In glance, you are allowed to create a placeholder for an image i.e. an
image record without the actual data. That is what has happened here.
since there is no data passed there is no checksum to verify against and
this is just considered as a placeholder record.

** Changed in: glance
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Strange behavior when no image at all is provided

Status in OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When creating an image without any image data source, the client send
  the request to the server and the image will remain "queued" in the
  catalog index.

  $ glance image-create --name void_image --disk-format=raw --container-format=bare --is-public=False --checksum=1feea91bd5bb1c5e3aa7414d090f5e2f

  No checksum error is returned in this context even if the cheksum
  doesn't match the "void image" (the checksum used here is the md5sum
  of my glance client)

  $ glance image-list |grep void
  | 0f598641-953a-4cea-afbc-624f82d3a2fc | void_image                               | raw         | bare             |             | queued |

  and the image will remain in this status at vitam eternam.
