+=======================================================
+ Add instance name as parameter to various CLI commands
+=======================================================
+
+Blueprint:
+
+https://blueprints.launchpad.net/trove/+spec/add-instance-name-to-cli
+
+The proposal is to allow instance-name to be specified wherever instance-ID
+is currently used throughout the CLI.
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+Currently, only the "trove show" command will take instance-ID or
+instance-name as its parameter. There are many more commands in the
+CLI that require an instance reference as a parameter but require that
+the instance-ID be used. It would be helpful to customers to be able
+to use instance-ID or instance-name interchangeably throughtout the CLI.
+
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+Allow instance-id or instance-name to be passed in for the following
+commands:
+backup-create
+backup-list-instance
+configuration-attach
+configuration-default
+configuration-detach
+database-create
+database-delete
+database-list
+detach-replica
+delete
+metadata-create
+metadata-delete
+metadata-edit
+metadata-list
+metadata-show
+metadata-update
+resize-flavor
+resize-instance
+resize-volume
+restart
+root-enable
+root-show
+update
+user-create
+user-delete
+user-grant-access
+user-list
+user-revoke-access
+user-show
+user-show-access
+user-update-attributes
+
+For example, trove delete currently looks like this:
+usage: trove delete <instance>
+
+Deletes an instance.
+
+Positional arguments:
+  <instance>  ID of the instance.
+
+The proposal is to make it look like this:
+usage: trove delete <instance>
+
+Deletes an instance.
+
+Positional arguments:
+  <instance>  ID or name of the instance.
+
+
+This will be a CLI change only.

+
+Work Items
+----------
+
+1. Go through python-troveclient/troveclient/v1/shell.py and call
+   _find_instance(cs, args.instance) ahead of the "real" work in each "do_<>"
+   method.
+2. Alter the help text in shell.py to indicate the use of name or ID.
+3. Alter the existing unit tests as appropriate.
+
+Dependencies

+
+None
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+If we had Tempest coverage for the CLI it would be adjusted to exercise
+passing instance name to all the altered commands. Also, there is an
+existing LP bug [1] that indicates we should write tests for the CLI.
+
+Both of these are considered out of scope for this BP.

+
+Documentation Impact
+====================
+
+The help text for the aforementioned commands will be altered to now
+include instance name as a valid parameter. I believe that the CLI
+documentation is generated from the code.
