Hi All,

I noticed the nova DB has reservations table with an expire field (+24h) and a periodic task
in the scheduler (60 sec) for expire the otherwise not deleted records [2].

Both the table and the observed operations are strange.

What this table and its operations are trying to solve ?
Why does it needed ? 
Why this solution was chosen ?

PS.: 
Is the uuid in the table referenced by anything?
