Glance

Enable mongo db as Glance database

Registered by Feilong Wang

Mongo db is an excellent NOSQL database. So it would be great if Glance can support it as backend database.

Whiteboard

I would like to see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/glance/+spec/refactoring-remove-authz-from-db first.

While I generally like the idea of this blueprint, I do wonder how much deployer interest there really is for it. I just wouldn't want to add this to the glance codebase without it being used. Is there any sort of survey of interest in using a mongo db api for glance?

Also, do you have any thoughts about how migrations would work if we weren't just using sqlalchemy as our one-and-only driver?
Thanks
