
for d in sdc sdd sde; do
free_device=$(losetup -f)
fallocate -l 1G /tmp/$d
losetup $free_device /tmp/$d
parted $free_device -s -- mklabel gpt mkpart KOLLA_SWIFT_DATA 1 -1
sudo mkfs.xfs -f -L d${index} ${free_device}p1
(( index++ ))
done
Disks without a partition table
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kolla also supports unpartitioned disk (filesystem on ``/dev/sdc`` instead of
``/dev/sdc1``) detection purely based on filesystem label. This is generally
not a recommended practice but can be helpful for Kolla to take over Swift
deployment already using disk like this.
Given hard disks with labels swd1, swd2, swd3, use the following settings in
``ansible/roles/swift/defaults/main.yml``.
.. code-block:: yaml
swift_devices_match_mode: "prefix"
swift_devices_name: "swd"
Rings
~~~~~
Before running Swift we need to generate **rings**, which are binary compressed
files that at a high level let the various Swift services know where data is in
the cluster. We hope to automate this process in a future release.
The following example commands should be run from the ``operator`` node to
generate rings for a demo setup. The commands work with **disks with partition
table** example listed above. Please modify accordingly if your setup is
different.
If using a separate replication network it is necessary to add the replication
network IP addresses to the rings. See the :swift-doc:`Swift documentation
<replication_network.html#dedicated-replication-network>` for details on
how to do that.
Prepare for Rings generating
----------------------------
To prepare for Swift Rings generating, run the following commands to initialize
the environment variable and create ``/etc/kolla/config/swift`` directory:
.. code-block:: console
STORAGE_NODES=(192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4)
KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE="kolla/centos-source-swift-base:4.0.0"
mkdir -p /etc/kolla/config/swift
Generate Object Ring
--------------------
To generate Swift object ring, run the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
docker run \
--rm \
-v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
$KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE \
swift-ring-builder \
/etc/kolla/config/swift/object.builder create 10 3 1
for node in ${STORAGE_NODES[@]}; do
for i in {0..2}; do
docker run \
--rm \
-v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
$KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE \
swift-ring-builder \
/etc/kolla/config/swift/object.builder add r1z1-${node}:6000/d${i} 1;
done
done
Generate Account Ring
---------------------
To generate Swift account ring, run the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
docker run \
--rm \
-v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
$KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE \
swift-ring-builder \
/etc/kolla/config/swift/account.builder create 10 3 1
for node in ${STORAGE_NODES[@]}; do
for i in {0..2}; do
docker run \
--rm \
-v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
$KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE \
swift-ring-builder \
/etc/kolla/config/swift/account.builder add r1z1-${node}:6001/d${i} 1;
done
done
Generate Container Ring
-----------------------
To generate Swift container ring, run the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
docker run \
--rm \
-v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
$KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE \
swift-ring-builder \
/etc/kolla/config/swift/container.builder create 10 3 1
for node in ${STORAGE_NODES[@]}; do
for i in {0..2}; do
docker run \
--rm \
-v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
$KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE \
swift-ring-builder \
/etc/kolla/config/swift/container.builder add r1z1-${node}:6002/d${i} 1;
done
done
.. end
Rebalance
---------
To rebalance the ring files:
.. code-block:: console
for ring in object account container; do
docker run \
--rm \
-v /etc/kolla/config/swift/:/etc/kolla/config/swift/ \
$KOLLA_SWIFT_BASE_IMAGE \
swift-ring-builder \
/etc/kolla/config/swift/${ring}.builder rebalance;
done
For more information, see :swift-doc:`the Swift documentation
<install/initial-rings.html>`.
Deploying
~~~~~~~~~
Enable Swift in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
enable_swift : "yes"
If you are to deploy multiple policies, override the variable
``swift_extra_ring_files`` with the list of your custom ring files, .builder
and .ring.gz all together. This will append them to the list of default rings.
.. code-block:: yaml
swift_extra_ring_files:
- object-1.builder
- object-1.ring.gz
Once the rings are in place, deploying Swift is the same as any other Kolla
Ansible service:
.. code-block:: console
# kolla-ansible deploy -i <path/to/inventory-file>
Verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A very basic smoke test:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack container create mycontainer
+---------------------------------------+--------------+------------------------------------+
| account | container | x-trans-id |
+---------------------------------------+--------------+------------------------------------+

S3 API
~~~~~~
The Swift S3 API can be enabled by setting ``enable_swift_s3api`` to ``true``
in ``globals.yml``. It is disabled by default. In order to use this API it is
necessary to obtain EC2 credentials from Keystone. See the :swift-doc:`the
Swift documentation
<admin/middleware.html#module-swift.common.middleware.s3api.s3api>` for
details.
Swift Recon
~~~~~~~~~~~
Enable Swift Recon in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
enable_swift_recon : "yes"
The Swift role in Kolla Ansible is still using the old role format. Unlike many
other Kolla Ansible roles, it won't automatically add the new volume to the
containers in existing deployments when running `kolla-ansible reconfigure`.
Instead we must use the `kolla-ansible upgrade` command, which will remove the
existing containers and then put them back again.
Example usage:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo docker exec swift_object_server swift-recon --all`
For more information, see :swift-doc:`the Swift documentation
<admin/objectstorage-monitoring.html>`.
