Boris Pavlovic cabe68f95c Add feature_request mechanism
This will be standart way for end users to ask Rally team to get
some new feature.

The idea is to make it realy simple for end users to ask about covering
their use cases.

E.g. to add request users don't need to deep dive in rally community,
road map and how it works. They need just to share their use cases
that is not covered by current rally functionality.

As a bonus adding some Readme.rst files related to doc/* dirs

Using multi scenarios to generate load

Use Case

Rally should be able to generate real life load. Simultaneously create load on different components of OpenStack, e.g. simultaneously booting VM, uploading image and listing users.

Problem Description

At the moment Rally is able to run only 1 scenario per benchmark. Scenario are quite specific (e.g. boot and delete VM for example) and can't actually generate real life load.

Writing a lot of specific benchmark scenarios that will produce more real life load will produce mess and a lot of duplication of code.

Possible solution

  • Extend Rally task benchmark configuration in such way to support passing multiple benchmark scenarios in singe benchmark context
  • Extend Rally task output format to support results of multiple scenarios in single benchmark separately.
  • Extend rally task plot2html and rally task detailed to show results separately for every scenario.
