Public bug reported: When using ImagePropertiesFilter for something like hardware architecture, it can cause very unpredictable behaviour because of the lack of default value.
In our case, a public cloud user will most likely upload an image without `hw_architecture` defined anywhere (as most instruction and general OpenStack documentation refers to). However, in a case where there are multiple architectures available, the images tagged with a specific architecture will go towards hypervisors with that specific architecture. However, those which are not tagged will go to *any* hypervisor. Because of how popular certain architectures are, it should be possible to be able to set a 'default' value for the architecture as it is the implied one, with the ability to override it if a user wants a specific one. ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
