Hi Devs,

I have submitted a cross-project specs [1] for returning request-id to the 
caller which was approved. For implementation we have submitted patches in 
python-cinderclient [2] as per design in cross-project specs. However we have 
found one issue while implementing this design in python-glanceclient and 
submitted a lite-spec [3] to address this issue.

As per the comments [4] on lite-specs, glance core are suggesting new approach 
to use hooks and pass empty list to each of the api, so that when the hook is 
executed it will append the request-id to the list.

POC code for approach suggested by glance:
------------------------------------------
# change in python-glanceclient/v2/images.py to delete api

import functools

def append_request_id(req_id_lst, response, *args, **kwargs):
    req_id = response.headers.get('x-openstack-request-id')
    if req_id:
        req_id_lst.append(req_id)

def setup_request_id_hook(req_id_lst):
    if req_id_lst is not None:
        return dict(response=functools.partial(append_request_id, req_id_lst))

def delete(self, image_id, request_ids=None):
                hook = setup_request_id_hook(request_ids)
                url = '/v2/images/%s' % image_id
                self.http_client.delete(url, hooks=hook)

# modify the do_image_delete function (glanceclient/v2/shell.py) to look as 
follows:

request_ids = []
gc.images.delete(args_id, request_ids=request_ids)
print request_ids

$ glance image-delete 11887d68-7faf-4821-9a42-3ec63451067c
['req-a0892f56-2626-4069-8787-f8bf56e0c1cc']

We have tested this approach and it is working as per expectation, only thing 
is that we need to make changes in every method to add hook and request_id list.
>From third-party tools, user need to pass this request-ids list as mentioned 
>in above poc in order to get the request-id back.

My point here is, should we follow this new approach in all python-clients to 
maintain the consistency across openstack?

Please provide your feedback for the same.
