James Server

Adopt Pulsar as the messaging technology backing the distributed James server

https://www.mail-archive.com/server-dev@james.apache.org/msg71462.html

A good long term objective for the PMC is to drop RabbitMQ in
favor of pulsar (third parties could package their own components using
RabbitMQ if they wishes...)

This means:

  • Solve the bugs that were found during the Pulsar MailQueue review
  • Pulsar MailQueue need to allow listing blobs in order to be
    deduplication friendly.
  • Provide an event bus based on Pulsar
  • Provide a task manager based on Pulsar
  • Package a distributed server backed by pulsar, deprecate then replace
    the current one.
  • (optionally) support mail queue priorities

While contributions would of course be welcomed on this topic, we could
offer it as part of GSOC 2022, and we could co-mentor it with mentors of
the Pulsar community (see [3])

[3] https://lists.apache.org/thread/y9s7f6hmh51ky30l20yx0dlz458gw259

Would such a plan gain traction around here ?

James Server

[GSOC] James as a (distributed) MX server

Why ?

Alternatives like Postfix...

  • Do not offer a unified view of the mail queue across nodes
  • Requires statefull persistent storage

Given Apache James recent push to adopt a distributed mail queue based on Pulsar supporting delays (JAMES-3687), it starts making sense developing tooling for MX related tooling.

I propose myself to mentor a Gsoc on this topic.

Benefits for the student

At the end of this GSOC you will...

  • Have a solid understanding of email relaying and associated mechanics
  • Understand James modular architecture (mailet/ matcher / routes)
  • Have a hands-on expertise in SQL / NoSQL working with technologies like Cassandra, Redis, JPA...
  • Identify fix and solve architecture problems.
  • Conduct performance tests and develop an operational mindset

Inventory...

James ships a couple of MX related tools within smtp-hooks/mailets in default packages. It would make sense to me to move those as an extension.

James supports today...

checks agains DNS blacklists. `DNSRBLHandler` or `URIRBLHandler` smtp hook for instance. This can be moved as an extension IMO.

We would need a little performance benchmark to document performance implications of activating DNS-RBL.

Finally as quoted by a gitter guy: it would make more sens to have this done as a MailHook rather as a RcptHook as it would avoid doing the same job again and over again for each recipients. See JAMES-3820 .

Grey listing. There's an existing implementation using JDBC as an underlying storage.

Move it as an extension.

Remove JDBC storage, propose 2 storage possibilities: in-memory for single node, REDIS for a distributed topology.

Some work around whitelist mailets? Move it as an extension, propose JPA, Cassandra, and XML configured implementations ? With a route to manage entries in there for JPA + Cassandra ?

I would expect a student to do his own little audit and come up with extra suggestions!

Implement a web ui for James administration

James today provides a command line tool to do administration tasks like creating a domain, listing users, setting quota, etc.
It requires access to JMX port and even if lot of admins are confortable with such tools, to make our user base broader, we probably should expose the same commands in Rest and provide a fancy default web ui.
The task would need some basic skills on frontend tools to design an administration board, knowledge on what REST mean and enough Java understanding to add commands to existing Rest backend.
In the team, we have a strong focus on test (who want a mail server that is not tested enough ?) so we will explain and/or teach the student how to have the right test coverage of the features using modern tools like Cucumber, Selenium, rest-assured, etc.

TrafficControl

GSOC Varnish Cache support in Apache Traffic Control

Background
Apache Traffic Control is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) control plane for large scale content distribution.

Traffic Control currently requires Apache Traffic Server as the underlying cache. Help us expand the scope by integrating with the very popular Varnish Cache.

There are multiple aspects to this project:

  • Configuration Generation: Write software to build Varnish configuration files (VCL). This code will be implemented in our Traffic Ops and cache client side utilities, both written in Go.
  • Health Monitoring: Implement monitoring of the Varnish cache health and performance. This code will run both in the Traffic Monitor component and within Varnish. Traffic Monitor is written in Go and Varnish is written in C.
  • Testing: Adding automated tests for new code

Skills:

  • Proficiency in Go is required
  • A basic knowledge of HTTP and caching is preferred, but not required for this project.

Commons Numbers

Add support for extended precision floating-point numbers

Add implementations of extended precision floating point numbers.

An extended precision floating point number is a series of floating-point numbers that are non-overlapping such that:

double-double (a, b):
            |a| > |b|
            a == a + b

Common representations are double-double and quad-double (see for example David Bailey's paper on a quad-double library: QD).

Many computations in the Commons Numbers and Statistics libraries use extended precision computations where the accumulated error of a double would lead to complete cancellation of all significant bits; or create intermediate overflow of integer values.

This project would formalise the code underlying these use cases with a generic library applicable for use in the case where the result is expected to be a finite value and using Java's BigDecimal and/or BigInteger negatively impacts performance.

An example would be the average of long values where the intermediate sum overflows or the conversion to a double loses bits:

            long[] values = {Long.MAX_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE};
            System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values).average().getAsDouble()); System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values).mapToObj(BigDecimal::valueOf)
            .reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add)
            .divide(BigDecimal.valueOf(values.length)).doubleValue());
            long[] values2 = {Long.MAX_VALUE, Long.MIN_VALUE};
            System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values2).asDoubleStream().average().getAsDouble()); System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values2).mapToObj(BigDecimal::valueOf)
               .reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add)
            .divide(BigDecimal.valueOf(values2.length)).doubleValue());

Apache ShardingSphere Add the feature of switching logging framework

Apache ShardingSphere

Apache ShardingSphere is positioned as a Database Plus, and aims at building a standard layer and ecosystem above heterogeneous databases. It focuses on how to reuse existing databases and their respective upper layer, rather than creating a new database. The goal is to minimize or eliminate the challenges caused by underlying databases fragmentation.

Pagehttps://shardingsphere.apache.org
Githubhttps://github.com/apache/shardingsphere 

Background

ShardingSphere provides two adapters: ShardingSphere-JDBC and ShardingSphere-Proxy.

Now, ShardingSphere uses logback for logging, but consider the following situations:

  • Users may need to switch the logging framework to meet special needs, such as log4j2 can provide better asynchronous performance;
  • When using the JDBC adapter, the user application may not use logback, which may cause some conflicts.

Why doesn't the log facade suffice? Because ShardingSphere provides users with clustered logging configurations (such as changing the log level online), this requires dynamic construction of logger, which cannot be achieved with only the log facade.

Task

1. Design and implement logging SPI to support multiple logging frameworks (such as logback and log4j2)
2. Allow users to choose which logging framework to use through the logging rule

Relevant Skills

1. Master JAVA language

2. Basic knowledge of logback and log4j2

3. Maven

Apache ShardingSphere Add ShardingSphere Kafka source connector

Refactoring of GA functionality

As discussed extensively on the "dev" ML[1][2], there are two competing designs (please review them on the dedicated git branch) for the refactoring of the basic functionality currently implemented in the org.apache.commons.math4.legacy.genetics "legacy" package.

TL;DR;

  • The discussion has pointed to major (from a maintenance POV) issues of the design proposed by the OP.
  • The alternative (much simpler) design has been implemented as proof-of-concept (indicating that some corner might have been cut).
  • The OP mentioned correctness issues in the "simple" design but did neither fix them nor provided answers on the LM to that effect.
  • Questions concerning other possible "bloat" (e.g. on using a custom representation of the "binary chromosome" concept instead of the BitSet available from the JDK) were also left dangling.
  • Refactoring of the "basic" GA functionality (the purpose of the "proof-of-concept") must be decoupled from the new feature which the OP wanted to implement ("adaptive probability generation").
  • Unit tests (a.o. all those from the "legacy" code) must demonstrate that the refactored code does (or does not) behave correctly, and bugs should be fixed on the "simple" implementation, before implementing the new feature on top of it.

Commons Imaging

Placeholder for 1.0 release

A placeholder ticket, to link other issues and organize tasks related to the 1.0 release of Commons Imaging.

The 1.0 release of Commons Imaging has been postponed several times. Now we have a more clear idea of what's necessary for the 1.0 (see issues with fixVersion 1.0 and 1.0-alpha3, and other open issues), and the tasks are interesting as it involves both basic and advanced programming for tasks such as organize how test images are loaded, or work on performance improvements at byte level and following image format specifications.

The tasks are not too hard to follow, as normally there are example images that need to work with Imaging, as well as other libraries in C, C++, Rust, PHP, etc., that process these images correctly. Our goal with this issue is to a) improve our docs, b) improve our tests, c) fix possible security issues, d) get the parsers in Commons Imaging ready for the 1.0 release.

Assigning the label for GSoC 2023, and full time. Although it would be possible to work on a smaller set of tasks for 1.0 as a part time too.

rocketmq/issues/6282

Apache RocketMQ and HDFS

  • Apache RocketMQ is a cloud native messaging and streaming platform, making it simple to build event-driven applications.
  • Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a distributed file system designed to store and manage large data sets across multiple servers or clusters. HDFS provides a reliable, scalable, and fault-tolerant platform for storing and accessing data that can be accessed by a variety of applications running on the hadoop cluster.

Background

High-speed storage media, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), are typically more expensive than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). To minimize storage costs, the local data disk size of a rocketmq broker is often limited. HDFS can store large amounts of data at a lower cost, it has better support for storing and retrieving data sequentially rather than randomly. In order to preserve message data over a long period or facilitate message export, the RocketMQ project previously introduced a tiered storage plugin. Now it is necessary to implement a storage plugin to save data on hdfs.

Relevant Skills

  • Interest in messging middleware and distributed storage system
  • Java development skills
  • Having a good understanding of rocketmq and hdfs models

Anyways, the most important relevant skill is motivation and readiness to learn during the project!

Tasks

  • understand the basic concepts and principles in distributed systems
  • provide related design documents
  • develop one that uses hdfs as the backend storage plugin to store rocketmq message data
  • write effective unit test code
  • *suggest improvements to the tiered storage interface
  • *what ever comes in your mind further ideas are always welcome

RocketMQ DLedger Controller Performance Optimization

Apache RocketMQ

Apache RocketMQ is a distributed messaging and streaming platform with low latency, high performance and reliability, trillion-level capacity, and flexible scalability.
Page: https://rocketmq.apache.org
Repo: https://github.com/apache/rocketmq

Background

RocketMQ 5.0 introduced a new component, the controller, which controls the high availability master-slave switch in multi-replica scenarios. It uses the DLedger Raft library as a consensus replication state machine for metadata. As a completely independent component, it can run normally in some scenarios, but in large-scale clusters, it is necessary to maintain a large number of broker groups, which is a great challenge for operational capabilities and resource waste. When dealing with a large number of Broker groups, we need to optimize performance in large-scale scenarios, leveraging the high-performance writing of DLedger itself and performing some optimization for the current Controller architecture.

Task

1. Polish the usage of DLedger

Currently, on the Controller side, a task queue single thread is used for requesting reads and writes to DLedger, that is, only one read/write request can be processed at a time. However, DLedger itself implements many optimizations for multi-client reads and writes and can ensure linear consistency reading. However, now all read and write processing is performed using a single logical DLedger client, which will become a serious performance bottleneck in large-scale scenarios.

2. Optimization of DLedger features usage

DLedger itself can implement many optimizations, such as ReadIndex read and FollowerRead read. After implementation, we can fully leverage the performance of reads. Currently, all Broker nodes communicate with the Leader node of the Controller. In large-scale scenarios, this will cause the requests of each Controller group to be concentrated on the Leader node, and the other Follower nodes will not share the request processing of the Leader, which will cause single-point performance bottlenecks for the Leader.

3. Full asynchronous + parallel processing

Currently, DLedger itself is fully asynchronous, but on the Controller side, all requests for the DLedger side are synchronized, and many Controller-side operations are performed synchronously in a single thread, such as heartbeat checks and other timed tasks. In large-scale scenarios, the logic of these single-threaded synchronous operations will block a large number of requests from Broker-side, so asynchronous + parallel processing can be used for optimization.

4. Correctness testing and performance testing

After completing the above optimizations, it is necessary to conduct correctness testing on the new version and use distributed chaos testing frameworks such as OpenChaos to verify correct operation under fault scenarios such as network partition and random crashes.
After completing the correctness testing, a detailed performance testing report can be produced by comparing the new and old versions.

Skills Required

  • Strong interest in message middleware and distributed storage systems
  • Proficient in Java development
  • In-depth understanding of distributed consensus algorithms
  • In-depth understanding of the high-availability module of RockeetMQ and the DLedger library
  • Understanding of distributed chaos testing and performance testing.

RocketMQ TieredStore Integration with

HDFS

[GSoC] RocketMQ TieredStore Integration with HDFS

Github Issue: https://github.com/apache/rocketmq/issues/6282

High Availability Architecture

Apache RocketMQ

and HDFS

{}

Apache RocketMQ is a

cloud native

distributed messaging and streaming platform

, making it simple to build event-driven applications.
  • Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a distributed file system designed to store and manage large data sets across multiple servers or clusters. HDFS provides a reliable, scalable, and fault-tolerant platform for storing and accessing data that can be accessed by a variety of applications running on the hadoop cluster.

Background

High-speed storage media, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), are typically more expensive than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). To minimize storage costs, the local data disk size of a rocketmq broker is often limited. HDFS can store large amounts of data at a lower cost, it has better support for storing and retrieving data sequentially rather than randomly. In order to preserve message data over a long period or facilitate message export, the RocketMQ project previously introduced a tiered storage plugin. Now it is necessary to implement a storage plugin to save data on hdfs.

Relevant Skills

  • Interest in messging middleware and distributed storage system
  • Java development skills
  • Having a good understanding of rocketmq and hdfs models

Anyways, the most important relevant skill is motivation and readiness to learn during the project!

Tasks

  • understand the basic concepts and principles in distributed systems
  • provide related design documents
  • develop one that uses hdfs as the backend storage plugin to store rocketmq message data
  • write effective unit test code
  • *suggest improvements to the tiered storage interface
  • *what ever comes in your mind further ideas are always welcome

Background

With the official release of RocketMQ 5.1.0, tiered storage has arrived as a new independent module in the Technical Preview milestone. This allows users to unload messages from local disks to other cheaper storage, extending message retention time at a lower cost.

Reference RIP-57: https://github.com/apache/rocketmq/wiki/RIP-57-Tiered-storage-for-RocketMQ

In addition, RocketMQ introduced a new high availability architecture in version 5.0.

/wiki/RIP-44-Support-DLedger-Controller

However, currently RocketMQ tiered storage only supports single replicas.


Task

Currently, tiered storage only supports single replicas, and there are still the following issues in the integration with the high availability architecture:

  • Metadata synchronization: how to reliably synchronize metadata between master and slave nodes.
  • Disallowing message uploads beyond the confirm offset: to avoid message rollback, the maximum uploaded offset cannot exceed the confirm offset.
  • Starting multi-tier storage upload when the slave changes to master, and stopping tiered storage upload when the master becomes the slave: only the master node has write and delete permissions, and after the slave node is promoted, it needs to quickly resume tiered storage breakpoint resumption.
  • Design of slave pull protocol: how a newly launched empty slave can properly synchronize data through the tiered storage architecture. (If synchronization is performed based on the first or last file, resumption of breakpoints may not be possible when switching again).

So you need to provide a complete plan to solve the above issues and ultimately complete the integration of tiered storage and high availability architecture, while verifying it through the existing tiered storage file version and OpenChaos testing.

    Code Insights for Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes (incubating)
    Apache EventMesh is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to enable non-technical users to connect, analyze and explore IoT data streams. StreamPipes offers several modules including StreamPipes Connect to easily connect data from industrial IoT sources, the Pipeline Editor to quickly create processing pipelines and several visualization modules for live and historic data exploration. Under the hood, StreamPipes utilizes an event-driven microservice paradigm of standalone, so-called analytics microservices making the system easy to extend for individual needs.

    Background

    StreamPipes has grown significantly throughout recent years. We were able to introduce a lot of new features and attracted both users and contributors. Putting the cherry on the cake, we were graduated as an Apache top level project in December 2022. We will of course continue developing new features and never rest to make StreamPipes even more amazing. Although, since we are approaching with full stream towards our `1.0` release, we want to project also to get more mature. Therefore, we want to address one of our Achilles' heels: our test coverage.

    Don't worry, this issue is not about implementing myriads of tests for our code base. As a first step, we would like to make the status quo transparent. That means we want to measure our code coverage consistently across the whole codebase (Backend, UI, Python library) and report the coverage to codecov. Furthermore, to benchmark ourselves and motivate us to provide tests with every contributing, we would like to lock the current test coverage as an lower threshold that we always want to achieve (meaning in case we drop CI builds fail etc). With time we then can increase the required coverage lever step to step.

    More than monitoring our test coverage, we also want to invest in better and more clean code. Therefore, we would like to adopt sonarcloud for our repository.

    Tasks

    • [ ] calculate test coverage for all main parts of the repo
    • [ ] send coverage to codeCov
    • [ ] determine coverage threshold and let CI fail if below
    • [ ] include sonarcloud in CI setup
    • [ ] include automatic coverage report in PR validation (see an example here ) -> optional
    • [ ] include automatic sonarcloud report in PR validation -> optional
    • [ ] what ever comes in your mind 💡 further ideas are always welcome

    ❗Important Note❗

    Do not create any account in behalf of Apache StreamPipes in Sonarcloud or in CodeCov or using the name of Apache StreamPipes for any account creation. Your mentor will take care of it.

    StreamPipes

    Improving End-to-End Test Infrastructure of Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes (incubating) is

    OPC-UA browser for Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes (incubating) is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to enable non-technical users to connect, analyze and explore IoT data streams. StreamPipes offers several modules including StreamPipes Connect to easily connect data from industrial IoT sources, the Pipeline Editor to quickly create processing pipelines and several visualization modules for live and historic data exploration. Under the hood, StreamPipes utilizes an event-driven microservice paradigm of standalone, so-called analytics microservices making the system easy to extend for individual needs.

    Background

    StreamPipes is has grown significantly throughout recent years. We were able to introduce a lot of over the past few years, with new features and attracted both users and contributors. Putting the cherry on the cake, we were graduated as an Apache top level project in December 2022. We will of course continue developing new features and never rest to make StreamPipes even more amazing. 

    StreamPipes really shines when connecting Industrial IoT data. Such data sources typically originate from machine controllers, called PLCs (e.g., Siemens S7). But there are also new protocols such as OPC-UA which allow to browse available data within the controller. Our goal is to make connectivity of industrial data sources a matter of minutes.

    Currently, data sources can be connected using the built-in module `StreamPipes Connect` from the UI. We provide a set of adapters for popular protocols that can be customized, e.g., connection details can be added. 

    To make it even easier to connect industrial data sources with StreamPipes, we plan to add an OPC-UA browser. This will be part of the entry page of StreamPipes connect and should allow users to enter connection details of an existing OPC-UA server. Afterwards, a new view in the UI shows available data nodes from the server, their status and current value. Users should be able to select values that should be part of a new adapter. Afterwards, a new adapter can be created by reusing the current workflow to create an OPC-UA data source.

    This is a really cool project for participants interested in full-stack development who would like to get a deeper understanding of industrial IoT protocols. Have fun! 

    Tasks

    • [ ] get familiar with the OPC-UA protocol
    • [ ] develop mockups which demonstrate the user workflow
    • [ ] develop a data model for discovering data from OPC-UA
    • [ ] create the backend business logic for the OPC-UA browser 
    • [ ] create the frontend views to asynchronously browse data and to create a new adapter
    • [ ] write Junit, Component and E2E tests
    • [ ] what ever comes in your mind 💡 further ideas are always welcome

       

     Relevant Skills

    • interest in Industrial IoT and procotols such as OPC-UA
    • Java development skills

    [SkyWalking] Add Terraform provider for Apache SkyWalking

    Now the deployment methods for SkyWalking are limited, we only have Helm Chart for users to deploy in Kubernetes, other users that are not using Kubernetes have to do all the house keeping stuffs to set up SkyWalking on, for example, VM.

    This issue aims to add a Terraform provider, so that users can conveniently  spin up a cluster for demonstration or testing, we should evolve the provider and allow users to customize as their need and finally users can use this in their production environment.

    In this task, we will mainly focus on the support for AWS. In the Terraform provider, users need to provide their access key / secret key, and the provider does the rest stuffs: create VMs, create database/OpenSearch or RDS, download SkyWalking tars, configure the SkyWalking, and start the SkyWalking components (OAP/UI), create public IPs/domain name, etc.

    Code Insights for Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes

    Apache StreamPipes (incubating) is a self-service (Industrial) IoT toolbox to enable non-technical users to connect, analyze and explore IoT data streams. StreamPipes offers several modules including StreamPipes Connect to easily connect data from industrial IoT sources, the Pipeline Editor to quickly create processing pipelines and several visualization modules for live and historic data exploration. Under the hood, StreamPipes utilizes an event-driven microservice paradigm of standalone, so-called analytics microservices making the system easy to extend for individual needs.

    Background

    StreamPipes has grown significantly throughout recent years. We were able to introduce a lot of new features and attracted both users and contributors. Putting the cherry on the cake, we were graduated as an Apache top level project in December 2022. We will of course continue developing new features and never rest to make StreamPipes even more amazing. Although, since we are approaching with full stream towards our `1.0` release, we want to project also to get more mature. Therefore, we want to address one of our Achilles' heels: our test coverage.

    Don't worry, this issue is not about implementing myriads of tests for our code base. As a first step, we would like to make the status quo transparent. That means we want to measure our code coverage consistently across the whole codebase (Backend, UI, Python library) and report the coverage to codecov. Furthermore, to benchmark ourselves and motivate us to provide tests with every contributing, we would like to lock the current test coverage as an lower threshold that we always want to achieve (meaning in case we drop CI builds fail etc). With time we then can increase the required coverage lever step to step.

    More than monitoring our test coverage, we also want to invest in better and more clean code. Therefore, we would like to adopt sonarcloud for our repository.

    Tasks

    • [ ] calculate test coverage for all main parts of the repo
    • [ ] send coverage to codeCov
    • [ ] determine coverage threshold and let CI fail if below
    • [ ] include sonarcloud in CI setup
    • [ ] include automatic coverage report in PR validation (see an example here ) -> optional
    • [ ] include automatic sonarcloud report in PR validation -> optional
    • [ ] what ever comes in your mind 💡 further ideas are always welcome


    ❗Important Note❗

    Do not create any account in behalf of Apache StreamPipes in Sonarcloud or in CodeCov or using the name of Apache StreamPipes for any account creation. Your mentor will take care of it.

    [GSoC][Doris]Dictionary Encoding Acceleration

    Apache Doris
    Apache Doris is a real-time analytical database based on MPP architecture. As a unified platform that supports multiple data processing scenarios, it ensures high performance for low-latency and high-throughput queries, allows for easy federated queries on data lakes, and supports various data ingestion methods.
    Page: https://doris.apache.org

    Github: https://github.com/apache/doris

    Background

    In Apache Doris, dictionary encoding is performed during data writing and compaction. Dictionary encoding will be implemented on string data types by default. The dictionary size of a column for one segment is 1M at most. The dictionary encoding technology accelerates strings during queries, converting them into INT, for example.
     

    Task

    • Phase One: Get familiar with the implementation of Apache Doris dictionary encoding; learning how Apache Doris dictionary encoding accelerates queries.
    •  Phase Two: Evaluate the effectiveness of full dictionary encoding and figure out how to optimize memory in such a case.

    [GSoC][Doris]Page Cache Improvement

    Apache Doris
    Apache Doris is a real-time analytical database based on MPP architecture.

    Page: https://doris.apache.org
    Github: https://github.com/apache/dorisshardingsphere 

    Background

    Apache Doris accelerates high-concurrency queries utilizing page cache, where the decompressed data is stored.
    Currently, the page cache in Apache Doris uses a simple LRU algorithm, which reveals a few problems: 

    • Hot data will be phased out in large queries
    • The page cache configuration is immutable and does not support GC.

    Task

    • Phase One: Identify the impacts on queries when the decompressed data is stored in memory and SSD, respectively, and then determine whether full page cache is required.
    • Phase Two: Improve the cache strategy for Apache Doris based on the results from Phase One.

  • ShardingSphere provides two adapters: ShardingSphere-JDBC and ShardingSphere-Proxy.

    Now, ShardingSphere uses logback for logging, but consider the following situations:

    • Users may need to switch the logging framework to meet special needs, such as log4j2 can provide better asynchronous performance;
    • When using the JDBC adapter, the user application may not use logback, which may cause some conflicts.


    Why doesn't the log facade suffice? Because ShardingSphere provides users with clustered logging configurations (such as changing the log level online), this requires dynamic construction of logger, which cannot be achieved with only the log facade.

    Task

    1. Design and implement logging SPI to support multiple logging frameworks (such as logback and log4j2)
    2. Allow users to choose which logging framework to use through the logging rule

    ShenYu Gsoc 2023 - Shenyu-Admin Internationalization

    Background

    Shenyu is a native API gateway for service proxy, protocol translation and API governance. It can manage and maintain the API through Shenyu-admin, and support internationalization in Chinese and English. Unfortunately, Shenyu-admin is only internationalized on the front end. The message prompt returned by the back-end interface is still in English. Therefore, we need to implement internationalization support for the back-end interface.This will lay a good foundation for shenyu to move towards more language support.

    Commons Numbers

    Add support for extended precision floating-point numbers

    Add implementations of extended precision floating point numbers.

    An extended precision floating point number is a series of floating-point numbers that are non-overlapping such that:

    double-double (a, b):
                |a| > |b|
                a == a + b

    Common representations are double-double and quad-double (see for example David Bailey's paper on a quad-double library: QD).

    Many computations in the Commons Numbers and Statistics libraries use extended precision computations where the accumulated error of a double would lead to complete cancellation of all significant bits; or create intermediate overflow of integer values.

    This project would formalise the code underlying these use cases with a generic library applicable for use in the case where the result is expected to be a finite value and using Java's BigDecimal and/or BigInteger negatively impacts performance.

    An example would be the average of long values where the intermediate sum overflows or the conversion to a double loses bits:

                long[] values = {Long.MAX_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE};
                System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values).average().getAsDouble()); System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values).mapToObj(BigDecimal::valueOf)
                .reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add)
                .divide(BigDecimal.valueOf(values.length)).doubleValue());
                long[] values2 = {Long.MAX_VALUE, Long.MIN_VALUE};
                System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values2).asDoubleStream().average().getAsDouble()); System.out.println(Arrays.stream(values2).mapToObj(BigDecimal::valueOf)
                   .reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add)
                .divide(BigDecimal.valueOf(values2.length)).doubleValue());

    Apache ShardingSphere Enhance SQLNodeConverterEngine to support more MySQL SQL statements

    Apache ShardingSphere

    Apache ShardingSphere is positioned as a Database Plus, and aims at building a standard layer and ecosystem above heterogeneous databases. It focuses on how to reuse existing databases and their respective upper layer, rather than creating a new database. The goal is to minimize or eliminate the challenges caused by underlying databases fragmentation.

    Pagehttps://shardingsphere.apache.org
    Githubhttps://github.com/apache/shardingsphere 

    Background

    The ShardingSphere SQL federation engine provides support for complex SQL statements, and it can well support cross-database join queries, subqueries, aggregation queries and other statements. An important part of SQL federation engine is to convert the SQL statement parsed by ShardingSphere into SqlNode, so that Calcite can be used to implement SQL optimization and federated query.

    Task

    This issue is to solve the MySQL exception that occurs during SQLNodeConverterEngine conversion. The specific case list is as follows.

    • select_char
    • select_extract
    • select_from_dual
    • select_from_with_table
    • select_group_by_with_having_and_window

    • select_where_with_bit_expr_with_mod_sign
    • select_where_with_bit_expr_with_plus_interval
    • select_where_with_bit_expr_with_signed_left_shift
    • select_where_with_bit_expr_with_signed_right_shift

    • select_where_with_boolean_primary_with_null_safe
    • select_where_with_expr_with_and_sign
    • select_where_with_expr_with_is
    • select_where_with_expr_with_is_not
    • select_where_with_expr_with_not
    • select_where_with_expr_with_not_sign

    • select_where_with_predicate_with_sounds_like
    • select_where_with_simple_expr_with_collate
    • select_where_with_simple_expr_with_match

    You need to compare the difference between actual and expected, and then correct the logic in SQLNodeConverterEngine so that actual can be consistent with expected.

    After you make changes, remember to add case to SUPPORTED_SQL_CASE_IDS to ensure it can be tested.

     
    Notice, these issues can be a good example.

    Refactoring of GA functionality

    As discussed extensively on the "dev" ML[1][2], there are two competing designs (please review them on the dedicated git branch) for the refactoring of the basic functionality currently implemented in the org.apache.commons.math4.legacy.genetics "legacy" package.

    TL;DR;

    • The discussion has pointed to major (from a maintenance POV) issues of the design proposed by the OP.
    • The alternative (much simpler) design has been implemented as proof-of-concept (indicating that some corner might have been cut).
    • The OP mentioned correctness issues in the "simple" design but did neither fix them nor provided answers on the LM to that effect.
    • Questions concerning other possible "bloat" (e.g. on using a custom representation of the "binary chromosome" concept instead of the BitSet available from the JDK) were also left dangling.
    • Refactoring of the "basic" GA functionality (the purpose of the "proof-of-concept") must be decoupled from the new feature which the OP wanted to implement ("adaptive probability generation").
    • Unit tests (a.o. all those from the "legacy" code) must demonstrate that the refactored code does (or does not) behave correctly, and bugs should be fixed on the "simple" implementation, before implementing the new feature on top of it.

    Commons Imaging

    Placeholder for 1.0 release

    A placeholder ticket, to link other issues and organize tasks related to the 1.0 release of Commons Imaging.

    The 1.0 release of Commons Imaging has been postponed several times. Now we have a more clear idea of what's necessary for the 1.0 (see issues with fixVersion 1.0 and 1.0-alpha3, and other open issues), and the tasks are interesting as it involves both basic and advanced programming for tasks such as organize how test images are loaded, or work on performance improvements at byte level and following image format specifications.

    The tasks are not too hard to follow, as normally there are example images that need to work with Imaging, as well as other libraries in C, C++, Rust, PHP, etc., that process these images correctly. Our goal with this issue is to a) improve our docs, b) improve our tests, c) fix possible security issues, d) get the parsers in Commons Imaging ready for the 1.0 release.

    Assigning the label for GSoC 2023, and full time. Although it would be possible to work on a smaller set of tasks for 1.0 as a part time too.

    CloudStack GSoC 2023 - Autodetect IPs used inside the VM

    Github issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstackshenyu/issues/71424474Description


    Difficulty:

    With regards to IP info reporting, Cloudstack relies entirely on it's DHCP data bases and so on. When this is not available (L2 networks etc) no IP information is shown for a given VM.

    I propose we introduce a mechanism for "IP autodetection" and try to discover the IPs used inside the machines by means of querying the hypervisors. For example with KVM/libvirt we can simply do something like this:

    Apache ShenYu Gsoc 2023 - ShenYu WasmPlugin

    Background:{}

    Apache ShenYu is a Java native API Gateway for service proxy, protocol conversion and API governance. Currently, ShenYu has good scalability in the Java language. However, ShenYu's support for multiple languages is still relatively weak.

    The wasm bytecode is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms.

    The goal of WasmPlugin is to be able to run wasm bytecode(wasmer-java is a good choice, if you find a better choice, please discuss with me), and other languages can write ShenYu plugins based on this language(such as Rust/golang/C++) as long as they can be compiled into wasm bytecode.

    More documents on wasm and WASI are as follows:
    https://github.com/WebAssembly/design
    https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI

    Relevant Skills

    Know the use of Apache ShenYu, especially the plugin
    Familiar with Java and another language which can be compiled into wasm bytecode

    Task List

    1.develop shenyu-wasm-plugin.

      The above command queries the qemu-guest-agent inside the Windows VM. The VM needs to have the qemu-guest-agent installed and running as well as the virtio serial drivers (easily done in this case with virtio-win-guest-tools.exe ) as well as a guest-agent socket channel defined in libvirt.

    Once we have this information we could display it in the UI/API as "Autodetected VM IPs" or something like that.

    I imagine it's very similar for VMWare and XCP-ng.

    Extend Import-Export Instances to the KVM Hypervisor

    Github issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/7127

    Description:

    The Import-Export functionality is only allowed for the Vmware hypervisor. The functionality is developed within a VM ingestion framework that allows the extension to other hypervisors. The Import-Export functionality consists on few APIs and the UI to interact with them:

    • listUnmanagedInstances: Lists unmanaged virtual machines (not existing in CloudStack but existing on the hypervisor side)
    • importUnmanagedInstance: Import an unmanaged VM into CloudStack (this implies populating the database with the corresponding data)
    • unmanageVirtualMachine: Make CloudStack forget a VM but do not remove it on the hypervisor side

    The complexity on KVM should be parsing the existing XML domains into different resources and map them in CloudStack to populate the database correctly.

    Shenyu-Admin Internationalization

    Background

    Shenyu is a native API gateway for service proxy, protocol translation and API governance. It can manage and maintain the API through Shenyu-admin, and support internationalization in Chinese and English. Unfortunately, Shenyu-admin is only internationalized on the front end. The message prompt returned by the back-end interface is still in English. Therefore, we need to implement internationalization support for the back-end interface.This will lay a good foundation for shenyu to move towards more language support.

    CloudStack GSoC 2023 - Improve ConfigDrive to store network information

    Github issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/2872

    ConfigDrive / cloud-init supports a network_data.json file which can contain network information for a VM.

    By providing the network information using ConfigDrive to a VM we can eliminate the need for DHCP and thus the Virtual Router in some use-cases.

    Doris

    [GSoC][Doris]Page Cache Improvement

    Apache Doris
    Apache Doris is a real-time analytical database based on MPP architecture. As a unified platform that supports multiple data processing scenarios, it ensures high performance for low-latency and high-throughput queries, allows for easy federated queries on data lakes, and supports various data ingestion methods.
    Page: https://doris.apache.org

    Github: https://github.com/apache/doris

    Background

    Apache Doris accelerates high-concurrency queries utilizing page cache, where the decompressed data is stored.
    Currently, the page cache in Apache Doris uses a simple LRU algorithm, which reveals a few problems: 

    • Hot data will be phased out in large queries
    • The page cache configuration is immutable and does not support GC.

    Task

    • Phase One: Identify the impacts on queries when the decompressed data is stored in memory and SSD, respectively, and then determine whether full page cache is required.
    • Phase Two: Improve the cache strategy for Apache Doris based on the results from Phase One.

    Background

    In Apache Doris, dictionary encoding is performed during data writing and compaction. Dictionary encoding will be implemented on string data types by default. The dictionary size of a column for one segment is 1M at most. The dictionary encoding technology accelerates strings during queries, converting them into INT, for example.
     

    Task

    • Phase One: Get familiar with the implementation of Apache Doris dictionary encoding; learning how Apache Doris dictionary encoding accelerates queries.
    •  Phase Two: Evaluate the effectiveness of full dictionary encoding and figure out how to optimize memory in such a case.

    Now the deployment methods for SkyWalking are limited, we only have Helm Chart for users to deploy in Kubernetes, other users that are not using Kubernetes have to do all the house keeping stuffs to set up SkyWalking on, for example, VM.


    This issue aims to add a Terraform provider, so that users can conveniently  spin up a cluster for demonstration or testing, we should evolve the provider and allow users to customize as their need and finally users can use this in their production environment.


    In this task, we will mainly focus on the support for AWS. In the Terraform provider, users need to provide their access key / secret key, and the provider does the rest stuffs: create VMs, create database/OpenSearch or RDS, download SkyWalking tars, configure the SkyWalking, and start the SkyWalking components (OAP/UI), create public IPs/domain name, etc.

    [SkyWalking] Build the OAP into GraalVM native image

    Currently skywalking OAP is bundled as a tar ball when releasing, and the start time is long, we are looking for a way to distribute the binary executable in a more convenient way and speed up the bootstrap time. Now we found that GraalVM is a good fit not only it can solve the two aforementioned points but also it will bring benefits that, we can rewrite our LAL or even MAL system in the future with a more secure and isolated method, wasm, which is supported GraalVM too!

    so this task is to adjust OAP, build it into GraalVM and make all tests in OAP passed.

    Beam

    [GSoC][Beam] Build out Beam Machine Learning Use Cases

    Today, you can do all sorts of Machine Learning using Apache Beam (https://beam.apache.org/documentation/ml/overview/).
     
    Many of our users, however, have a hard time getting started with ML and understanding how Beam can be applied to their day to day work. The goal of this project is to build out a series of Beam pipelines as Jupyter Notebooks demonstrating real world ML use cases, from NLP to image recognition to using large language models. As you go, there may be bugs or friction points as well which will provide opportunities to contribute back to Beam's core ML libraries.

    Teaclave

    [GSoC][Teaclave (incubating)] Data Privacy Policy Definition and Function Verification

    Background

    The Apache Teaclave (incubating) is a cutting-edge solution for confidential computing, providing Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) capabilities that enable the decoupling of data and function providers. Despite its impressive functionality and security features, Teaclave currently lacks a mechanism for data providers to enforce policies on the data they upload. For example, data providers may wish to restrict access to certain columns of data for third-party function providers. Open Policy Agent (OPA) offers flexible control over service behavior and has been widely adopted by the cloud-native community. If Teaclave were to integrate OPA, data providers could apply policies to their data, enhancing Teaclave’s functionality. Another potential security loophole in Teaclave is the absence of a means to verify the expected behavior of a function. This gap leaves the system vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors. Fortunately, most of Teaclave’s interfaces can be reused, with the exception of the function uploading phase, which may require an overhaul to address this issue. Overall, the integration of OPA and the addition of a function verification mechanism would make Teaclave an even more robust and secure solution for confidential computing.

    Benefits

    If this proposal moves on smoothly, new functionality will be added to the Teaclave project that enables the verification of the function behavior that it strictly conforms to a prescribed policy.

    Deliverables

    • Milestones: Basic policies (e.g., addition, subtraction) of the data can be verified by Teaclave; Complex policies can be verified.
    • Components: Verifier for the function code; Policy language adapters (adapt policy language to verifier); Policy language parser; Function source code converter (append policies to the functions).
    • Documentation: The internal working mechanism of the verification; How to write policies for the data.

    Timeline Estimation

    • 0.5 month: Policy language parser and/or policy language design (if Rego is not an ideal choice).
    • 1.5 − 2 months: Verification contracts rewriting on the function source code based on the policy parsed. • (∼ 1 month): The function can be properly verified formally (by, e.g., querying the Z3 SMT solver).

    SeaTunnel

    Apache SeaTunnel(Incubating) Http Client For SeaTunnel Zeta

    Apache SeaTunnel(Incubating)

    SeaTunnel is a very easy-to-use ultra-high-performance distributed data integration platform that supports real-time synchronization of massive data. It can synchronize tens of billions of data stably and efficiently every day, and has been used in the production of nearly 100 companies. 

    SeaTunnel provides a Connector API that does not depend on a specific execution engine. Connectors (Source, Transform, Sink) developed based on this API can run On many different engines, such as SeaTunnel Zeta, Flink, Spark that are currently supported. SeaTunnel has supported more than 100 Connectors, and the number is surging.

    Website: https://seatunnel.apache.org/

    GitHub: https://github.com/apache/incubator-seatunnel

    Background

    To use SeaTunnel, the current user needs to first create and write a config file that specifies the engine that runs the job, as well as engine related parameters. Then define the Source, Transform, and Sink of the job. We hope to provide a client that allows users to define the engine, Source, Transform, and Sink information of the job run directly through code in the client without having to start with a config file. The user can then submit the job definition information through the Client, and SeaTunnel will run these jobs. After the job is submitted, the user can obtain the status of the job running through the Client. For jobs that are already running, users can use this client to manage them, such as stopping jobs, temporary jobs, and so on.

    CloudStack

    CloudStack GSoC 2023 - Improve ConfigDrive to store network information

    Github issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/2872


    ConfigDrive / cloud-init supports a network_data.json file which can contain network information for a VM.

    By providing the network information using ConfigDrive to a VM we can eliminate the need for DHCP and thus the Virtual Router in some use-cases.

    CloudStack GSoC 2023 - Autodetect IPs used inside the VM

    Github issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/7142


    Description:

    With regards to IP info reporting, Cloudstack relies entirely on it's DHCP data bases and so on. When this is not available (L2 networks etc) no IP information is shown for a given VM.

    I propose we introduce a mechanism for "IP autodetection" and try to discover the IPs used inside the machines by means of querying the hypervisors. For example with KVM/libvirt we can simply do something like this:

     
    {{root@fedora35 ~]# virsh domifaddr win2k22 --source agent
    Name MAC address Protocol Address
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ethernet 52:54:00:7b:23:6a ipv4 192.168.0.68/24
    Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 ipv6 ::1/128

    • - ipv4 127.0.0.1/8}}
      The above command queries the qemu-guest-agent inside the Windows VM. The VM needs to have the qemu-guest-agent installed and running as well as the virtio serial drivers (easily done in this case with virtio-win-guest-tools.exe ) as well as a guest-agent socket channel defined in libvirt.

    Once we have this information we could display it in the UI/API as "Autodetected VM IPs" or something like that.

    I imagine it's very similar for VMWare and XCP-ng.

    CloudStack GSoC 2023 - Extend Import-Export Instances to the KVM Hypervisor

    Github issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/7127


    Description:

    The Import-Export functionality is only allowed for the Vmware hypervisor. The functionality is developed within a VM ingestion framework that allows the extension to other hypervisors. The Import-Export functionality consists on few APIs and the UI to interact with them:

    • listUnmanagedInstances: Lists unmanaged virtual machines (not existing in CloudStack but existing on the hypervisor side)
    • importUnmanagedInstance: Import an unmanaged VM into CloudStack (this implies populating the database with the corresponding data)
    • unmanageVirtualMachine: Make CloudStack forget a VM but do not remove it on the hypervisor side

    The complexity on KVM should be parsing the existing XML domains into different resources and map them in CloudStack to populate the database correctly.

    Apache Nemo

    Enhance Nemo to support autoscaling for bursty loads

    The load of streaming jobs usually fluctuate according to the input rate or operations (e.g., window). Supporting the automatic scaling could reduce the operational cost of running streaming applications, while minimizing the performance degradation that can be caused by the bursty loads. 


    We can harness the cloud resources such as VMs and serverless frameworks to acquire computing resources on demand. To realize the automatic scaling, the following features should be implemented.


    1) state migration: scaling jobs require moving tasks (or partitioning a task to multiple ones). In this situation, the internal state of the task should be serialized/deserialized. 

    2) input/output rerouting: if a task is moved to a new worker, the input and output of the task should be redirected. 

    3) dynamic Executor or Task creation/deletion: Executor}}s or {{Task can be dynamically created or deleted. 

    4) scaling policy: a scaling policy that decides when and how to scale out/in should be implemented.

    Dynamic Task Sizing on Nemo

    This is an umbrella issue to keep track of the issues related to the dynamic task sizing feature on Nemo.

    Dynamic task sizing needs to consider a workload and try to decide on the optimal task size based on the runtime metrics and characteristics. It should have an effect on the parallelism and the partitions, on how many partitions an intermediate data should be divided/shuffled into, and to effectively handle skews in the meanwhile.

    We aim to handle the problem on throttled resources (heterogeneous resources) and skewed input data. In order to solve this problem, we suggest dynamic work stealing that can dynamically track task statuses and steal workloads among each other. To do this, we have the following action items:

    • Dynamically collecting task statistics during execution
    • Detecting skewed tasks periodically
    • Splitting the data allocated in skewed tasks and reallocating them into new tasks
    • Synchronizing the optimization procedure

    Implement spill mechanism on Nemo

    Currently, Nemo doesn't have a spill mechanism. This makes executors prone to memory problems such as OOM(Out Of Memory) or GC when task data is large. For example, handling skewed shuffle data in Nemo results in OOM and executor failure, as all data has to be handled in-memory.

    We need to spill in-memory data to secondary storage when there are not enough memory in executor.

    Apache Fineract

    Reduce Boilerplate Code by Introducing lombok to Reduce getters/setters and Mapstruct to map REST DTO to Entity Objects

    Lombok could help us to not only reduce a large amount of code, but also to fix a couple of inconsistencies in the code base:

    • getters/setters with non-standard characters (e. g. underscores)
    • getters/setters with typos

    The layered architecture of Fineract requires mapping between REST DTO classes and internal entity classes. The current code base contains various strategies to achieve this:

    • private functions
    • static functions
    • mapping classes

    All of these approaches are very manual (and error prone) and difficult to maintain. Mapstruct can help here:

    • throw errors at compile time (missing new attributes, type changes etc.)
    • one common concept (easier to understand)
    • reduce manually maintained code and replace mostly generated code

    Challenges:

    • maintain immutability (especially in DTO classes)
    • should we fluent builder pattern?
    • backwards compatibility
    • these improvements cannot be introduced as one pull request, but have to be split up at least at the “module” level (clients, loans, accounts etc.). This would result in approximately 30 pull requests; if we split up Lombok and Mapstruct then it would be 30 PRs each (=60); we would need this fine grained approach to make a transition as painless as possible
    • some classes are maybe beyond repair (e. g. Loan.java with 6000 lines of code, the smaller part getters/setters and a long list of utility/business logic functions)

    Enhance Nemo to support autoscaling for bursty loads

    The load of streaming jobs usually fluctuate according to the input rate or operations (e.g., window). Supporting the automatic scaling could reduce the operational cost of running streaming applications, while minimizing the performance degradation that can be caused by the bursty loads. 

    We can harness the cloud resources such as VMs and serverless frameworks to acquire computing resources on demand. To realize the automatic scaling, the following features should be implemented.

    1) state migration: scaling jobs require moving tasks (or partitioning a task to multiple ones). In this situation, the internal state of the task should be serialized/deserialized. 

    2) input/output rerouting: if a task is moved to a new worker, the input and output of the task should be redirected. 

    3) dynamic Executor or Task creation/deletion: Executor}}s or {{Task can be dynamically created or deleted. 

    4) scaling policy: a scaling policy that decides when and how to scale out/in should be implemented.

  • Detecting skewed tasks periodically
  • Splitting the data allocated in skewed tasks and reallocating them into new tasks
  • Synchronizing the optimization procedure
  • Evaluation of the resulting implementations

    Implement an Accurate Simulator based on Functional model

    Missing a deadline often has significant consequences for the business. And simulator can contributes to other approach for optimization 

    Dubbo GSoC 2023 - Refactor Connection

    Background

    At present, the abstraction of connection by client in different protocols in Dubbo is not perfect. For example, there is a big discrepancy between the client abstraction of connection in dubbo and triple protocols. As a result, the enhancement of connection-related functions in the client is more complicated, and the implementation cannot be reused. At the same time, the client also needs to implement a lot of repetitive code when extending the protocol.

    Target

    Reduce the complexity of the client part when extending the protocol, and increase the reuse of connection-related modules.

    So Implement a Simulator for Stream Processing Based on Functional models. 

    There are some requirements:

    • Simulation should be able to execute before or during job execution
    • When a simulation is executed during job is running, It must be fast enough not to affect the job. 
    • Information about running environment is received through argument.
    • At least network topology should be considered for the WAN environment.

    Dubbo GSoC 2023 - Refactor dubbo project to gradle

    Dubbo GSoC 2023 - Refactor the http layer

    Background

    Dubbo currently supports the rest protocol based on http1, and the triple protocol based on http2, but currently the two protocols based on the http protocol are implemented independently, and at the same time, they cannot replace the underlying implementation, and their respective implementation costs are relatively high.

    Target

    In order to reduce maintenance costs, we hope to be able to abstract http. The underlying implementation of the target implementation of http has nothing to do with the protocol, and we hope that different protocols can reuse related implementations.

    As more and more projects start to develop based on Gradle and profit from Gradle, Dubbo also hopes to migrate to the Gradle project. This task requires you to transform the dubbo project[1] into a gradle project.

    Dubbo GSoC 2023 -

    Metrics on Dubbo Admin

    HTTP/3 Rest Support

    HTTP/3 has been formalized as a standard in the last year. Dubbo, as a framework that supports publishing and invoking Web services, needs to support the HTTP/3 protocol.

    This task needs to expand the implementation of the current rest protocol to support publishing HTTP/3 services and calling HTTP/3 services

    Dubbo Admin is a console of Dubbo. Today, Dubbo's observability is becoming more and more powerful. We need to directly observe some indicators of Dubbo on Dubbo Admin, and even put forward suggestions for users to improve problems.

    Dubbo GSoC

    2023 - Refactor Connection

    - Pixiu supports gRPC/dubbo protocol with WASM plug-in

    Pixiu acts as a gateway, forwarding traffic to various services.
    Pixiu needs to support communication between different applications on the browser, and WASM needs to be supported on the browser. Currently, it only supports the HTTP protocol.
    This project needs to complete the communication protocol below WASM (gRPC is preferred)
    1. Support gRPC protocol
    2. Support dubbo protocol

    The front end calls gRPC reference https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web

    Background

    At present, the abstraction of connection by client in different protocols in Dubbo is not perfect. For example, there is a big discrepancy between the client abstraction of connection in dubbo and triple protocols. As a result, the enhancement of connection-related functions in the client is more complicated, and the implementation cannot be reused. At the same time, the client also needs to implement a lot of repetitive code when extending the protocol.

    Target

    Reduce the complexity of the client part when extending the protocol, and increase the reuse of connection-related modules.

    Dubbo GSoC 2023 - Automatically configure pixiu as istio ingress gateway

    In the istio mesh environment, the public dubbo/dubbo go provider can be exposed outside the cluster through the http/https protocol through the istio ingress gateway. This requires the ingress gateway to complete the conversion from http to dubbo protocol, which is the main scenario of pixiu; this project Need to complete:
    1. Customize pixiu, which can be used as an istio ingress gateway, proxy http/https requests and convert them into dubbo requests;
    2. The gateway supports basic user authentication methods.

    Dubbo GSoC 2023 - IDL management

    Background

    Dubbo currently supports protobuf as a serialization method. Protobuf relies on proto (Idl) for code generation, but currently lacks tools for managing Idl files. For example, for java users, proto files are used for each compilation. It is more troublesome, and everyone is used to using jar packages for dependencies.

    Target

    Implement an Idl management and control platform, support idl files to automatically generate dependency packages in various languages, and push them to relevant dependency warehouses

    [SKIN] Update Commons Skin Bootstrap

    Our Commons components use Commons Skin, a skin, or theme, for Apache Maven Site.

    Our skin uses Bootstrap 2.x, but Bootstrap is already at 5.x release, and we are missing several improvements (UIUX, accessibility, browser compatibility) and JS/CSS bugs fixed over the years.

    Work happening on Apache Maven Skins. Maybe we could adapt/use that one?

    Dashboards to get quick statistics

    Gateway admins need period reports for various reporting and planning. 

    Features Include:

    • Compute resources across that had at least one job submitted during the period <start date - End date>
    • User groups created within a given period and how many users are in those and with permission levels and also number of jobs each user have submitted.
    • List applications and number of jobs for each applications for a given period and group them by job status.
    • Number of users that at least submitted a single job for the period <start date - End date>
    • Total number of Unique Users
    • User Registration Trends
    • Number of experiments for a given period <Start date - End date> grouped by the experiment status
    • The total cpu-hours used by a users, sorted, quarterly, plotted over a period of time
    • The total cpu-hours consumed by application, sorted, quarterly, plotted over a period of time

    [GSoC] Integrate JupyterHub with Airavata Django Portal

    The Airavata Django Portal [1] allows users to create, execute and monitor computational experiments. However, when a user wants to then post-process or visualize the output of that computational experiment they must then download the output files and run tools that they may have on their computer or other systems. By integrating with JupyterHub the Django Portal can give users an environment in which they can explore the experiment's output data and gain insights.

    The main requirements are:

    • from the Django Portal a user can click a button and navigate to a JupyterHub instance that the user is immediately logged into using single sign on
    • the user can save the Jupyter notebook and later retrieve it
    • the user's files are available within the context of the running Jupyter instance
      • ideally users can also generate new outputs in the Jupyter instance and have them saved back in their portal data storage
    • users can share their notebooks with other portal users
    • (bonus) portal admins can suggest notebooks to use with specific applications so that with one click a user can open an experiment in a provided notebook
    • users can manage their notebooks and can, for example, clone a notebook
