Kevin_Zheng 1e536cd4de Add pagination and timestamp filtering support for os-migrations API 
Currently, os-migrations API does not support pagination
and timestamp filtering. As for large scale production
deployment, the number of migration records can be very
big, it will be very useful to add pagination and time
stamp filtering support for os-migrations API.

Add pagination and changes-since filter support for os-migrations API

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ add-pagination-and-change-since-for-migration-list

This blueprint add limit and marker optional parameters to GET /os-migrations request to support pagination.

This blueprint also add changes-since optional parameters to GET /os-migrations request to support filtering response data by updated time.

Problem description

Currently, os-migrations API does not support pagination. As in large scale deployment the number of migration records can be also very large query them all can lead to performance bottleneck, it will be very useful to support pagination.

Also, os-migrations API does not support filter the migration record by last updated time. As for production deployment, the system will be up for a very long time, and the number of migration records will also be very big. It will be very useful to support filter by last update time.

Use Cases

For large scale production deployment, the administrator can use pagination and lastest updated time filter to have more efficient database query.

Proposed change

Add an API microversion that allows to get several migrations using general pagination mechanism with the help of limit and marker`optional parameters to GET /os-migrations request. And add filter with the help of `changes-since optional parameter to GET /os-migrations request.

  • marker: The last migration ID of the previous page. Displays list of migrations after "marker".
  • limit: Maximum number of migrations to display. If limit == -1, all migrations will be displayed. If limit is bigger than osapi_max_limit option of Nova API, limit osapi_max_limit will be used instead.

REST API impact

The proposal would add API microversion for getting several migrations using general pagination mechanism. New optional parameters limit, marker, and changes-since will be added to GET /os-migrations request.

Generic request format :

GET /os-migrations?limit={limit}&marker={migration_id}

  1. Get all migrations :

    GET /os-migrations

    Response :

    {
