I recently proposed a change to glance to turn the file-backed scrubber queue
files into JSON: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/145223/

As I looked into it more, though, it turns out that the file-backed queue is no
longer usable; it was killed by the implementation of this blueprint: https://
blueprints.launchpad.net/glance/+spec/image-location-status

But what's not clear is if the implementation of that blueprint should have
killed the file-backed scrubber queue, or if that was even intended. Two things
contribute to the lack of clarity:

1. The file-backed scrubber code was left in, even though it is unreachable.

2. The ordering of the commits is strange. Namely, commit 66d24bb (https://
review.openstack.org/#/c/67115/) killed the file-backed queue, and then,
*after* that change, 70e0a24 (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/67122/) updates
the queue file format. So it's not clear why the queue file format would be
updated if it was intended that the file-backed queue was no longer usable.

Can someone clarify what was intended here? If killing the file-backed scrubber
queue was deliberate, then let's finish the job and excise that code. If not,
then let's make sure that code is reachable again, and I'll resurrect my
blueprint to make the queue files suck less.

Either way I'm happy to make the changes, I'm just not sure what the goal of
these changes was, and how to properly proceed.

Thanks for any clarification anyone can offer.

I believe the commit you're looking for is this one: 
f338a5c870a36e493f8c818fa783942d1e0565a4

There the scrubber queue was switched on purpose, which leads to the
conclusion that we're moving away from it. I've not participated in
discussions around the change related to the scrubber queue so I'll
let Zhi Yan weight in here.

Thanks for bringing this up,
Flavio

P.S: Would you mind putting a link to this discussion on the spec
review?
