2016-05-23 Thread Alex Meade
This sounds like a good idea to me. The queue doesn't handle this since we just read everything off immediately anyways. I have seen issues where customers have to write scripts that build 5 volumes, sleep, then build more until they get >100 volumes. Just because a Cinder volume service will

I'd like an answer on this specific issue. I agree with Chris and I wonder if our goal is consistency across services or an ideal standard. Nova has 'X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version' and Manila has 'X-Openstack-Manila-Api-Version'. If we deviate from this, we should suggest that those projects add

I don't know if this is really a big problem. IMO, even with microversions you shouldn't be implementing things that aren't backwards compatible within the major version. I thought the benefit of microversions is to know if a given feature exists within the major version you are using. I would

Agreed, I'd also like to mention that rebranded arrays may differ slightly in functionality as well so the CIs would need to run against a physical rebranded device. These differences also justify the need for letting rebranded drivers in. -Alex On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 4:41 PM, Mike Perez
