[Bug 1650328] [NEW] The delete server API reference doesn't mention the SOFT_DELETED wrinkle
Public bug reported:
http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/?expanded=delete-server-
detail#delete-server
The API reference for deleting a server is making the assumption that
the instance is going to be (hard) deleted from the system, but it
doesn't take into account the case that CONF.reclaim_instance_interval
is set, which if > 0 makes the API 'soft delete' the instance, so that
the instance's vm status is set to 'SOFT_DELETED' and at some later time
(after the CONF.reclaim_instance_interval has expired since the instance
was soft deleted), a periodic task on the compute node will delete the
instance.
So we should update the reference to talk about the soft deleted wrinkle
so we can set expectations, and it's also just in general kind of a
gross API behavior change based on configuration, but that's another
story.
