-Chance and Simple Scheduler are DEPRECATED.
-
-Chance and Simple scheduler implementation have been deprecated, as their
-functionality can be implemented using the FilterScheduler, here's how:
-
-If one would like to have scheduler randomly picks available back-end
-(like ChanceScheduler did), use FilterScheduler with following combination
-of filters and weighers.
-
-  scheduler_driver = cinder.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler
-  scheduler_default_filters = ['AvailabilityZoneFilter', 'CapacityFilter',
-                               'CapabilitiesFilter']
-  scheduler_default_weighers = 'ChanceWeigher'
-
-If one prefers the scheduler to pick up the back-end has most available
-space that scheduler can see (like SimpleScheduler did), use following
-combination of filters and weighers with FilterScheduler.
-
-  scheduler_driver = cinder.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler
-  scheduler_default_filters = ['AvailabilityZoneFilter', 'CapacityFilter',
-                               'CapabilitiesFilter']
-  scheduler_default_weighers = 'AllocatedCapacityWeigher'
-  allocated_capacity_weight_multiplier = -1.0
-
-Setting/leaving configure option
-'scheduler_driver=cinder.scheduler.chance.ChanceScheduler' or
-'scheduler_driver=cinder.scheduler.simple.SimpleScheduler' in cinder.conf
-works exactly the same as described above since scheduler manager has been
-updated to do the trick internally/transparently for users.
-
-With that, FilterScheduler behaves mostly the same as Chance/SimpleScheduler,
-with additional benefits of supporting volume types, volume encryption, QoS.
