Comment 9 for bug 1545092

Thanks for the analysis, Nikhil.

Your point (5) is well-taken about the capabilities of modern DBMS, although I imagine that the glance DB servers on most clouds are probably not very beefy, as the Glance DB doesn't see anywhere near the amount of transactions as, say, the Nova DB.

My main point in bringing this up is the DefCore 2016.01 situation. To pass the 'images-v2-index' test, clouds that may not have exposed the v2 image-create call to end-users previously will have to expose it now. Even if it's not a complete DOS, as you explain in point (4), it can lead to a pretty bad user experience.
