Open Stack

Thx Brian,

Sounds good. I will do my best to show-up.

>From looking at the commit @
https://github.com/flwang/glance/commit/f1c0a94fb7b1a829bfe1828c61abb8b2bd2
fb917#L4R265 there does seem to be quite a bit of similarity (which isn't
a bad thing, means we are just thinking on the same lines).
https://github.com/stackforge/taskflow/blob/master/taskflow/persistence/bac
kends/sqlalchemy/models.py#L147 looks a lot like the storage model in that
commit (even some of the same attributes, haha) ;)

Also if you are thinking that the distributed stuff might be overkill (idk
if it is for your use-case) taskflow can also be setup to just run the
tasks in your own backend without pulling in the celery components.

Jump on #openstack-state-management if u want to also :-)
