API Consistency Cleanup
Currently, there are lots of inconsistency and lose validation in APIs.
Those inconsistencies are because of v2 API compatibility.
Because of loose validation for request body and query param, APIs ignore
the unknown and invalid inputs silently. This gives the impressions to the user
that, requested unknown or invalid inputs are valid and taken care by Nova.
But Nova ignore all unknown or invalid inputs at API layer itself without
any warning to users.
server representation is not consistent among all APIs which return the
server info in the response body.
GET, PUT, REBUILD /servers APIs return the server representation (with all
server attributes). But PUT and REBUILD /servers response does not
match with GET /servers API.
These are 2 examples of API inconsistency and there might be more such example
which are described in https:/
