[RFE] Cascading delete for LBaaS Objects

[German Eichberger]

The LBaaS-Horizon Dashboard people requested a cascading delete in the LBaaS V2 REST API. So that if say you use an additional parameter (let's call it force=True) by deleting a load balancer it will also delete listeners, pools, and members. The same should be true for listeners, pools, etc.

In a first step we likely should just a dd that to the API, and then in a next step add it to the CLI.

As a side effect that might help operators cleaning out accounts efficiently...

[Doug Wiegley (dougwig)]

I'd like to see this proposal match/be similar to the "make a load balancer tree in one api" proposal, since it's a complementary operation.

[Brandon Logan (brandon-logan)]

cascade=True would probably be better than force IMO

[Armando Migliaccio (armando-migliaccio)]

 I personally would like to see these orchestration-oriented API die, but it looks like I am the only one who has this sentiment

[Armando Migliaccio (armando-migliaccio)]

Where do we draw a line and stop adding these orchestration APIs? Let's see if this is the last one that ever makes it.

[Armando Migliaccio (armando-migliaccio)]

This has shown no activity for a while. I was informed by Doug that someone might have already started working on it, and there may be code posted soon. On that basis I would be ok accepting this RFE. However, I generally feel strongly against orchestration APIs that can easily be replaced by primitive calls. Unless someone revives this bug report soon, I am going to mark it WONTFIX

[Armando Migliaccio (armando-migliaccio)]

Not sure what triggered the state change. I can't seem to find anything pertinent.

FYI you can find reviews referencing a bug by searching gerrit for "message:<bug number>".

I meant to readd german to the assignee but its not finding his name, so leaving it blank for now. I was just pushing up a PS to his review to show him something.

[Armando Migliaccio (armando-migliaccio)]

Since the code is being churned...I stay true to my promise on comment #5

[Armando Migliaccio (armando-migliaccio)]

This is being reverted.
