Overview

Package core exists to hold concepts and pure logic pertaining to juju's domain. We'd call it "model code" if we weren't planning to rename "environ" to "model"; but that'd be quite needlessly confusing, so "core" it is.

This is a necessarily broad brush; if anything, it's mmost important to be aware what should *not* go here. In particular:

  • if it makes any reference to MongoDB, it should not be in here.
  • if it's in any way concerned with API transport, or serialization, it should not be in here.
  • if it has to do with the *specifics* of any resource *substrate* (compute, storage, networking, ...) it should not be in here.

...and more generally, when adding to core:

  • it's fine to import from any subpackage of "github.com/juju/juju/core"
  • but *never* import from any *other* subpackage of "github.com/juju/juju"
  • don't you *dare* introduce mutable global state or I will hunt you down
  • like a dog

...although, of course, *moving* code into core is great, so long as you don't drag in forbidden concerns as you do so. At first glance, the following packages are good candidates for near-term corification:

  • constraints (only dependency is instance)
  • instance (only dependency is network)
  • network (already core-safe)
  • watcher-excluding-legacy (only depends on worker[/catacomb])
  • worker-excluding-other-subpackages

...and these have significant core-worthy content, but will be harder to extract:

  • environs[/config]-excluding-registry
  • storage-excluding-registry (depends only on instance and environs/config)
  • workload

...and, last but most, state, which deserves especially detailed consideration, because:

  • it is by *far* the largest repository of business logic.
  • much of the business logic is horribly entangled with mgo concerns
  • plenty of bits -- pure model validation bits, status stuff, unit/machine assignment rules, probably a thousand more -- will be easy to extract

...but plenty of other bits will *not* be easy: in particular, all the business rules that concern consistency are really tricky, and somewhat dangerous, to extract, because (while those rules and relationshipps *are* business logic) we need to be able to *render* them into a mgo/txn representation to ensure DB consistency. If we just depend on implementing the state bits to match, rather than *use*, the core logic, we're basically completely screwed.

The one place we address these concerns is in the core/lease.Token interface, which includes functionality for communicating with the implementation of lease.Client currently in play; where the state code which is responsible for creating a mongo-based client is not entirely unjustified in making use of the trapdoor to extract mgo.txn operations from lease.Token~s passed back in.

There's probably some sort of generally-useful abstraction to be extracted there, but I'm not sure what it is yet.
