image filtering not available

[Tim Bell]

We use the image filtering facility in glance image-list to select a subset of images based on property key and sort them.

glance image-list --property-filter os=linux --sort-key updated_at

This is especially useful when we want to automatically find the latest image for a particular distribution.

The openstack CLI does not seem to have this equivalent capability.

[Steve Martinelli (stevemar)]

would you be using v1 or v2 of the image API?

[Tim Bell (tim-bell)]

We are actually using v1 at CERN currently. However, if it is not easy to support both, I would propose to only implement for the v2 API.

DEBUG: openstackclient.shell compute API version 2, cmd group openstack.compute.v2
DEBUG: openstackclient.shell network API version 2, cmd group openstack.network.v2
DEBUG: openstackclient.shell image API version 1, cmd group openstack.image.v1
DEBUG: openstackclient.shell volume API version 1, cmd group openstack.volume.v1
DEBUG: openstackclient.shell identity API version 3, cmd group openstack.identity.v3
DEBUG: openstackclient.shell object_store API version 1, cmd group openstack.object_store.v1

We should consider establishing the common set of filtering and sorting options here. Since the Python APIs always give us back the entire list in memory at once, filtering and sorting even when the server does not support it is easy and we can add this wherever it makes sense independent of server support.

I'm going linkages wrong somehow: https://review.openstack.org/149066
