Hi Zhangleiqiang,

So yes, there's a rough BP for this here: [1], and some of the folks from
the Trove team (pdmars on IRC) have actually started to dive into this.
 Last I checked with him there were some sticking points on the Nova side
but we should synch up with Paul, it's been a couple weeks since I've last
caught up with him.

Thanks,
John
