Chris Dent c00d043376 Spec for nested magic 1
This is a spec for several nested features which has been split
off from the original spec for nested magic [1] in an effort to
not delay progress on these features while 'can_split' is being
discussed.

This spec describes a cluster of Placement API work to support several
interrelated use cases for Train around:

* Modeling complex trees such as NUMA layouts, multiple devices,
  networks.
* Requesting affinity (in the NUMA sense) between/among the various
  providers/allocations in allocation candidates against such layouts.
* Describing granular groups more richly to facilitate the above.
* Requesting candidates based on traits/aggregates that are not
  necessarily associated with resources.

In particular, it describes the new GET /allocation_candidates
features:

* arbitrary group suffixes
* same_subtree query parameter
* resourceless request groups
* root_required, root_member_of

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:
