Open Stack

Hi all,

I'd like to ask for a feature freeze exception for the HBase storage
driver for Ceilometer, based on the following blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/hbase-storage-backend

The code to implement this driver is under review at present, pending a
small fix to line up with the latest changes to the API
(get_meter_statistics taking "period" parameter). It is going to be a
functional release supporting HBase versions 0.92-0.94. It is a very low
risk commit since the driver is a standalone extension and will not
break any of the other Openstack/Ceilometer components.

It is important to us to have this in the Grizzly release because this
will allow it to be more easily kept up to date with Ceilometer changes,
to be easily available to the community and to provide a base for new
features to be added when they are available in HBase, e.g. secondary
indexes.

Thanks,
Stas
