Boris Pavlovic 0a7f1c7914 Refactor generic cleanup mechanism part 3
Current cleanup mechanism is awful. It's hardcoded, without repeat on failures,
contains a lot of mistakes, in some places it is too fast (in case of deletion of VMs)
in other to slow (like deletion of users). As well there is mix of cleanup mechanism
and resource cleanup mechanism.
To resolve these all issues this patch introcude a cleanup engine that resolves all issues
above.
It's resource based, so to add new resouce you should just a make subclass of base.Resource
and probably override some of methods like (list, delete, is_deleted) and that's all.
All complexity of managing:
0) waiting until async deletion is finished
1) repeat on failure logic
2) greaceful failure handling
3) parallelization
4) plugin support
Is hidden deep inside cleanup engine
+ bonus we are able to specify now single resource (without clenaping whole service)

PART 3:
-------

*) Refactor all contexts cleanups method to use new generic cleanup engine
   insted of cleanup.utils
*) Remove obsolate cleanup.utils
*) Fix all tests

Production read cleanups

Use Case

Rally should delete in any case all resources that it created during benchmark.

Problem Description

  • (implemented) Deletion rate limit

    You can kill cloud by deleting too many objects simultaneously, so deletion rate limit is required

  • (implemented) Retry on failures

    There should be few attempts to delete resource in case of failures

  • (implemented) Log resources that failed to be deleted

    We should log warnings about all non deleted resources. This information should include UUID of resource, it's type and project.

  • (implemented) Pluggable

    It should be simple to add new cleanups adding just plugins somewhere.

  • Disaster recovery

    Rally should use special name patterns, to be able to delete resources in such case if something went wrong with server that is running rally. And you have just new instance (without old rally db) of rally on new server.
