[openstack-dev] High failure rate for Nova Tempest suite

Sorry for top-posting...

We are aware of the issues and have put in several patches to tempest
that are now merged into tempest trunk. Several unrelated issues were
uncovered, some of which were "covering up" other issues which made
diagnosing failures difficult (especially considering the runtime for
the full tempest suite -- which tempest itself is gated on -- takes
45-90 minutes to complete).

Anyway, we are monitoring things very closely and believe we've fixed
the source of the erratic failures now.

We have the QA IRC meeting today in about 1.75 hours if you'd like to
pop into #openstack-meeting to discuss further.

Apologies for the delays and distractions.

Best,
-jay
