Messaging Service API v2 (CURRENT)

Messaging Service API v2 (CURRENT)

API Versions

The Zaqar API only supports ”major versions” expressed in request URLs.

GET
/

List major versions

Gets the home document.

This operation gets the home document.

The entire API is discoverable from a single starting point, the home document. To explore the entire API, you need to know only this one URI. This document is cacheable.

The home document lets you write clients by using relational links, so clients do not have to construct their own URLs. You can click through and view the JSON doc in your browser.

For more information about home documents, see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-json-home-02.

Normal response codes: 300 Error response codes: serviceUnavailable (503)

Queues (queues)

Queue is a logical entity that groups messages. Ideally a queue is created per work type. For example, if you want to compress files, you would create a queue dedicated for this job. Any application that reads from this queue would only compress files.

Nowadays, queue in Zaqar is most like a topic, it’s created lazily. User can post messages to a queue before creating the queue. Zaqar will create the queue/topic automatically.

GET
/v2/queues

List queues

Lists queues.

A request to list queues when you have no queues in your account returns 204, instead of 200, because there was no information to send back.

This operation lists queues for the project. The queues are sorted alphabetically by name.

Error response codes:

  • BadRequest (400)
  • Unauthorized (401)
  • Not Found (404)
  • Conflict (409)
  • ServiceUnavailable (503)

Request Parameters

Name In Type Description
queue_name path string The name of the queue.

When setting the request body of updating queue, the body must be a list which contains a series of json object which follows https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-json-patch-10.

Note

  • The “Content-Type” header should be “application/openstack-messaging-v2.0-json-patch”
  • The ”path” must start with /metadata, for example, if the key is ”ttl”, then the path should be /metadata/ttl

Request Example

[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/metadata/max_timeout",
        "value": 100

  • ServiceUnavailable (503)

Request Parameters

Name In Type Description
queue_name path string The name of the queue.

Response Parameters

Name In Type Description
_max_messages_post_size body integer The max post size of messages defined for a queue, which will effect for any messages posted to the queue. So user can define a queue’s level cap for post size which can’t bigger than the max_messages_post_size defined in zaqar.conf. It is one of the reserved attributes of Zaqar queues. The value will be reverted to the default value after deleting it explicitly.
_default_message_ttl body integer The default TTL of messages defined for a queue, which will effect for any messages posted to the queue. So when there is no TTL defined for a message, the queue’s _default_message_ttl will be used. By default, the value is the same value defined as ”max_message_ttl” in zaqar.conf. It is one of the reserved attributes of Zaqar queues. The value will be reverted to the default value after deleting it explicitly.

Response Example

{
    "_max_messages_post_size": 262144,
    "_default_message_ttl": 3600,
    "description": "Queue used for billing."
}
DELETE

    }
}
POST
/v2/queues/{queue_name}/share

Pre-signed queue

Create a pre-signed URL for a given queue.

Note

In the case of pre-signed URLs, the queue cannot be created lazily. This is to prevent cases where queues are deleted and users still have a valid URL. This is not a big issues in cases where there’s just 1 pool. However, if there’s a deployment using more than 1 type of pool, the lazily created queue may end up in an undesired pool and it’d be possible for an attacker to try a DoS on that pool. Therefore, whenever a pre-signed URL is created, if a pool doesn’t exist, it needs to be created.

Normal response codes: 200

Error response codes:

  • BadRequest (400)
  • Unauthorized (401)
  • Not Found (404)
  • ServiceUnavailable (503)

Messages (messages)

Message is sent through a queue and exists until it is deleted by a recipient or automatically by the system based on a TTL (time-to-live) value.

All message-related operations require Client-Id to be included in the headers. This is to ensure that messages are not echoed back to the client that posted them unless the client explicitly requests this.

POST
/v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages

Post Message

Posts the message or messages for the specified queue.

This operation posts the specified message or messages.

You can submit up to 10 messages in a single request, but you must always encapsulate the messages in a collection container (an array in JSON, even for a single message - without the JSON array, you receive the “Invalid request body” message). The resulting value of the Location header or response body might be used to retrieve the created messages for further processing.

The client specifies only the body and TTL for the message. The server inserts metadata, such as ID and age.

The response body contains a list of resource paths that correspond to each message submitted in the request, in the order of the messages. If a server-side error occurs during the processing of the submitted messages, a partial list is returned, the partial attribute is set to true, and the client tries to post the remaining messages again. If the server cannot enqueue any messages, the server returns a 503 Service Unavailable error message.

The body attribute specifies an arbitrary document that constitutes the body of the message being sent.

.The following rules apply for the maximum size:

The maximum size of posted messages is the maximum size of the entire request document (rather than the sum of the individual message body field values as it was in earlier releases). On error, the client will now be notified of how much it exceeded the limit.

The size is limited to 256 KB, including whitespace.

The document must be valid JSON. (The Message Queuing service validates it.)

The ttl attribute specifies how long the server waits before marking the message as expired and removing it from the queue. The value of ttl must be between 60 and 1209600 seconds (14 days). Note that the server might not actually delete the message until its age has reached up to (ttl + 60) seconds, to allow for flexibility in storage implementations.

Normal response codes: 201

Error response codes:

  • BadRequest (400)
  • Unauthorized (401)
  • Not Found (404)
  • ServiceUnavailable (503)

Request Parameters

Name In Type Description
queue_name path string The name of the queue.

Request Example

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "ttl": 300,
      "body": {
        "event": "BackupStarted",
        "backup_id": "c378813c-3f0b-11e2-ad92-7823d2b0f3ce"
      }
    },
    {
      "body": {
        "event": "BackupProgress",
        "current_bytes": "0",
        "total_bytes": "99614720"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Response Parameters

Name In Type Description
resources (Optional) body list A list of the URL to messages.

Response Example

{
  "resources": [
    "/v2/queues/demoqueue/messages/51db6f78c508f17ddc924357",
    "/v2/queues/demoqueue/messages/51db6f78c508f17ddc924358"
  ]
}
GET
/v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages

List Messages

List the messages in the specified queue.

A request to list messages when the queue is not found or when messages are not found returns 204, instead of 200, because there was no information to send back. Messages with malformed IDs or messages that are not found by ID are ignored.

This operation gets the message or messages in the specified queue.

Message IDs and markers are opaque strings. Clients should make no assumptions about their format or length. Furthermore, clients should assume that there is no relationship between markers and message IDs (that is, one cannot be derived from the other). This allows for a wide variety of storage driver implementations.

Results are ordered by age, oldest message first.

Normal response codes: 200

Error response codes:

  • BadRequest (400)
  • Unauthorized (401)
  • Not Found (404)
  • ServiceUnavailable (503)

Request Parameters

Name In Type Description
queue_name path string The name of the queue.
marker (Optional) query string The ID of the last-seen item. Use the limit parameter to make an initial limited request and use the ID of the last-seen item from the response as the marker parameter value in a subsequent limited request.
limit (Optional) query integer Requests a page size of items. Returns a number of items up to a limit value. Use the limit parameter to make an initial limited request and use the ID of the last-seen item from the response as the marker parameter value in a subsequent limited request.
echo (Optional) query boolean Indicate if the messages can be echoed back to the client that posted them.
include_claimed (Optional) query boolean Indicate if the messages list should include the claimed messages.

Response Parameters

        }
    ]
}
GET
/v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages?ids={ids}

Get A Set Of Messages By Id

Gets a specified set of messages from the specified queue.

This operation provides a more efficient way to query multiple messages compared to using a series of individual GET s. Note that the list of IDs cannot exceed 20. If a malformed ID or a nonexistent message ID is provided, it is ignored, and the remaining messages are returned.

Unlike the Get Messages operation, a client’s own messages are always returned in this operation. If you use the ids parameter, the echo parameter is not used and is ignored if it is specified.

The message attributes are defined as follows: href is an opaque relative URI that the client can use to uniquely identify a message resource and interact with it. ttl is the TTL that was set on the message when it was posted. The message expires after (ttl - age) seconds. age is the number of seconds relative to the server’s clock. body is the arbitrary document that was submitted with the original request to post the message.

Normal response codes: 200

    ]
}
DELETE
/v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages?ids={ids}

Delete A Set Of Messages By Id

Provides a bulk delete for messages.

This operation immediately deletes the specified messages. If any of the message IDs are malformed or non-existent, they are ignored. The remaining valid messages IDs are deleted.

Normal response codes: 204

Error response codes:

  • BadRequest (400)
  • Unauthorized (401)
  • Not Found (404)
  • ServiceUnavailable (503)

Request Parameters

Name In Type Description
queue_name path string The name of the queue.
ids (Optional) query list

A list of the messages ids. pop & ids parameters are mutually exclusive. Using them together in a request will result in HTTP 400.

NOTE: Actually, it’s not a real list, it’s string combined with many message ids separated with comma, for example: /messages?ids=578f0055508f153f256f717e,578f0055508f153f256f717f

pop (Optional) query integer The pop specifies how many messages will be popped up from the queue. pop & ids parameters are mutually exclusive. Using them together in a request will result in HTTP 400.

This operation does not accept a request body and does not return a response body.

GET
/v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages/{message_id}

Get A Specific Message

Gets the specified message from the specified queue.

This operation gets the specified message from the specified queue.

If either the message ID is malformed or nonexistent, no message is returned.

Message fields are defined as follows: href is an opaque relative URI that the client can use to uniquely identify a message resource and interact with it. ttl is the TTL that was set on the message when it was posted. The message expires after (ttl - age) seconds. age is the number of seconds relative to the server’s clock. body is the arbitrary document that was submitted with the original request to post the message.

Normal response codes: 200

Request Parameters

Name In Type Description
queue_name path string The name of the queue.
message_id path string The ID of the message.

Response Example

{
    "body": {

    "ttl": 3600
}
DELETE
/v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages/{message_id}

Delete A Specific Message

Deletes the specified message from the specified queue.

This operation immediately deletes the specified message.

The claim_id parameter specifies that the message is deleted only if it has the specified claim ID and that claim has not expired. This specification is useful for ensuring only one worker processes any given message. When a worker’s claim expires before it can delete a message that it has processed, the worker must roll back any actions it took based on that message because another worker can now claim and process the same message.

If you do not specify claim_id, but the message is claimed, the operation fails. You can only delete claimed messages by providing an appropriate claim_id.

Claim messages

Claims a set of messages from the specified queue.

This operation claims a set of messages (up to the value of the limit parameter) from oldest to newest and skips any messages that are already claimed. If no unclaimed messages are available, the API returns a 204 No Content message.

When a client (worker) finishes processing a message, it should delete the message before the claim expires to ensure that the message is processed only once. As part of the delete operation, workers should specify the claim ID (which is best done by simply using the provided href). If workers perform these actions, then if a claim simply expires, the server can return an error and notify the worker of the race condition. This action gives the worker a chance to roll back its own processing of the given message because another worker can claim the message and process it.

The age given for a claim is relative to the server’s clock. The claim’s age is useful for determining how quickly messages are getting processed and whether a given message’s claim is about to expire.

When a claim expires, it is released. If the original worker failed to process the message, another client worker can then claim the message.

Note that claim creation is best-effort, meaning the worker may claim and return less than the requested number of messages.

The ttl attribute specifies how long the server waits before releasing the claim. The ttl value must be between 60 and 43200 seconds (12 hours). You must include a value for this attribute in your request.

The grace attribute specifies the message grace period in seconds. The value of grace value must be between 60 and 43200 seconds (12 hours). You must include a value for this attribute in your request. To deal with workers that have stopped responding (for up to 1209600 seconds or 14 days, including claim lifetime), the server extends the lifetime of claimed messages to be at least as long as the lifetime of the claim itself, plus the specified grace period. If a claimed message would normally live longer than the claim’s live period, its expiration is not adjusted.

Normal response codes: 201 204

Error response codes:

  • Unauthorized(401)
  • Forbidden(403)
  • itemNotFound(404)
  • ServiceUnavailable(503)

Request Parameters

Name In Type Description
queue_name path string The name of the queue.
limit (Optional) query integer The limit specifies up to 20 messages (configurable) to claim. If not specified, limit defaults to 10. Note that claim creation is best-effort, meaning the server may claim and return less than the requested number of messages.
ttl (Optional) body integer The ttl attribute specifies how long the server waits before releasing the claim. The ttl value must be between 60 and 43200 seconds (12 hours). You must include a value for this attribute in your request.
grace (Optional) body integer The grace attribute specifies the message grace period in seconds. The value of grace value must be between 60 and 43200 seconds (12 hours). You must include a value for this attribute in your request. To deal with workers that have stopped responding (for up to 1209600 seconds or 14 days, including claim lifetime), the server extends the lifetime of claimed messages to be at least as long as the lifetime of the claim itself, plus the specified grace period. If a claimed message would normally live longer than the claim’s live period, its expiration is not adjusted.

Update(Renew) Claim

Updates the specified claim for the specified queue.

This operation updates the specified claim for the specified queue. Claims with malformed IDs or claims that are not found by ID are ignored.

Clients should periodically renew claims during long-running batches of work to avoid losing a claim while processing a message. The client can renew a claim by issuing a PATCH command to a specific claim resource and including a new TTL for the claim (which can be different from the original TTL). The server resets the age of the claim and applies the new TTL.

Pools (pools)

If pooling is enabled, queuing service uses multiple queues databases in order to scale horizontally. A pool (queues database) can be added any time without stopping the service. Each pool has a weight that is assigned during the creation time but can be changed later. Pooling is done by queue which indicates that all messages for a particular queue can be found in the same pool (queues database).
