hi folks:
When we use paginated queries to retrieve instances, we can't get the
total count of instances in current list-servers API.
The count of the querying result is important for operators, Think about a
case, the operators want to know how many 'error' instances
in current deployment in order to make a plan to handle these instances
according to the total count. If the querying page limit is 100,
they have no idea about the count of 'error' instances when they view the
first page, how many instances in the subsequent pages, 101 or 1000?
I found this blueprint "Server Count API" [1], looks like it can solve
my question, so I would like to see it land in Mitaka release.
But the spec [2] has not been updated since May, somebody still work on
this? I can help to push this feature if need.
