From 0fbeac7f7e6b566766462ba4e3114a2f0195d1ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Bashmakov Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 16:02:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Release note for glance config opts. Adding a release note stating the work on improving configuration options of Glance for this release. Some of the configuration options in Glance were set with a ``min``, preventing them to accept negative integers like in the previous release. This release note will give operators a heads up on this. This note is copied and modifed for glance from I8db8764f84c92e987a774ce3650beb53d9635905 which was originally done for glance_store Co-Authored-By: Dharini Chandrasekar Change-Id: I1afaa7206bd964409c343abcc385eff9dbf6b2ed --- ...roved-config-options-221c58a8c37602ba.yaml | 29 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+) create mode 100644 releasenotes/notes/improved-config-options-221c58a8c37602ba.yaml diff --git a/releasenotes/notes/improved-config-options-221c58a8c37602ba.yaml b/releasenotes/notes/improved-config-options-221c58a8c37602ba.yaml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..67d9cab7fe --- /dev/null +++ b/releasenotes/notes/improved-config-options-221c58a8c37602ba.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +--- +prelude: > + Improved configuration options for glance. Please + refer to the ``other`` section for more information. + +other: + - The glance configuration options have been + improved with detailed help texts, defaults for + sample configuration files, explicit choices + of values for operators to choose from, and a + strict range defined with ``min`` and ``max`` + boundaries. + + It must be noted that the configuration options + that take integer values now have a strict range defined + with "min" and/or "max" boundaries where appropriate. This + renders the configuration options incapable of taking certain + values that may have been accepted before but were actually + invalid. For example, configuration options specifying counts, + where a negative value was undefined, would have still accepted + the supplied negative value. Such options will no longer accept + negative values. However, options where a negative value was + previously defined (for example, -1 to mean unlimited) will + remain unaffected by this change. + + Values that do not comply with the appropriate restrictions + will prevent the service from starting. The logs will contain + a message indicating the problematic configuration option and + the reason why the supplied value has been rejected.
