[LU-13055] add ability for named Changelog consumers

• Type: Improvement
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.12.8, Lustre 2.15.0
• Assignee: Mikhail Pershin
• Reporter: Andreas Dilger

Description

Currently Lustre Changelog consumers are always named e.g. "cl1" or "cl14". It would be useful to be able to declare the changelog username (e.g. "cl-rbh" or "cl-audit") so that it is clear who the Changelog users are, and to avoid duplicate changelog registrations. Otherwise, it can happen that the original Changelog user registration can be lost, and the application registers a new user, and the old user causes the Changelog records to accumulate.

Comments

[Mikhail Pershin]

Andreas, right, mask is used to decide what record to write. As for processing case, if we know particular user doing that processing then I think it is possible to filter records

[Andreas Dilger]

Mike, one question that came to mind as I was describing this feature to someone - does the per-user changelog mask filter the records that are provided to the changelog user? I think it currently only affects the records that are recorded at the MDS, but it would possibly reduce some processing overhead (either at the MDS or the client) to skip records that are not in a user's mask.
