Roman Podoliaka 1b5f9f8203 Optional separate database for placement API
If 'connection' is set in the 'placement_database' conf group use
that as the connection URL for the placement database. Otherwise if
it is None, the default, then use the entire api_database conf group
to configure a database connection.

This works by:

* adding a 'placement sync' and 'placement version' command to
  nova-manage

* adding placement_migrations that that sync will run

* adding a placement_database config group with the relevant
  database configuration settings

* adding a placement_context_manager. If
  CONF.placement_database.connection is None this is the same as
  the api_context_manager, otherwise it is a new one from its own config

* adjust nova/tests/fixtures to be aware of a 'placement' database
  and the placement_context_manager

This version of this change differs from others by not requiring
separate placement commands for migration, instead using existing
tooling, which makes the size of the change a bit smaller and also
addresses problems with the test fixtures needing to be too aware of
what migration code to run. Now it runs the same code.

This functionality is being provided to allow deployers to choose
between establishing a new database now or requiring a migration
later. The default is migration later.

This is a modification of Id93cb93a0f4e8667c8e7848aa8cff1d994c2c364
and I3290e26d0a212911f8ef386418b9fa08c685380b.

OpenStack Nova README

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.

Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

http://docs.openstack.org

For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:

https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova

Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:

http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst file.
