Only support sqlalchemy in Aodh

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/only-support-sqlalchemy-in-aodh

This change want to deprecate others storage backends (mongodb, hbase) except sql and remove them in future O* cycle, because sql is totally competent for alarm data and we don't need to maintain multiple storage backend.

Problem description

We support multiple storage drivers(habase, mongodb, sqlalchemy) in Ceilometer, that is mainly for the recording/query of performance based massive metric data. Aodh continue those drivers after alarming service splitting, but Aodh only has alarm related data which unlikely be a large number and sql can well meet the requirement.

Most of other projects in OpenStack only use sql as database. So we don't need to keep the hbase and mongodb support in Aodh. The advantages of removing the hbase and mongodb support are:

  • make the code of Aodh more clean that reduce the maintenance works of storage drivers and related tests.
  • focus on the functionality and avoid considering multiple drivers support if new features coming.

Proposed change

Deprecate mongodb/Hbase support firstly and remove them in future cycle.

In current cycle:

  • deprecate mongodb and Hbase storage support and log warning messages if config mongodb or Hbase as storage driver
  • add alarm data migration tool for migrating data from mongodb/Hbase to sql

In future O* cycle:

  • remove the mongodb storage implementation
  • remove the hbase storage implementation
  • remove the mongodb and hbase related tests
  • remove the gate jobs based on mongodb and hbase
