The POST /os-server-external-events API had the following confusing behavior: With multiple events in the payload, if *some* (but not all) were dropped, the HTTP response was 207, with per-event 4xx error codes in the payload. But if *all* of the events were dropped, the overall HTTP response was 404 with no payload. Thus, especially for consumers sending only one event at a time, it was impossible to distinguish e.g. "you tried to send an event for a nonexistent instance" from "the instance you specified hasn't landed on a host yet". This fix gets rid of that sweeping 404 condition, so if *any* subset of the events are dropped (including *all* of them), the HTTP response will always be 207, and the payload will always contain granular per-event error codes. This effectively means the API can no longer return 404, ever. Closes-Bug: #1855752 Change-Id: Ibad1b51e2cf50d00102295039b6e82bc00bec058

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
