Update share-type’s metadata¶

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/manila/+spec/update-share-type-name-or-description

This blueprint proposed to update the name, description and/or share_type_access:is_public attribute of share-type after create a share type, that support update the name, description and/or share_type_access:is_public attribute of a share-type.

Problem description¶

Currently, only the name, description and/or share_type_access:is_public of share-type is set when the share-type is created, and not allowed to be edited after the share-type is created. We can only set extra spec for share-type. But not name, description and/or share_type_access:is_public for share-type.

Use Cases¶

As a user, I would like to update the attribute of share-type, and to update its name, description and/or share_type_access:is_public of share-type after created. I would prefer this when I need a new share-type and do not have to create a new one.

Proposed change¶

Add a new microversion to the share type API.

Add a new function API to the Share types.

Add a update share-type API, available in a new micro version of the manila API:
- Add update method to ShareTypesController class.
- Add name, description and/or share_type_access:is_public parameters to share_type of the request body.
- Make the name and description parameters optional. And their length not more than 255. share_type_access:is_public parameters is also optional, but it’s a boolean type.
  
  If name is NULL, the name of share type will not be updated.
  
  If description is NULL, the description of share type will not be updated.
  
  If share_type_access:is_public is NULL, the public access of share type will not be updated.
  
  If name is “”, the name of share type is not valid.
  
  If description is “”, the description of share type will be empty.
