Title:
  Nova passing bad 'size' property value 'None' to Glance for images

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) liberty series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Glance does not accept 'None' as a valid value for the 'size' property
  [1].  However, in certain situations Nova is sending a 'size' property
  with a 'None' value.  This results in a 400 response from Glance to
  Nova, and the following backtrace in Glance:

  2015-08-21 14:54:17.916 10446 TRACE glance.api.v1.images Traceback (most recent call last):

  I believe what's happening is Nova tries to enforce certain required
  properties when creating or updating an image, and in the process
  reconciling those with the properties that Glance already has (through
  the _translate_from_glance() [2] and _extract_attributes() [3] methods
  in nova/image/glance.py)

  Nova is enforcing the 'size' property being in place [4], but if
  Glance does not already have a 'size' property on the image (like if
  the image has been queued but not uploaded yet), the value gets set to
  'None' on the Nova side [5].  This gets sent to Glance in subsequent
  calls, and it fails because 'None' cannot be converted to an integer
  (see backtrace above.)

  
  Steps to Reproduce:

  Nova and Glance 2015.1.1

  1.  Queue a new image in Glance
  2.  Attempt to set a metadata attribute on that image (this will fail with 400 error from Glance)
  3.  Actually upload the image data sometime later

  
  Potential Solution:

  I've patched this locally to simply check that the 'size' property
  gets set to 0 instead of 'None' on the Nova side.  I am not familiar
  enough with all the internals here to understand if that's the "right"
  solution, but I can confirm it's working for us and this bug is no
  longer triggered.
