That is, selecting the nearest location from the image locations and this is something that perhaps should happen in glance-api, not nova.I disagree. The reason is because glance-api does not know where nova is. Nova does.
Nova doesn't know where glance is either. More info is required in order to finally do something smart here. Not sure what the best approach is just yet but as mentioned in my previous email I think focusing on the stores for now is the thing to do. (As you pointed out bellow too).
I continue to think that the best performance gains will come from getting rid of glance-api entirely, putting the block-streaming bits into a separate Python library, and having Nova and Cinder pull image/volume bits directly from backend storage instead of going through the glance middleman.
This is exactly what we're doing by pulling glance.store into its own library. I'm working on this myself. We are not completely getting rid of glance-api but we're working on not depending on it to get the image data. Cheers, flaper
