+====================================================
+Scale-out and pid support for Manage Service listing
+====================================================
+
+https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/heat-manage-service-list-scale-out
+
+Adds pagination, sorting and filtering capability to 'Manage service'
+listing feature. In addition, each engine will be reported with pid.
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+In a scale out environment, cloud provider start to run many heat-engines
+to serve the huge requests at the given point in time. Once many engines are
+started to run, 'Manage service' would help cloud provider to find out the
+currently running heat-engines and their status and they would expect to
+retrieve these engines details with pagination and want to search them for a
+given host on which engines are running, based on the status of them, etc.
+These functionalities are missing in the current release.
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+* Pagination :
+
+Add following parameters in REST API and heat CLI for enabling pagination
+for listing heat-engines as part of 'Manage Service' feature:
+
+   * marker: Starting heat-engine service id
+   * limit: Number of records from starting index (default=20)
+   * with_count: If True (default), then provide following counts in
+     response:
+     - count: Total number of heat-engines like defined in
+     https://github.com/openstack/api-wg/blob/master/guidelines/counting.rst
+
+* Sorting :
+
+Add following parameters in REST API and heat CLI for sorting heat-engine
+services in a given heat deployment:
+
+   * sort: List of service attributes in given priority sequence.
+     - Allowed attributes : created_at, updated_at, status, hostname
+     - Default key is created_at
+     - Default sorting direction is desc for created_at and updated_at and
+     for other allowed attributes, it will be asc.
+     - sort key value format to be aligned with API-WG
+     http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/api-wg/tree/guidelines/pagination_filter_sort.rst
+
+* Filtering :
+
+Add following parameters in REST API and heat CLI for filtering heat-engine
+services:
+
+   * hostname: List of heat-engines hostname
+   * status: List of heat-engines service status
+
+To support NOT condition, each of the list entry could be in the form of
+'[not:]entry' like 'not:FAILED'
+
+
+Affected Service REST API:
+``/v1/​{tenant_id}​/services?<above mentioned parameters as http query
+parameters>``
+Here, to provide the filtering parameters, 'filter' query parameter will be
+used with it's value similarly to --filters option used in CLI.
+
+Affected Heat CLI:
+(only shown the new parameters here)
+``heat service-list [-f <KEY1=VALUE1;KEY2=VALUE2...>]
+[-l <LIMIT>] [-m <ID>] [-s <KEY1:asc,KEY2,KEY3>]``
+
+Optional arguments:
+  -f <KEY1=VALUE1;KEY2=VALUE2...>, --filters <KEY1=VALUE1;KEY2=VALUE2...>
+  Filter parameters to apply on returned heat-engine services. This
+  can be specified multiple times, or once with
+  parameters separated by a semicolon.
+
+  -l <LIMIT>, --limit <LIMIT>
+  Limit the number of heat-engine services returned.
+  -m <ID>, --marker <ID>
+  Only return heat-engines that appear after the given ID.
+
+  -s <KEY1:asc,KEY2,KEY3>, --sort <KEY1:asc,KEY2,KEY3>
+  Sorting keys in the given precedence and sorting directions.
+
+* heat-engine PID:
+  In addition, When multiple heat-engines are running on a given host, it is
+  difficult to find out the process-id for a given heat-engine. This is
+  required during trouble shooting issues. So new field called 'pid' to be
+  added to Service model.
+
+* heat-manage service list:
+  Add the similar enhancement done in CLI, (this is required for admin, when
+  all heat-engines are down and heat service-list became in-capable.)
