Hi, In the vmware_nsx code base we make use of tooz extensively and the results have been very good. Just depends on what type of backend you use ☺ We wrote a wrapper that enables the deployer to decide on what type of locking to use. This can be seen at: https://github.com/openstack/vmware-nsx/blob/master/vmware_nsx/common/locking.py#L27 Each project can decide on where to use DLM. It depends on each community.

Just wanted to know even though we have database locks to prevent concurrent updates and if applications are written well enough to handle STALE updates, does DLM is needed for openstack services like Heat or nova ??
