<font size=2 face="sans-serif">There were some concerns expressed at the
summit about scheduler scalability in Nova, and a little recollection of
Boris' proposal to keep the needed state in memory. I also heard
one guy say that he thinks Nova does not really need a general SQL database,
that a NOSQL database with a bit of denormalization and/or client-maintained
secondary indices could suffice. Has that sort of thing been considered
before? What is the community's level of interest in exploring that?</font>
