About neutron and glance API
Hi,
I am using jclouds openstack neutron and it has been very useful for me
but some of the features are still missing in it.
I want to use glance API for upload and download of image but it is not
available from this link, https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-openstack
I came to know that glance API exists but not integrated with jclouds and
it supports openstack API v1.0
It would be great if I get to know what are the tentative timelines for
these components to be entirely available with jclouds or at least tell me
how can I use neutron and glance(v1.0 glance is fine or I have to look for
v2.0?) independently
Thank you

It depends on the OpenStack REST API version, which in turn depends on the OpenStack release. e.g. Neutron v2 first appeared in Folsom.

Yes, within minor point releases [1]. e.g. If OpenStack releases the Glance v1.2 REST API in Grizzly, that will still be compatible with the jclouds Glance v1 support.

We do new jclouds APIs for new API versions in OpenStack but don’t remove the previous jclouds APIs. e.g. The Glance v2 API is being added to jclouds but we won’t be removing the Glance v1 API in jclouds.
HTH,

Thanks a lot for the reply Everett
I need to clarify one more thing about this and it will be really helpful
to me if you provide it -
Does this version of jclouds API for various services (eg neutron v2 glance
v1) depend on certain openstack release (eg gizzely/havana) or it depends
on openstack REST API version? If REST API version changes will still
jclouds be able to communicate to openstack using new version of REST API ?
I mean how will this support for new version of openstack REST API be
handled by maintaining backward compatibility with old API versions ?
Thank you

Hi Shital,
You can actually use the Glance v1 API right now. Here’s the dep for it.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.jclouds.labs</groupId>
<artifactId>openstack-glance</artifactId>
<version>${jclouds.version}</version>
</dependency>
There’s no solid timeline on when the Glance v2 API [1] will be ready unfortunately. We haven’t heard from the author in a while.
The dep for Neutron is
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.jclouds.labs</groupId>
<artifactId>openstack-glance</artifactId>
<version>${jclouds.version}</version>
</dependency>
Regards,
Everett
