[openstack-dev] [Glance] Implementing Common Image Properties

Another dimension to this problem is the need to filter the image lists
returned from glance based on these attributes.

I am not fully up to speed on the latest Glance API, but does it include a
way to filter on base properties?  What about the ability to filter on
arbitrary key-value pairs (metadata)?

If we can provide the ability to filter on both of those then I don't think
it matters as much what we specify as a base property and what we ask
people to implement as a key-value pair.  If on the other hand we are only
going to provide a way to filter the image lists using base properties then
I would argue that we have to be much more inclusive about what we make
base properties.

If there isn't anything in Glance around this right now I know this is
something that HP is willing to commit resources to.
