The CachingScheduler has been deprecated since Pike [1]. It does not use the placement service and as more of nova relies on placement for managing resource allocations, maintaining compabitility for the CachingScheduler is exorbitant. The release note in this change goes into much more detail about why the FilterScheduler + Placement should be a sufficient replacement for the original justification for the CachingScheduler along with details on how to migrate from the CachingScheduler to the FilterScheduler. Since the [scheduler]/driver configuration option does allow loading out-of-tree drivers and the scheduler driver interface does have the USES_ALLOCATION_CANDIDATES variable, it is possible that there are drivers being used which are also not using the placement service. The release note also explains this but warns against it. However, as a result some existing functional tests, which were using the CachingScheduler, are updated to still test scheduling without allocations being created in the placement service. Over time we will likely remove the USES_ALLOCATION_CANDIDATES variable in the scheduler driver interface along with the compatibility code associated with it, but that is left for a later change.
