Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-296:
---------------------------------------
Yeah, in this case (afaik) there is no way around breaking backward
compatibility which is fine imo.
This change would be included in the next "minor" release which can contain
backward incompatible changes. We obviously still try to do our best and avoid
backward incompatible changes, but sadly that's not always possible.
So as long as this change and the potential impact on the existing code is
documented in the following places:
- Release notes
- Upgrade notes page on the website
- Release announcement.
We should be fine.
> Proposal to add a node state - STOPPED - to the standard list of states.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LIBCLOUD-296
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-296
> Project: Libcloud
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compute
> Affects Versions: 0.11.2
> Reporter: Jayyy V
> Priority: Minor
>
> With providers like EC2, a node can be stopped and started again.
> STOPPED - is a reasonably useful state to determine the nodes that are just
> stopped but not terminated and initiate a start operation, if required.
> Currently a EC2 stopped node is being mapped to UNKNOWN state. Without a
> STOPPED state, we are losing an important information with all the providers
> who supports this state.
> A sample ec2 node data in stopped state
