Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 19:04:55 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/glance/+spec/image-recover.

Description:

1. Recover image from pending-delete state
    We claim that the image in pending-delete state is recoverable, but actually, we don't support that.
    See https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Glance-image-recover to get more details.
    And we're using https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/glance-v2-image-recovery to track the design discussion.

2. Reuse image(id) from deleted state. There are 2 user sceanrios can be referenced.
    a) Replicator. User replicates image from endpoint A to B, then delete an one of replicated images from B. Next replicate will failed since there will be a image id conflict.
    b) Sometimes, user import images from another 3rd party repository, such as vCenter image lib. However, he will run into problem when an image was deleted and then readd.
