Robert,

It is nice that community like idea of making one scheduler as a service.


But I saw in https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/icehouse-external-schedulersome
misleading about
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/no-db-scheduler

Approach no-db-scheduler is actually base step that allows us to make
scalable scheduler as a service without huge pain of changing too much in
current architecture: As I mention on HK summit, there are just few steps,
that should be implemented:

    1) Scheduler should store all data by self:
        1.1) Keep all data locally + mechanism that effectively sync all
schedulers
        1.2) new scheduler RPC method: update_host(host_name, namespace,
values)
     e.g. in this patchset https://review.openstack.org/#/c/45867/
     It is still WIP:
       During this week we are going to make final version:
             a) Garbage collector for sync mechanism
             b) Support of name spaces
             c) Support of sqlaclhemy backends (not only memcached)

    2) Cleanup Nova scheduler
    2.1) Remove compute_node tables
    2.2) Remove from db.api methods that returns state of hosts, and use
Scheduler

    3.a) Make Nova Scheduler as a separated service

    3.b) Call from cinder in "cinder" namespace  Scheduler Service
 update_host() method
    4) Move cinder scheduler rpc method to  scheduler service
    5) Remove Cinder Scheduler

    3.c) Call from malina in "malina" namespace  Scheduler Service
update_host() method
    4) Move malina scheduler rpc method to scheduler service
    5) Remove Malina Scheduler


I don't think that it is step backward as it was mentioned in etherpad..



Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic
