trove-specs/specs/template.rst

This template should be in ReSTructured text. The filename in the git repository should match the launchpad URL, for example a URL of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/trove/+spec/awesome-thing should be named awesome-thing.rst.

Please do not delete any of the sections in this template. If you have nothing to say for a whole section, just write: None

Title of the blueprint

Include the URL of your launchpad blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/trove/+spec/example

Introduction paragraph -- what is the motivation for the blueprint?

Problem description

A detailed description of the problem.

Proposed change

Here is where you cover the change you propose to make in detail. How do you propose to solve this problem?

If this is one part of a larger effort make it clear where this piece ends. In other words, what's the scope of this effort?

If your specification proposes any changes to the Trove REST API such as changing parameters which can be returned or accepted, or even the semantics of what happens when a client calls into the API, then you should add the APIImpact flag to the commit message. Specifications with the APIImpact flag can be found with the following query:

https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/trove-specs+message:apiimpact,n,z

Configuration

Does this impact any configuration files? If so, which ones?

Database

Does this impact any existing tables? If so, which ones? Are the changes forward and backward compatible? Be sure to include the expected migration process

Public API

Does this change any API that an end-user has access to? Are there any exceptions in terms of consistency with other APIs?

Internal API

Does this change any internal messages between API and Task Manager or Task Manager to Guest?

Guest Agent

Does this change behavior on the Guest Agent? If so, is it backwards compatible with API and Task Manager?

Alternatives

This is an optional section, where it does apply we'd just like a demonstration that some thought has been put into why the proposed approach is the best one.

Implementation

Assignee(s)

Who is leading the writing of the code? Or is this a blueprint where you're throwing it out there to see who picks it up?

If more than one person is working on the implementation, please designate the primary author and contact.

Primary assignee:

<launchpad-id or None>

Can list additional ids if they intend on doing substantial implementation work on this blueprint.

Milestones

Target Milestone for completion:

eg. Kilo-2

Work Items

Work items or tasks -- break the feature up into the things that need to be done to implement it. Those parts might end up being done by different people, but we're mostly trying to understand the timeline for implementation.

Dependencies

• Include specific references to specs and/or blueprints in Trove, or in other projects, that this one either depends on or is related to.
• Does this feature require any new library dependencies or code otherwise not included in OpenStack? Or does it depend on a specific version of library?

Testing

Please discuss how the change will be tested. We especially want to know what int tests and tempest tests will be added. It is assumed that unit test coverage will be added so that doesn't need to be mentioned explicitly, but discussion of why you think unit tests are sufficient and we don't need to add more tempest tests would need to be included.

Documentation Impact

What is the impact on the docs team of this change? Some changes might require donating resources to the docs team to have the documentation updated. Don't repeat details discussed above, but please reference them here.

References

Please add any useful references here. You are not required to have any references. Moreover, this specification should still make sense when your references are unavailable. Examples of what you could include are:

• Links to mailing list or IRC discussions
• Links to notes from a summit session
• Links to relevant research, if appropriate
• Anything else you feel it is worthwhile to refer to
