Public bug reported:

[Summary]
unexpected rbd import when creating instance

[Steps to reproduce]
1. glance use ceph as backend store. upload a new image which disk_format is raw, named test_image
2. set images_type to raw at nova.conf and restart the nova-compute service, on node mystack-compute-01
3. use test_image to create an instance on mystack-compute-01, now nova will download the test-image into _base directory as the base image file.
4. change images_type to rdb and restart nova-compute service, and use test_image create a new instance. nova will use 'rbd import' command to import the base image file in _base into ceph cluster rather than clone it.


I think the 'rbd import' is time-consuming. Since the test_image is stored in ceph and disk_format is raw, which means is_cloneable, nova can direct clone it rather than import.
