Hey folks,

I did a quick proof of concept for a part of the Stack Breakpoint spec[1] and I put the "does this resource have a breakpoint" flag into the metadata of the resource:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/146123/

I'm not sure where this info really belongs, though. It does sound like metadata to me (plus we don't have to change the database schema that way), but can we use it for breakpoints etc., too? Or is metadata strictly for Heat users and not for engine-specific stuff?

I also had a chat with Steve Hardy and he suggested adding a STOPPED state to the stack (this isn't in the spec). While not strictly necessary to implement the spec, this would help people figure out that the stack has reached a breakpoint instead of just waiting on a resource that takes a long time to finish (the heat-engine log and event-list still show that a breakpoint was reached but I'd like to have it in stack-list and resource-list, too).

It makes more sense to me to call it PAUSED (we're not completely stopping the stack creation after all, just pausing it for a bit), I'll let Steve explain why that's not the right choice :-).

Tomas
