Hello Everyone,
As per discussion over ML, Tempest started the JSON schema strict validation for Volume APIs response [1]. Because it may affect the interop certification, it was explained to the Interop team as well as in the Board of Director meeting[2].
In Train, Tempest started implementing the validation and found an API change where the new field was added in API response without versioning[3] (Cinder has API microversion mechanism). IMO, that was not the correct way to change the API and as per API-WG guidelines[4] any field added/modified/removed in API should be with microverison(means old versions/user should not be affected by that change) and must for API interoperability.
With JSON schema validation, Tempest verifies the API interoperability recommended behaviour by API-WG. But as per IRC conversion with cinder team, we have different opinion on API interoperability and how API should be changed under microversion mechanism. I would like to have a conclusion on this so that Tempest can verify or leave the Volume API for strict validation.
