Version 0.0.7 (Mon, 23 Mar 2009): - added support for offline nodes, which are not used as targets for instance relocation and if they hold instances the hbal algorithm will attempt to relocate these away - added support for offline instances, which now will no longer skew the free memory estimation of nodes; the algorithm will no longer create conditions for N+1 failures when such instances are later started - implemented a complete model of node resources, in order to prevent an unintended re-occurrence of cases like the offline instance were we miscalculate some node resource; this gives warning now in case the node reported free disk or free memory deviates by more than a set amount from the expected value - a new tool *hscan* that can generate the input text-file for the other tools by collection via RAPI - some small changes to the build system to make it more friendly; also included the generated documentation in the source archive Version 0.0.6 (Mon, 16 Mar 2009): - re-factored the hbal algorithm to make it stable in the sense that it gives the same solution when restarted from the middle; barring rounding of disk/memory and incomplete reporting from Ganeti (for 1.2), it should be now feasible to rely on its output without generating moves ad infinitum - the hbal algorithm now uses two more variables: the node N+1 failures and the amount of reserved memory; the first of which tries to ‘fix’ the N+1 status, the latter tries to distribute secondaries more equally - the hbal algorithm now uses two more moves at each step: replace+failover and failover+replace (besides the original failover, replace, and failover+replace+failover) - slightly changed the build system to embed GIT version/tags into the binaries so that we know for a binary from which tree it was done, either via ‘--version’ or via “strings hbal|grep version” - changed the solution list and in general the hbal output to be more clear by default, and changed “gnt-instance failover” to “gnt-instance migrate” - added man pages for the two binaries Version 0.0.5 (Mon, 09 Mar 2009): - a few small improvements for hbal (possibly undone by later changes), hbal is now quite faster - fix documentation building - allow hbal to work on non N+1 compliant clusters, but without guarantees that the end cluster will be compliant; in any case, this should give a smaller number of nodes that are not compliant if the cluster state permits it - strip common domain suffix from nodes and instances, so that output is shorter and hopefully clearer Version 0.0.4 (Sun, 15 Feb 2009): - better balancing algorithm in hbal - implemented an RAPI collector, now the cluster data can be gathered automatically via RAPI and doesn't need manual export of node and instance list Version 0.0.3 (Wed, 28 Jan 2009): - initial release of the hbal, a cluster rebalancing tool - input data format changed due to hbal requirements Version 0.0.2 (Tue, 06 Jan 2009): - fix handling of some common cases (cluster N+1 compliant from the start, too big depth given, failure to compute solution) - add option to print the needed command list for reaching the proposed solution Version 0.0.1 (Tue, 06 Jan 2009): - initial release of hn1 tool
