Title:
  Broken retry mechanism for 'nova image-list'

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

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) mitaka series:

Bug description:
  You can configure a list of glance API servers in nova.conf like so:

      [glance]
      api_servers=http://192.168.122.30:9292/v1,http://192.168.122.31:9292/v1
      num_retries = 5

  When a call to one of the glance api servers fails, nova typically
  retries the call on one of the others. This is not the case for 'nova
  image-list'.

  The retry mechanism is here:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/83261f3106a8bdde38d258a74da777add4956290/nova/image/glance.py#L249

  In the case of 'nova image-list', glanceclient returns a python
  generator rather than an actual list of images. Because a generator is
  returned, an exception will never be raised there, so the retry
  mechanism is never executed.

      https://github.com/openstack/python-
  glanceclient/blob/d59e341a4cd99a8488d5cf41052d9b218379ac87/glanceclient/v1/images.py#L268
