Jan Provaznik commented on DTACLOUD-224:
----------------------------------------
error categories are tracked in separate ticket:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DTACLOUD-309
> So if Deltacloud API will get some smart error categorisation system, that
> system may not work well for everyone.
Well, the original provider error would be kept, so no information would be
lost.
> Error abstraction/categorization

> Project: DeltaCloud

> It would be nice to get categorized errors from Deltacloud if something goes
> wrong instead of just forwarding a provider specific error directly to
> client. For example if an instance create failed because something was wrong
> with hw profile, Deltacloud would return HWProfileError exception. The
> original provider specific exception would be included in some description.
> For the beginning most errors would be in some some generic class, only most
> common errors would be categorized, especially these which are related to
> params passed in API calls, for instance creation it would be errors related
> to image id, realms, hwp...
> Use case for Aeolus is this: if instance create action fails for some reason,
> we need to decide if the instance should be launched on same provider with
> different configuration (different realm/hwp...) or if it's better to try
> launch the instance on another provider account or even provider.
> Deltacloud is the best place where the error abstraction should be done
> because:
> - Deltacloud is the abstraction layer which should abstract provider-specific
> behavior
> - each Deltacloud client would have to implement it's own error abstraction
