Agree with Thierry.
Let's define requirements.
We are trying to solve HA not scale "infinitely" number of cinder instances running.
Thanks,
Arkady

I don't see those as different solutions from the point of view of
Cinder, they are different implementations to the same solution case,
using a DLM to lock resources.

We keep circling back to the fancy names like moths to a flame, when we
are still discussing whether we need or want a DLM for the solution. I
think we should stop doing that, we need to decide on the solution from
an abstract point of view (like you say, define the problem space) and
not get caught up on discussions of which one of those is best. If we
end up deciding to use a DLM, which is unlikely, then we can look into
available drivers in Tooz and if we are not convinced with the ones we
have (Redis, ZooKeeper, etc.) then we discuss which one we should be
using instead and just add it to Tooz.

Cheers,
Gorka.
