Open Stack

Hi,

I'm looking at setting up nova cells using a json file to store the cell 
information 
(http://docs.openstack.org/havana/config-reference/content/section_compute-cells.html#cell-config-optional-json) 
which is supposed to replace using the db but strangely the api_url is 
needed for the json file approach but not for the db approach. I've 
confirmed that when creating the cell info with nova-manage the api_url 
column in the db is not set. Any idea whether the api_url in the json 
file is actually used ?

Assuming that the documentation is correct, the api_url is defined for 
each cell even though it appears that is should resolve to the same url 
for all cells (the nova-api-os-compute service in the api cell). Is that 
correct ?

I appreciate that cells is an experimental feature but it does seem 
broken when storing the cell info in a json file, as recommended, 
Bug#1313602.

Thanks
Liam
