My plan was to store the connector object at attach_volume time.   I was 
going to add an additional column to the cinder volume attachment table 
that stores the connector that came from nova.   The problem is live 
migration. After live migration the connector is out of date.  Cinder 
doesn't have an existing API to update attachment.  That will have to be 
added, so that the connector info can be updated.
We have needed this for force detach for some time now.

It's on my list, but most likely not until N, or at least not until the 
microversions land in Cinder.
