Description

This PR adds a detail core for the listHosts API, which makes it so we don't make N+1 queries when getting details (cpu usage, clusterid, etc.).

This will drastically reduce the time it takes to listHosts and allows us to get a list of hosts & their state, which can take lot of time for the API to complete if the core detail is not passed

This is strictly opt-in with listHosts details=core and the default bahaviour is unchanged.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a new opt-in details=core option for the listHosts API, intended to return a lightweight “core” host response and avoid per-host (N+1) lookups performed by the existing response builder.

Changes:

  • Added core to ApiConstants.HostDetails so listHosts can accept details=core.
  • Implemented a new “core” host response path in HostJoinDaoImpl.newHostResponse(...) via setNewCoreHostResponse(...).

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated 3 comments.

File Description
server/src/main/java/com/cloud/api/query/dao/HostJoinDaoImpl.java Adds a new lightweight host response builder and routes details=core requests to it.
api/src/main/java/org/apache/cloudstack/api/ApiConstants.java Adds core to the HostDetails enum (allowed values for details).

Reproduced while testing. In core the managementserverid comes back as the raw numeric id, while every other mode returns the UUID - so the same field changes format depending on the detail flag, which could be a risk for consumers reading it. From a QA perspective, omitting it (as suggested above) is the safer of the two - a missing field is easier to handle than a value that looks valid but is in the wrong/unexpected format.

Confirmed in testing. Any request that mixes core with another value (core,stats ; core,capacity ; core,events; core,all; core,min) returns the lightweight core set and silently drops the other requested fields. So if it fails quietly - the caller gets fewer fields than they asked for, with no error.

@nvazquez in the description you mentioned avoiding requests when getting details like cpu usage, but I don't see this parameter in specific being added to the response, am I missing something?


public enum HostDetails {
all, capacity, events, stats, min;
all, capacity, events, stats, min, core;

Also, the copilot left a review regarding the MS ID that I kind of agree. This API is admin only, so shouldn't be a big deal returning the internal ID, however, this same api returns MS UUID when other filters are passed, having this one be different may cause confusion

Thanks @RosiKyu @GaOrtiga @weizhouapache - I have refactored the code according to your review comments and Copilot comments. The only pending item is the msid return value, I'm keeping this PR in draft while this is not addressed and will put back to review state once its sorted out
