Invalid stack creation hangs due to Data too long for column 'status_reason'

[Moshe Elisha]

Hey,

In heat/engine/stack.py state_set method, the reason is used as is when invoking "stack.update_and_save" and it is not truncated.

I understand that making status_reason a longtext instead of varchar(256) might be late for Kilo release. Please consider it for next release.

Logs and stack template attached in zip.

This is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/heat/+bug/1312815 - opening a new bug as requested.

Reproduced in the latest DevStack code (Kilo).

On second thoughts, maybe we can consider switching to longtext now

That would be great!
