[Libstoragemgmt-devel] Rais LsmError or return JobStatus.ERROR when a job failed and user call job_status()?

[Gris Ge]

Hi Tony,

I am trying to document the ASYNC job handling and found a blur
definition about it.

If a task(like volume_create) support ASYNC job, where does the error
code and error message should store if job failed?

Should plugin raise LsmError in job_status() or just set JobStatus.ERROR?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

For python we end up raising LsmError with the error information. For C
we return an error code and the error information. The job status of
'ERROR' will unlikely be used unless we introduce functionality to
retrieve additional error information or add the ability to cancel long
running jobs etc.
