Allow multiple backup deletes in the command line

[shilpa]

Currently only one backup can be deleted at a time. Allow multiple backups to be deleted in a single command.

Hi Shilpa,

This does not seem a bug rather addition to existing feature.
I would suggest to raise BP for same so that fix strategy can be discussed through spec, if required.

Also, could you please share if you are going to add this in cinder client or in cinder code itself?

Hi Rana,

Here is the blueprint. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/python-cinderclient

This would be added in cinderclient.

Bulk delete of resources does not provide much advantage provided delete itself is async operation. Additionally there is overhead of tracking quota and resources hence monitoring of those bulk deletes.

Alternatively you can loop through backups and delete those one at a time.

Actually delete backup is asyn operation. So, seems no monitoring required.

BP for this is created in cinder and not in cinderclient. :(

Thanks for pointing out. I have moved the BP to cinderclient.

    Allow "cinder backup-delete" to delete multiple backups in one request

    While "cinder snapshot-delete" and "cinder delete" allow multiple resources to be deleted in a single command, "cinder backup-delete" request can only delete one backup at a time. Adding this capability to backups in cinderclient. Enables "cinder backup-delete" to delete multiple backups in a single command.

    With this change the command can be run as below:

    cinder backup-delete <backup> [<backup>...]
