Open Stack

Hi,
I started to do the work – https://review.openstack.org/#/c/65691/. From the comments on the review it did not seem the right way to go. So I gave up on it. Sorry to not have updated. I personally think that the scheduler should use objects, the reason for this is as follows:

 1.  One of the aims of the objects is to enable seamless upgrades. If we have this in the gannet, that starts with using only the nova database then we can upgrade to using another database. The object interface will do the translations
 2.  We may be able to leverage objects to interface with different types of services. That will enable us to provide cross service features far quicker.

Thanks
Gary

Subject: [Nova][Scheduler] Will the Scheuler use Nova Objects?

Hi,

I have heard a couple of conflicting comments about the scheduler and nova objects that I would like to clear up. In one scheduler/gantt meeting, Gary Kotton offered to convert the scheduler to use Nova objects. In another I heard that with the creation of Gantt, the scheduler would avoid using any Nova specific features including Nova objects.

I can see that these things are evolving at the same time, so it makes sense that plans or opinions might change. But I am at a point where it would be nice to know.

Which way should this go?

Paul.
