The back and forth between Nova / Neutron and Nova / Glance would be definitely well served by this. Especially if this is something that's easy to query in elastic search.

However, since the last time that came up, we've introduced the concept of "service users", which are a set of higher priv services that we are using to wrap user requests between services so that long running request chains (like image snapshot). We trust these service users enough to keep on trucking even after the user token has expired for this long run operations. We could use this same trust path for request-id chaining.

Ignore me and proceed. :-) Given that the validation will be in a single function in oslo.middeware.request_id, if projects have other needs in the future, there will be a single knob to turn. However, starting strict to be req-$UUID eliminates a whole class of potential bugs and injection concerns. -Sean -- Sean Dague http://dague.net __ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
