This patchset updates the *-list commands to have consistent definitions of the sort_keys/sort_dirs/limit/filter/marker options. It also modified the execution-list, action-execution-list and task-list commands to return the MOST RECENT entries by default, when no other sort_key, sort_dir or marker options are provided, rather than the oldest entries. There is a new --oldest option for these three commands to allow the user to access the oldest entries instead of the newest. A release note has also been created.

Mistral
Mistral is a workflow service. Most business processes consist of multiple distinct interconnected steps that need to be executed in a particular order in a distributed environment. A user can describe such a process as a set of tasks and their transitions. After that, it is possible to upload such a description to Mistral, which will take care of state management, correct execution order, parallelism, synchronization and high availability.
Mistral also provides flexible task scheduling so that it can run a process according to a specified schedule (for example, every Sunday at 4.00pm) instead of running it immediately. In Mistral terminology such a set of tasks and relations between them is called a workflow.
Mistral client
Python client for Mistral REST API. Includes python library for Mistral API and Command Line Interface (CLI) library.

If Mistral authentication is enabled, provide the information about OpenStack auth to environment variables. Type:
$ export OS_AUTH_URL=http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0
$ export OS_USERNAME=admin
$ export OS_TENANT_NAME=tenant
$ export OS_PASSWORD=secret
$ export OS_MISTRAL_URL=http://<Mistral host>:8989/v2 (optional, by
default URL=http://localhost:8989/v2)and in the case that you are authenticating against keystone over https:
$ export OS_CACERT=<path_to_ca_cert>
Note
In client, we can use both Keystone auth versions - v2.0 and v3. But server supports only v3.*
