[Bug 1778591] [NEW] GET /allocations/{uuid} on a consumer with no allocations provides no generation

 

Public bug reported:

If we write some allocations with PUT /allocations/{uuid} at modern
microversions, a consumer record is created for {uuid} and a generation
is created for that consumer. Each subsequent attempt to PUT
/allocations/{uuid} must include a matching consumer generation.

If the allocations for a consumer are cleared (either DELETE, or PUT
/allocations/{uuid} with an empty dict of allocations) two things go
awry:

* the consumer record, with a generation, stays around
* GET /allocations/{uuid} returns the following:

   {u'allocations': {}}

That is, no generation is provided, and we have no way figure one out
other than inspecting the details of the error response.

Some options to address this:

* Return the generation in that response
* When the allocations for a consumer go empty, remove the consumer
* Something else?

** Affects: nova
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Triaged
