tengqm 29353130b8 Remove TODO item related to node-create/delete
We have had the node-create and node-delete requests properly handled by
relevant policy types. This patch removes that TODO item.

Senlin TODO Item List
=====================
This document records all workitems the team want to finish in a short-term
(usually a development cycle which lasts 6 month). All jobs listed here are NOT
in working progress which means developers can pick up any workitem they are
interested in if they do have enough time to work on it. Developer should file
a BluePrint in the launchpad to give a detailed description about their plan after
deciding to work on a specific item. A patch should be proposed as well to remove
related workitem from the TODO list after the BP gets approval.
HIGH PRIORITY
=============
API
---
- Find and fill gaps with API-WG besides the one we already identified.
- Validate API request for unexpected attributes. Such attributes should
result in a 400 error. [https://review.openstack.org/#/c/260292]
ENGINE
------
- Scaling Improvments [https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/newton-senlin-ha]
* Ensure all scaling operations are based on 'desired_capacity'.
* Ensure 'desired_capacity' will be controlled by users, not senlin engine
or policies.
* Always do health check before any scaling actions.
MIDDLE PRIORITY
===============
API
---
- Support advanced filters as suggested by the API WG:
`Filtering Guidelines`_
- Support to ``os-request-id`` when serving api requests.
- Add profile-validate and policy-validate APIs:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/newton-senlin-validation
PROFILE
-------
- Add support to template_url for heat stack profile. If template and template_url
are both specified, use template. Need to refer to heat api test for testing heat
profile.
POLICY
------
- Provide support for watching all objects we created on behalf of users, like
loadbalancer which is created when attaching lb policy.
- Leverage other monitoring service for object health status monitoring.
DB
--
- Add db purge (senlin-manage) for deleting events and actions because they
accumulate very fast.
LOW PRIORITY
============
API
---
- Add support to osprofiler which is a common library across all openstack
projects for tracing and profiling.
ENGINE
------
- Allow actions to be paused and resumed. This is important for some background
actions such as health checking.
- Add support to replace a cluster node with another node.
- Provide support to oslo.notification and allow nodes to receive and react
to those notifications accordingly: `Autoscaling Notifications`_
POLICY
------
- Batching policy: create batchs for node creation/deletion/update.
PROFILE
-------
- Support disk property update for os.nova.server profile
Receiver
--------
- Zaqar queue based receiver.
DOC
-----
- Provide a sample conf file for customizing senlin options.
OTHERS
------
- Integration with Glare for profile/policy specs storage. At least we may
want to enable users to retrieve/reference heat templates from glare when
creating profiles.
