[ovirt-devel] [vdsm] cleaning statistics retrieval

[Sven Kieske]

Sorry if I'm oversimplicating this, as I'm no core dev, so
please ignore or correct me where I'm wrong:

Can't you simply define a versioned interface between
vdsm and engine ?
this interface can be split up in different sections:

section a) must be reported : since 3.5
item 1 : all versions
item 2 : since 3.4
item 3 : since 3.5
section b) can be reported if data is available  : since 3.5
item 1
item 2
section c) ???

as you can see, you can even version the sections
with all data prior to the integration of this interface
falling into section a) or a special section for
backwards compatibility.

If such a thing doesn't exist yet it's maybe hard
to introduce, but worth it.
