- Convert the various functions that take a task detail into
ones that take atom details (since this is now the generic
type they should take).
- Don't expose the detail type strings as part of the atom
detail api, leave those as private hidden strings and provide
conversion functions from string<->class instead.
- Have the logbook objects contain the following new methods
to reduce the dependence on persistence_utils to do the same.
- to_dict() which converts the current object into a dict
- from_dict() which converts the provided dict into a object
- merge() which merges a incoming objects data with the current
objects
- Have the persistence backends + storage + action engine use these
new methods instead of there current usage.
- Don't compare to logbook.RETRY_DETAIL or logbook.TASK_DETAIL since
python has the isinstance function just use it (ideally we should
fix the code so that this isn't even needed, usage of isinstance
means something is not designed/structured right).
- In storage tests we can't assume that failures will be non-lossy
since under certain backends when a failure is stored information
about the internally held exc_info is lost, so take this into
account when testing by using matches() where applicable.
