From 14b9e1fdf5efea805ff29b12f328061e4333b87d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dharini Chandrasekar Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 16:24:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Release note for glance_store configuration opts. Adding a release note stating the work on improving configuration options of Glance store for this release. Some of the configuration options in Glance store were set with a ``min``, preventing them to accept negative integers like in the previous release. This release note will give operators a heads up on this.

Please + refer to the ``other`` section for more information. + +other: + - The glance_store configuration options have been + improved with detailed help texts, defaults for + sample configuration files, explicit choices + of values for operators to choose from, and a + strict range defined with ``min`` and ``max`` + boundaries. + + It is to be noted that the configuration options + that take integer values now have a strict range defined + with "min" and/or "max" boundaries where appropriate. This + renders the configuration options incapable of taking certain + values that may have been accepted before but were actually + invalid. For example, configuration options specifying counts, + where a negative value was undefined, would have still accepted + the supplied negative value. Such options will no longer accept + negative values. However, options where a negative value was + previously defined (for example, -1 to mean unlimited) will + remain unaffected by this change. + + Values that do not comply with the appropriate restrictions + will prevent the service from starting. The logs will contain + a message indicating the problematic configuration option and + the reason why the supplied value has been rejected.
