_translate_from_glance() can cause an unnecessary HTTP request

[Chris Buccella]

I noticed when performing a "nova image-show" on a current (not deleted) image, two HTTP requests were issued. Why isn't the Image retrieved on the first GET request?

In fact, it is. The problem lies in _extract_attributes(), called by _translate_from_glance(). This function loops through a list of expected attributes, and extracts them from the passed-in Image. The problem is that if the attribute 'deleted' is False, there won't be a 'deleted_at' attribute in the Image. Not finding the attribute results in getattr() making another GET request (to try to find the "missing" attribute?). This is unnecessary of course, since it makes sense for the Image to not have that attribute set.

This is going away, so not too important to fix right now.

Any further details on "this is going away"? Link to a mailing list post perhaps?

    _translate_from_glance() can cause an unnecessary HTTP request

    After returning from a get() call to python-glanceclient, nova runs a
    translation function on the returned Image to get the data it wants. Part of
    this process is checking for an expected set of attributes, one of which is
    the deletion time ('deleted_at'). However, if the image has not been deleted,
    deleted_at key will not exist. This forces another call to glance to occur for
    the same image. A similar problem exists for the checksum attribute, which does
    not exist before an image is active. The fix here is to only consider
    deleted_at and checksum if they are expected to be present.
