Microversions also reared their head in the form of a long
discussion about how SDK developers and users are consuming
microversions at a very granular level. This discussion opened many
surprised eyes as we learned how different SDK platforms deal with
microversions, and what exactly are the best practices. We agreed
that it is generally good for an SDK to shield its users from the
details of microversions, but to allow power users to access them if
they care to.
I wanted to add some notes about this.
I wasn't able to attend the PTG but I was delighted that somehow this
topic came up - and it looks like it was a very in-depth conversation,
too. The etherpad notes look to have accurately summarized the
difficulty we're having with microversions in Gophercloud.
Difficult as the problem is, we're not exactly stuck... yet, anyway. As
one of the maintainers of Gophercloud, one thing I wanted to mention is
that there shouldn't be a concern of communication problems or anything
of the sort (ie: why haven't these Gophercloud guys reached out??).
While the discussion of microversions has been going on for almost two
months, we only have, at best, a couple of hours a week to research
solutions. If either we reach a solution or unfortunately come up short,
I plan to post to the api-consumer list with a story of the experience,
feedback, and/or a call for help that we're flat out stuck. At the
moment, anything more would be commentating the sport of virtual
whiteboarding :)
On the topic of microversions itself, I'm finding this to be a fun
challenge. I like the core goals of microversions, and given that there
isn't precedence for this type of thing (unless I'm mistaken) makes it
more fun. I do hope that we can implement a solution that enables users
of Gophercloud to easily leverage microversions and do some really cool
stuff.
Hi Joe!
I'd be interested in helping out. Can you point me to where you're
tracking issues related to microversion support on GH?
Best,
