RE: [Xen-API] lowlevel access to xapi database

[Jonathan Ludlam <Jonathan.Ludlam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi George,

What do you mean by 'fast sync'? Are you using the event.next api? And were you 
aware of the /json hack that's used for some web gui type things?

What's the concern with other_config? That's not abnormal XMLRPC encoding as 
far as I know. I agree that Last_boot_record stands out as being slightly odd, 
but it's really only intended for internal use.

Jon

Thank you.

We actually wish to have fast sync and XML-RPC seems be to bloated and 
have very strange issues with inner objects conversions (f.e. last_boot, 
other config and many others strings with format 'parse it yourself').

And we feel it can be really interesting to change some values of object 
unchangable via XenAPI, for example set every PV VM marked as 
'pv-drivers-up-to-date' (is this field have any meaning for PV guest?), 
change their limits without shutdown (they will take place at near 
reboot time) and many others.
