uploading an image to glance in parallel mode

Registered by Reynolds Chin

The goal of parallel-upload is to increase the uploading speed of images, from client to glance server.

This scenario can be thought of parallel-download(software such as axel and etc) in reverse.
Simple idea, but difficult to implement based on the current API design.

It can be done by pure socket implementation which independent from httplib. Massive discussion is needed.

Whiteboard

Is this looking in increase speeds of upload/download over a LAN or WAN? Typically parallel TCP connections show good performance increases over a wide area. I think that this idea dove tails into the idea of allowing image transfers to occur over protocols other than HTTP.
