Migration from Eclipselink to Hibernate

The goal of this document is to show implications for tosca model template to move from Eclipse-Link to Hibernate. Primary focus is to show the database compatibility and eventually schema changes where is necessary.
In all these tests I am using some strategies to make sure that tables and fields name generated by Hibernate will be the same as Eclipse-Link.

Definitions

  • ElementCollection: Specifies a collection of instances of a basic type or embeddable class. Must be specified if the collection is to be mapped by means of a collection table.
  • OneToMany: Specifies a many-valued association with one-to-many multiplicity. If the collection is defined using generics to specify the element type, the associated target entity type need not be specified; otherwise the target entity class must be specified. If the relationship is bidirectional, the mappedBy element must be used to specify the relationship field or property of the entity that is the owner of the relationship. The OneToMany annotation may be used within an embeddable class contained within an entity class to specify a relationship to a collection of entities. If the relationship is bidirectional, the mappedBy element must be used to specify the relationship field or property of the entity that is the owner of the relationship. When the collection is a java.util.Map, the cascade element and the orphanRemoval element apply to the map value.

Persistence classes scanning

Control Loop runtime uses persistence.xml file: is the deployment descriptor file for persistence using JPA. It specifies the persistence units and declares the managed persistence classes, the object/relation mapping, and the database connection details.

Hibernate

SpringBoot auto-configuration can automatically scan entity classes. In Control Loop Runtime we can use @EntityScan annotation because entity classes are not placed in the main application package or its sub-packages. In this situation, we need declare the package or list of packages in the main configuration class within @EntityScan annotation.

Application.java 
.............................
@EntityScan({"org.onap.policy.models.tosca.simple.concepts",
    "org.onap.policy.clamp.controlloop.models.controlloop.persistence.concepts"})
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

Implications using Hibernate and SpringBoot scan

persistence.xml file doesn't contain all JPA classes in "org.onap.policy.models.tosca.simple.concepts" package, so SpringBoot will intercept additional classes (not defined into persistence.xml file) and will generate additional tables into controlloop database for them: ToscaEventFilter, ToscaModel, ToscaServiceTemplates, ToscaServiceTemplates_ToscaServiceTemplate, ToscaTimeInterval, ToscaTrigger.


Schema generation


Boolean and TimeStamp

In the most of the cases, in tosca model template there is compatibility in field types. Only two types (java.util.Date and Boolean) are not compatible between Eclipse-Link and Hibernate.

Note about precision in DATETIME (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/datetime/): MariaDB can store microseconds with a precision between 0 and 6. If no microsecond precision is specified, then 0 is used by default.

JpaExample 
@Embeddable
@Data
public class ExampleKey implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Column(name = "name", length = 120)
    private String name;

    @Column(name = "version", length = 20)
    private String version;
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "Example")
@Data
public class JpaExample implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @EmbeddedId
    @VerifyKey
    @NotNull
    private ExampleKey key;

    @Column
    private Boolean primed;

    @Column(name = "timeStamp", precision = 3)
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @NotNull
    private Date timeStamp;
}

Eclipse-Link

MariaDB [controlloop]> describe Example;
+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field     | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| PRIMED    | tinyint(1)   | YES  |     | 0       |       |

| timeStamp | datetime(6)  | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

Boolean and TimeStamp (fixed)

columnDefinition will override the sql DDL generated by hibernate for this particular column, but it is non portable.

JpaExample 
@Entity
@Table(name = "Example")
@Data
public class JpaExample implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @EmbeddedId
    @VerifyKey
    @NotNull
    private ExampleKey key;

    @Column(columnDefinition ="tinyint(1)")
    private Boolean primed;

    @Column(name = "timeStamp", precision = 3, columnDefinition = "datetime(3)")
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @NotNull
    private Date timeStamp;
}

Map and List of Strings

When @ElementCollection is used properly there is enough compatibility. We can see that in the scenario shown below: there is only a small difference in how the primary keys are build.

JpaExampleCollection 
@Entity
@Table(name = "ExampleCollection")
@Data
public class JpaExampleCollection implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @EmbeddedId
    @VerifyKey
    @NotNull
    private ExampleKey key;

    @ElementCollection
    @Lob
    private Map<@NotNull String, @NotNull String> attributes;

    @ElementCollection
    private List<String> occurrences;
}

ElementCollection should be used with basic type or embeddable class, this example shows side effects using it with entity.

Map of Objects using OneToMany

OneToMany is not used in tosca model template. The example below shows an alternative to ElementCollection. In this example there is a field names collision.

JpaExampleObjMap 
@Entity
@Table(name = "ExampleObjMap")
@Data
public class JpaExampleObjMap implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @EmbeddedId
    @VerifyKey
    @NotNull
    private ExampleKey key;

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
    @Lob
    private Map<@NotNull String, @NotNull JpaExample> examples;
}

Representation of the example in YAML of what we could save using JpaExampleObjMap entity.

Example 
ExampleObjMap:
  name: ExampleObjMap
  version: 1.0.0
  examples:
    MyKey1:
      name: example1
      version: 1.0.0
     MyKey2:
      name: example2
      version: 1.0.0

Removing @Lob Annotation

The keys name and version of the JpaExampleObjMap as the same as JpaExample, so Eclipse-Link creates a wrong ExampleObjMap_Example table.

Multi templates

Right now using Spring repositories it is possible to create more than one service template, as service templates in policy-models/tosca.

How to create additional service template (just add different name and version into the yaml file):

tosca-for-smoke-testing.yaml
name: ToscaServiceTemplateSimple
version: 1.0.1
tosca_definitions_version: tosca_simple_yaml_1_3
...........................


ToscaServiceTemplate 
MariaDB [controlloop]> select * from ToscaServiceTemplate;

In the above example for ToscaNodeTemplate we are using same name and version, so the ToscaNodeTemplates table (and all other tables as well) contains only one record. Using the current entity model definition there are the follow issues:

  • There is no way to handle different configuration
  • Is impossible to delete a template in cascade, but it needs a Java code to manual delete single records in all tables

At least to avoid the above issues:

  • Avoid default name and version (for each template/node/data type, etc.. name and version have to be mandatory)
  • Java code to manual check for each table if name and version are already used

Conclusion

  • Move to Hibernate with EclipseLink tables is probably possible.
  • The presence of longblob types used to store whole objects is an issues, it is readable only by Java language or by any other language compatible with Java binary code. I am not sure if a db-migrator can handle that.
  • Document databases store all information for a given object in a single instance in the database, and every stored object can be different from every other.  Each operation save/read/delete of a service template, could be done using one access to a document. So, using Cassandra/MongoDB will solve all issues. JpaRepository and CassandraRepository/MongoRepository extend CrudRepository and expose the capabilities of the underlying persistence technology in addition to the rather generic persistence technology-agnostic interfaces like e.g. CrudRepository.
