config_drive DB column cleanup

[Chris Behrens]

config_drive doesn't support image IDs anymore. The config_drive column currently is in a weird state where an empty string value means False... and code relies on the DB casting True to a string.

I've reviewed the code review for this one, and I think changing this is a bad idea.

Marking this as New since I'm not seeing any progress or review linked to this.

We should at least get the docs updated for the config-drive API extension since it lists the parameter as a string uuid value:

http://api.openstack.org/api-ref-compute-v2-ext.html

config_drive (Optional) plain csapi:UUID ID of image to mount within server as a configuration drive.

are we just going to close this as a doc bug?

Have created https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-api-site/+bug/1339392 to fix the documentation in the meanwhile. Will put in the change once the bug gets confirmed.

Doc fix has landed

There has been no progress on this since 2013 so I'm going to have a look. Hope that's OK

This was partially fixed in '296479e1a'

In fact, it's completely fixed seeing as we'll never mess with the actual DB (doing so would involve a migration: not worth it for something non-devs don't care about).
