Greetings,
In the last Glance meeting, it was proposed to pull out glance's
stores[0] code into its own package. There are a couple of other
scenarios where using this code is necessary and it could also be
useful for other consumers outside OpenStack itself.
That being said, it's not clear where this new library should live in:
1) Oslo: it's the place for common code, incubation, although this
code has been pretty stable in the last release.
2) glance.stores under Image program: As said in #1, the API has
been pretty stable - and it falls perfectly into what Glance's
program covers.
What about:
3) Cinder
Cinder is for block storage. Images are just a bunch of blocks, and all
the store drivers do is take a chunked stream of input blocks and store
them to disk/swift/s3/rbd/toaster and stream those blocks back out again.
So, perhaps the most appropriate place for this is in Cinder-land.
Best,
-jay
