.. |cbox| raw:: html Exercise 3: Using Bedrock and composing with other services =========================================================== In this exercise we will use Bedrock to deploy a daemon containing an instance of our phonebook provider. We will then implement a phonebook backend that uses Yokan, and organize the composition of the two within the same daemon. Everything in this exercise relies on the codebase from Exercise 2, however you don't need to have completed Exercise 2 to do this exercise. |cbox| First, make sure that the Spack environment from Exercise 2 is activated (:code:`spack env status` should show you in which environment you are). |cbox| From the build directory, re-run cmake as follows. .. code-block:: console cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=ON -DENABLE_BEDROCK=ON make This time a **libYP-bedrock-module.so** is being built. This is the Bedrock module for our phonebook service, i.e. the library that tells Bedrock how to instanciate and use our phonebook provider. |cbox| To make sure Bedrock finds this library, execute the following command from the build directory. .. code-block:: console export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:`pwd`/src |cbox| :code:`examples/bedrock-config.json` is an example of Bedrock configuration that spins up a phonebook provider with provider ID 42. This provider manages one phonebook of type *"dummy"*. You can try our this configuration using the :code:`bedrock` program as follows. .. code-block:: console bedrock na+sm -c ../examples/bedrock-config.json You can copy the address printed by bedrock on the last line of its log, and in another terminal (don't forget to activate your spack environment), run the following command. .. code-block:: console bedrock-query na+sm -a -p You will see the current configuration of the service, including a phonebook provider that manages a phonebook. Bedrock has completed the input configuration with a lot of information about Mercury, Argobots, etc. These information can be very useful to communicate to Mochi developers when you try to find out what's wrong with your service. |cbox| We will now add Yokan in our service. To add Yokan as dependency to our spack environment, run the following command. .. code-block:: console spack add mochi-yokan+bedrock spack install This will install Yokan. .. important:: :code:`spack add` will add the dependency to your active environment, but you should also make sure to list this new dependency in the list of specs in :code:`spack.yaml` at the root of your project so that it is taken into account next time you want to build a new environment from it. |cbox| Edit :code:`CMakeLists.txt` at the root of your project to add :code:`find_package(yokan REQUIRED)` (e.g. after the call to :code:`find_package(thallium REQUIRED)`). .. note:: When developing your own service, don't forget to also edit the :code:`src/*.cmake.in` and :code:`src/*.pc.in` files to add relevant dependencies there. Those are the files used by cmake and pkg-config respectively to search for dependencies when people are using your code. |cbox| Edit :code:`src/CMakeLists.txt` to add :code:`yokan-client` as a dependency for the :code:`YP-server` library (i.e. find the call to :code:`target_link_libraries` for :code:`YP-server` and add :code:`yokan-client` in the list of public dependencies). |cbox| From the build directory, re-run :code:`cmake ..` to make it find Yokan. |cbox| Open :code:`examples/bedrock-config.json` and add the Yokan library in the libraries section. .. code-block:: json "yokan": "libyokan-bedrock-module.so" |cbox| In this file as well, we will instanciate a Yokan provider with a Yokan database. In the providers section, before the phonebook provider, add the following provider definition. .. code-block:: json { "type": "yokan", "name": "my-yokan-provider", "provider_id": 123, "config": { "databases": [ { "type": "map", "name": "my-db" } ] } }, .. important:: It is important that the Yokan provider be defined before the YP provider because the former will be a dependency of the latter. |cbox| If you re-run :code:`bedrock` with this new configuration then call :code:`bedrock-query`, you should be able to confirm that your Bedrock daemon is now running two providers: one YP provider and one Yokan provider. Of course, these two don't know about each other, they simply share the resources of the same process. We will now introduce a dependency between YP and Yokan. |cbox| Edit :code:`src/BedrockModule.cpp` and find the :code:`getProviderDependencies` member function at the end. Change :code:`static const std::vector no_dependency;` into a variable that lists en actual dependency, i.e.: .. code-block:: cpp static const std::vector dependencies = {{"yokan_ph", "yokan", BEDROCK_REQUIRED}}; The first field, :code:`"yokan_ph"`, is the name by which YP will reference this dependency. :code:`"yokan"` is the type of dependency. :code:`BEDROCK_REQUIRED` indicates that this dependency is required. |cbox| If you rebuild your code now and re-run the Bedrock configuration, it will display an error message: .. code-block:: console [critical] Missing dependency yokan_ph in configuration So let's fix that by going again into :code:`examples/bedrock-config.json`, and add the following in the field in the definition of our YP provider. .. code-block:: json "dependencies": { "yokan_ph": "yokan:123@local" } You can also use :code:`"my-yokan-provider"` instead of :code:`"yokan:123"`. Now Bedrock should restart accepting your configuration. |cbox| Edit :code:`src/BedrockModule.cpp` once again. This time we will look at the :code:`registerProvider` function at the beginning of the file. Use the args variable to find the dependency to Yokan as follows. .. code-block:: cpp auto it = args.dependencies.find("yokan_ph"); yk_provider_handle_t yokan_ph = it->second.dependencies[0]->getHandle(); You will need to include :code:`yokan/provider-handle.h` to get the definition of :code:`yk_provider_handle_t`. You have now retrieved a Yokan provider handle pointing to your Yokan provider, in the context of registering a YP provider. Bonus: continuing to wire YP with Yokan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this point, you have learned what this exercise aimed for you to learn, namely how to write a Bedrock module, a Bedrock configuration with multiple providers, and how to manage dependencies in Bedrock configurations and Bedrock modules. This bonus section invites you to complete the dependency injection of Yokan into YP. It is a lot more complicated and a lot less guided, hence feel free to stop there and ignore this bonus section. |cbox| First, you will need to instanciate a :code:`yk::Provider` in your tests (:code:`tests/AdminTest.cpp` and :code:`tests/PhonebookTest.cpp`) and make sure it manages at least one database by passing it an appropriate configuration string. Here we are doing manually what Bedrock would normally do from a JSON configuration file. |cbox| In :code:`src/ProviderImpl.hpp` add a :code:`const tl::provider_handle& yokan_ph` argument to the constructor. Add a corresponding :code:`m_yokan_ph` field to the class and assign the provided constructor argument to it. |cbox| In :code:`include/YP/Provier.hpp`, add a :code:`const tl::provider_handle& yokan_ph` argument to the two constructors. In :code:`src/Provider.cpp` change the signature of the constructor accordingly as well as the call to the underlying :code:`ProviderImpl` constructor. |cbox| You can convert this :code:`yokan_ph` into a thallium provider handle as follows before passing it to the :code:`Provider` constructor. .. code-block:: cpp tl::provider_handle ph{ args.engine, yokan_ph->addr, yokan_ph->provider_id, false}; You have successfully injected a Yokan dependency into the YP provider! The rest of this exercise will be less directed. The goal is now to pass this provider handle down to the dummy phonebook so that it can use Yokan as an implementation of a key/value store instead of relying on an :code:`unordered_map`. You should now be familiar enough with the code to make the necessary changes bellow without too much guidance. Keep the API of `Yokan `_ open in a web browser for reference. Yokan also has a C++ API `here `_. |cbox| To be able to pass the Yokan provider handle down to a backend (e.g. a dummy phonebook), you will need to change the signature of the functions that create and open a phonebook (the :code:`createPhonebook` and :code:`openPhonebook` in :code:`include/YP/Backend.hpp`, as well as the type of :code:`std::function` stored in :code:`create_fn` and :code:`open_fn` maps, and the signatures of the lambdas in the :code:`__PhonebookBackendRegistration` class down the file). |cbox| This then implies changing :code:`src/dummy/DummyBackend.cpp` and :code:`src/dummy/DummyBackend.hpp` accordingly. |cbox| You will need to tell your dummy phonebook backend which database to use. Yokan databases can be identified by a name, so you may want to look for the name of this database in the configuration passed to the phonebook (:code:`std::string db_name = config["db_name"].get();`), using the :code:`engine` to create a :code:`yokan::Client` (:code:`yokan::Client yk_client{engine.get_margo_instance_()};`) and use this :code:`yokan::Client::findDatabaseByName()` with the appropriate arguments. (:code:`tl::provider_handle::provider_id()` and :code:`tl::provider_handle::get_addr()` can be useful to obtain the provider handle's provider ID and :code:`hg_addr_t` respectively). |cbox| :code:`yokan::Client::findDatabaseByName` returns a :code:`yokan::Database` instance that you can store in the :code:`DummyBackend` class. |cbox| In the :code:`insert` and :code:`lookup` functions of the dummy phonebook, you may now use the put and get methods of this :code:`yokan::Database` instance to put and get phone numbers. |cbox| In practice, you could copy the dummy backend implementation into a new type of backend that specifically uses Yokan. Don't hesitate to implement multiple backends for your service, with different dependencies or different strategies for solving the same problem.
