  • Any stuck code reviews to discuss:
    •  ?
• Open discussion
  • (mlakat) We'd like to get some advice on: What is the standard OpenStack way of running something (in this case an os.path.getsize()) with a timeout? This came up as part of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1691131 Basically what happened is that a broken NFS connection might block os.path.getsize(path) forever. Approaches tried:
    • putting it on a separate green thread: Still blocks the main green thread forever
    • putting it on a separate Thread: We have no way of killing threads nicely in python
    • use multiprocess module: seems to work, but I am a bit worried about the overhead of it
    • Someone must have solved this already in OpenStack
  •  ?
