I don't understand why this was ever in nova. This really should be

glanceclient.discover... something. It uses internal methods from
glanceclient and internal structures of the content returned.

Catching, if desired, should also be on the glanceclient side.
glanceclient.reset_version() could exist to clear any caching.

This is exactly what I said in the original review in Mitaka :(

Note that on PS10 I wrote:

This code belongs in glanceclient, not Nova, IMHO...

Line 169: Most of the above code should actually be in the python-glanceclient package, not here. The Nova code should be able to call glanceclient with a URI and get the latest supported Glance API version.

and then later I said:

To be a little clearer... the Nova code should be able to do something like this:

 glance_uris = CONF.glance_api_servers
 glance_uri_version_map = {glance_uri: glanceclient.get_latest_version(uri)
            for uri in glance_uris}

So... pretty much in line with what you say above.

Flavio then responded to me:

"While I agree with you, I believe we should let this in "for now" whilst it's added to glanceclient. One of the things that blocked the previous work during the Kilo cycle were things being added to glanceclient and the fact that they weren't available right away.

Can we agree on removing this code as soon as there's a glanceclient release with it? Happy to have a bug filed against glanceclient. The glance team will take care of this."

and I wrote:

"OK, if you promise to remove some of this code when glanceclient gets this functionality, then I suppose I'm good with this going in Nova for now."

So, there's your answer to "why this was ever in Nova".

Best,
