Title:
  No way to change the image state to kill if error during nova instance
  snapshot

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

Bug description:
  When there is a failure in nova snapshot before uploading the image to
  glance (for example failure on hypervisor capturing the disk image as
  a file) there is no way to notify glance that this image is in error
  state nor the is a way to set it to kill. This will result on
  uncertainty from a client side checking image state, image state will
  be in queue until the call from nova to upload which will then go to
  saving and the active or killed depending on the success of upload to
  store. If an error occurs before image upload request, nova cannot
  call update with image to upload and image will stay in queue state.
  Client will not be able to determine if this is a long running
  snapshot or something bad has happened.

  One suggestion could be to add a new known property named error to the
  update request. If api sees this it will then set the image to error
  and add the error to image metadata. I will try a couple of things
  here, but wanted to get other folks to pitch in on possible solutions.
