+Add db purge support
+--------------------
+
+:link: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/masakari/+spec/db-purge-support
+
+:problem: Masakari do not have any way to delete notification records from
+          notification database table. If there are large number of
+          notifications in the db, it's going to slow down db search.
+          Similarly we can purge records from other database tables.
+
+:solution: Add db purge support to masakari-manage command which will purge
+           the deleted/unused records from the database. As masakari do not
+           have delete notification api, notification records will be purged
+           on the basis of status and updated_at column. Notifications which
+           are in finished, ignored and failed status will be purged from the
+           notification table. For other tables records which are marked as
+           deleted will be purged from the tables. Two optional command line
+           configuration options 'age_in_days' defaults to 30 and 'max_rows'
+           defaults to -1 will be introduced to provide operator flexibility
+           in purging the records. -1 means purge command will remove all
+           records from tables which matches 'age_in_days' criteria. If
+           operator specifies 'max_rows' greater than 0 then those many records
+           will be purged from entire database (not per table) in one
+           operation.
+
+           For notification table as we do not have deleted_at value;
+           'age_in_days' will be calculated on the basis of updated_at value.
+           For example, if 'age_in_days' is mentioned as 10 while purging then
+           notifications which are having status finished,  ignored and failed
+           and updated before 10 days will be eligible for purging. For other
+           tables, records which were deleted before 10 days will be eligible
+           for purging.
+
+           Example:
+           $ masakari-manage db purge
+           This will purge all records from each table which are deleted or
+           updated before 30 days.
+
+           $ masakari-manage db purge --age_in_days 60
+           This will purge all records from each table which are deleted or
+           updated before 60 days.
+
+           $ masakari-manage db purge --max-rows 50
+           This will purge  total 50 records from entire database which are
+           deleted  or updated before 30 days.
+
+           $ masakari-manage db purge --age_in_days 60 --max-rows 50
+           This will purge 50 records from entire database which are deleted or
+           updated before 60 days.
+
+:alternatives: Add new delete_all api which will have status and age_in_days as
+               input parameters to delete the notifications. In this case user
+               can specify input notification status as either ignored, failed
+               or finished and based on age_in_days value those records will
+               be deleted from the notification table. For example if user
+               specifies status as 'finished' and age_in_days as 10 then
+               notifications which are having 'finished' status and updated
+               before 10 days will be deleted from the notification table.
+
+               Advantages:
+               1. Operator has flexibility to decide which notifications needs
+                  to be deleted from the notification table.
+
+               Disadvantages:
+               1. Only notification records will be deleted in this case,
+                  records from other tables will remain as it is.
+
+:impacts: None
+
+:timeline: Expected to be merged within the Pike time frame.
