CPS-NCMP ↔ DMI-Plugin Interface Details Jakarta-R10
CPS Events Structure

Requirements

Functional

#	Interface	Requirement	Additional Information
1	REST CPS(-NCMP)-E-05	Support batch read operation (new) using an asynchronous response on a client specified topic	payload includes list of cm handle ids
2	REST DMI-I-01	Support batch read operation (new) using an asynchronous response to an internal topic	payload includes list of (associated for this plugin) cm handles ids with their private (additional) properties

Error Handling

#	Error Scenario	Expected behavior
1	DMI Not respond to initial synchronous request with normal HTTP timeout	Special Error message (Kafka event) including affected, and reason for all the handles in the message cm handles send to client topic detailing cm-handles (per dmi plugin)
2	Topic not supplied on CPS-E-05	Return HTTP 501 (not implemented)
3	Client specided Topic is not configured	Log error message only
4	Non-existing cm-handle id	Similar message but different reason as specified #1 above

Capabilities

#	Parameter	Expectation	Notes
1	Response Time 1 Batch request	<2 seconds (average)	Async response available on client topic No delay in DMI Plugin (tested/measured using stub DMI Plugin)
2	Batch-size	200 cm handles	No hardcoded limit
3	Response payload size	~2 KB per cm handles	Performance test for capability should be tested with this average response size
4	Maximum registered #cm handles	20,000	This will effect the internal query time
5	Supported # DMI PLugins	10	This might effect processing times
6	Test Environment	Click here to expand... CPS and NCMP `requests: cpu: 2000m memory: 2Gi limits: memory: 3Gi cpu: 3000m` 2. Postgres `requests:` `cpu: 4000m` `memory: 1Gi` `limits:` `memory: 3Gi` `cpu: 6000m`
7	Concurrent request	12	12 clients requests toward 1 NCMP simultaneously
8	Request Frequency	100 request/min	Should not affect performance, does not need to be tested

Out-of-scope

Support for multiple resource identifiers in one batch operation
Support cached data batch requests: only passthrough datastores will be supported (see decision #2)
NCMP does NOT keep track of request status to see if it is completed, amalgamate responses or anything like that. It wil simply forward responses from the internal topic to the client topic.
Access control

Assumptions

#	Assumption	Notes
1	Proprietary options or not in the scope of this analysis.	agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy ; these are optional parameters (name-value pairs) not interpreted by NCMP but can be interpreted by proprietary plugins In the future "scope" might become standardized instead of proprietary but that wil be achieved through a separate requirement
2	same xpath (resourceIdentifierInQuery) for all cm handles or different for each cm handle	agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy ; if different resources are required on the same cm-handle the client wil send another (batch) request
3	options, resourceIdentifier is optional for bulk operations. operation, datastore and cmhandleIds are mandatory fields	agreed 24 Apr 2023 with CPS team.
4	We are not merging any duplicate cm handles while sending request to dmi-plugin	agreed 24 Apr 2023
5	Get batch operation does not support includeDescendants as it is impl. for pass through datastore only ncmp-datastore:passthrough-running and ncmp-datastore:passthrough-operational	agreed on 15 May 2023

Issues & Decisions

#	Issue	Notes	Decision
1	Which operation(s) need support for multiple cm handles?	Get Create Update (Put) Patch Delete if many what is the priority?	agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy Only Get (read) (in future other operations might be support batch option too)
2	Which datasources should be supported?	Do we need to support passthrough-only no-cached() data only ? (maybe just start with that, support cached data bulk request later)	agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy : all passthrough datastores will be supported Not implemented (yet) response, for non passthrough datastores
3	URL pattern for NCMP bulk endpoints	We had an internal review with some of our rApp colleagues around some of the recent proposed NCMP batch interface and they came back with some valid comment. The proposal is that we should not distinguish batch from bulk or other flavors of read/write. The aim is to only have a single flavor of interface for read or write for clients. Therefore the proposal is to drop “batch” from the interface URL and just act toward “data”	Agreed with team 23 May 2023 kieran mccarthy POST http://localhost:8080/ncmp/v1/data&topic=my-topic-name
4	keep datastore, topic and optional parameters in the URL itself instead into body.	CPS prefers keep interface similar as single cm handle interface (consistency and cost) Existing : ...&topic=topicParamInQuery	agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy : Follow the existing interfaces as much as possible for consistency and efficiency
5	support in ONAP DMI-plugin		agreed 08 Mar 2023 with Toine Siebelink : ONAP plugin can respond with not implemented yet code,
6	Response always Async ie. topic is compulsory ?	Assume topic is compulsory (defined in OPenApi) → Response therefore wil be 400 if not supplied	Agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy : Topic is optional but system will respond with 'Not implemented (yet when not specified or blank
7	Should NCMP Amalgamate Async responses from DMI-Plugin before forwarding ?	step 6 in flow diagram	Agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy : NCMP wil only forward to client topic no handling tracking or any responses or status of request
8	Handle non responding dmi-plugin		Agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy : No response for 4b then send an error response to the topic given by client
9	Should (can) NCMP check if 'MyTopic' specified by client exist	Consider Access Control too. For now NCMP can log error. Client is responsible for topic setup	Agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy : NCMP can log error when forward to 'client topic' Security not in scope (yet)
10	How to handle non-existing CM-Handles (id)	Suggestions Silently ignore (initial) error response should we combine all errors in one message?	Agreed 08 Mar 2023 with kieran mccarthy : Additional error (messages) response with all cm-handles that cannot be resolved, also a separate error message wil be sent for each failed DMI
11	Overlap/clash with Deutsche Telekom user story: CPS-1377 - Getting issue details... STATUS ?!		08 Mar 2023 discussed in weekly ONAP meeting the DT user story is affect CPS-Core interface (not NCMP) and the requirement is to execute a query over ALL cm-handles (cached only?!) instead of a given list of cm-handles (~anchors)
12	Schema of bulk response CPS-1556 - Getting issue details... STATUS	1) Agreement required on the structure of the response. Please see response structure below. 2) Does 'eventTime' field which holds the timestamp of the bulk response event, required or can it be dropped?	Need to follow schema structure there in #15 under Issues & Decisions section and it is agreed on 11 May 2023
13	~~Schema for Bulk Response event forwarding to client specified topic~~ CPS-1557 - NCMP : forward bulk response messages to client topic	~~Not keeping the 'eventTarget' which comes from the (BulkResponseEvent(In progress of the structure agreement)).~~ ~~Note: Will consider 'eventTarget', If it finalized the schema from~~ CPS-1556 - Getting issue details... STATUS	Agreed on 11 May 2023 to keep one schema for both events (DMI → NCMP) and (NCMP → ClientApps)
14	How NCMP would forward response? (Response data : ref. message flow #6) CPS-1556 - Getting issue details... STATUS	1. Do we need to send only one response containing all the requested cm handles ? 2. Send single response for each cm handle? This could lead to to much data in the event for large batch requests. Csaba Kocsis , Sourabh Sourabh and Toine Siebelink proposed to us single event for each cm handle 3. Single response message per DMI plugin? Just is a list of IDS should be OK. kieran mccarthy	kieran mccarthy Confirmed in meeting 07 Jun 2023
15	Message format for the batch interface	We have had some internal discussions including with some O-RAN standards representatives and one of the outcomes is that it would be good if we aligned with the some community standards for event header definitions. IT is proposed (initially from AT&T) that we should follow Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) specification as defined in their cloudevents incubator project. Some non-standard headers wil need to be implemented as 'extensions' and names to be confirmed `correlationid` `target`	23 May 2023 kieran mccarthy More details see CPS Events Structure#CNCFCloudEventalignment
16	NCMP will send only one request to each DMI	`topic` and `requestId` will be send as a path param from NCMP to DMI-plugin. NCMP batch endpoint : http://localhost:8080/ncmp/v1/data?&topic=my-topic-name DMI-Plugin batch endpoint : http://172.26.202.25:8783/dmi/v1/data?topic=my-topic-name&requestId=e6fa4d26-4dc1-4877-aa3c-45e99f840708 Mandatory Fields: "operation": "read" "operationId": "12" "datastore": "ncmp-datastore:passthrough-operational" "targetIds": [ "0df4d39af6514d99b816758148389cfd", "ec2e9495679a43c58659c07d87025e72" ] Optional Fields: "options": "(fields=schemas/schema)" "resourceIdentifier": "parent/child"	Agreed 11 May 2023 with Csaba Kocsis and kieran mccarthy
17	Feature Name (events)	event type proposal : from ~~BatchDataEvent~~ to DataOperationEvent For example : DataOperationResponseEvent 'eventType' value as below 'org.onap.cps.ncmp.events.~~Batch~~DataEvent' proposed Operation like : 'org.onap.cps.ncmp.events.DataOperationEvent' 'batch' was the keyword use in the URL for this feature (now gone) but much code (classnames, variable names) etc uses this name still...	kieran mccarthy and Team agreed on 07 Jun 2023 and some cost (1-2 days) is acceptable
18	What would be the field name of response data?	`data`.responses[0].data	kieran mccarthy please confirm : we are using 'responseContent' as name of this field as 'data' is already used for cloud event standard payload. Now it is like : `data`.responses[0].responseContent Sourabh Sourabh Suggest to use "result". This is after all where the actual result output. the other tags in responses[x] are status related to the request : `data`.responses[0].result
19	Exact format of timestamp of cloud events.	CloudEvent documentation (https://github.com/cloudevents/spec/blob/v1.0.2/cloudevents/spec.md#time) refers on ISO8601 standard (see org.onap.cps.ncmp.api.impl.utils.EventDateTimeFormatter )	Toine Siebelink Although not clearly communicated before ISO8601 is the standard to be used and it seems the current implementation in NCMP conforms to this standard
