Brian Waldon ceab6b3ed4 Convert image id value to a uuid
This just changes the value of image.id, leaving the key name alone. We also
enforce image ids provided on an image create be a uuid. Implements
blueprint uuid-image-identifiers

Image Registries
================
Image metadata made available through Glance can be stored in image
`registries`. Image registries are any web service that adheres to the
Glance REST-like API for image metadata.
Glance comes with a server program ``glance-registry`` that acts
as a reference implementation of a Glance Registry.
Please see the document :doc:`on Controlling Servers <controllingservers>`
for more information on starting up the Glance registry server that ships
with Glance.
Glance Registry API
-------------------
Any web service that publishes an API that conforms to the following
REST-like API specification can be used by Glance as a registry.
API in Summary
**************
The following is a brief description of the Glance API::
GET /images Return brief information about public images
GET /images/detail Return detailed information about public images
GET /images/<ID> Return metadata about an image in HTTP headers
POST /images Register metadata about a new image
PUT /images/<ID> Update metadata about an existing image
DELETE /images/<ID> Remove an image's metadata from the registry
Filtering Images Returned via ``GET /images`` and ``GET /images/detail``
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both the ``GET /images`` and ``GET /images/detail`` requests take query
parameters that serve to filter the returned list of images. The following
list details these query parameters.
* ``name=NAME``
Filters images having a ``name`` attribute matching ``NAME``.
* ``container_format=FORMAT``
Filters images having a ``container_format`` attribute matching ``FORMAT``
For more information, see :doc:`About Disk and Container Formats <formats>`
* ``disk_format=FORMAT``
Filters images having a ``disk_format`` attribute matching ``FORMAT``
For more information, see :doc:`About Disk and Container Formats <formats>`
* ``status=STATUS``
Filters images having a ``status`` attribute matching ``STATUS``
For more information, see :doc:`About Image Statuses <statuses>`
* ``size_min=BYTES``
Filters images having a ``size`` attribute greater than or equal to ``BYTES``
* ``size_max=BYTES``
Filters images having a ``size`` attribute less than or equal to ``BYTES``
These two resources also accept sort parameters:
* ``sort_key=KEY``
Results will be ordered by the specified image attribute ``KEY``. Accepted
values include ``id``, ``name``, ``status``, ``disk_format``,
``container_format``, ``size``, ``created_at`` (default) and ``updated_at``.
* ``sort_dir=DIR``
Results will be sorted in the direction ``DIR``. Accepted values are ``asc``
for ascending or ``desc`` (default) for descending.
``POST /images``
----------------
The body of the request will be a JSON-encoded set of data about
the image to add to the registry. It will be in the following format::
{'image':
{'id': <ID>|None,
'name': <NAME>,
'status': <STATUS>,
'disk_format': <DISK_FORMAT>,
'container_format': <CONTAINER_FORMAT>,
'properties': [ ... ]
}
}
The request shall validate the following conditions and return a
``400 Bad request`` when any of the conditions are not met:
* ``status`` must be non-empty, and must be one of **active**, **saving**,
**queued**, or **killed**
* ``disk_format`` must be non-empty, and must be one of **ari**, **aki**,
**ami**, **raw**, **iso**, **vhd**, **vdi**, **qcow2**, or **vmdk**
* ``container_format`` must be non-empty, and must be on of **ari**,
**aki**, **ami**, **bare**, or **ovf**
* If ``disk_format`` *or* ``container_format`` is **ari**, **aki**,
**ami**, then *both* ``disk_format`` and ``container_format`` must be
the same.
* ``id`` must be a uuid in hexadecimal string notation
(i.e. '71c675ab-d94f-49cd-a114-e12490b328d9')
