Improvevment of accessing to Glance API server

Registered by Noboru Arai

The goal of this blueprint is effective image data transfer in the case of a large scale deployment.

Nova can access to multiple Glance API Severs defined by "glance_api_servers"option, and the order of access is random.

In this blueprint, we would like to propose to change the order as follow:
 - Glance API Servers are categorized into two groups("Primary" and "Secondary").
 - Firstly, Nova tries to access Glance API Servers of "Primary" randomly.
 - If Nova failed to access all Glance API Servers of "Primary", Nova tries to access Glance API
   Servers of "Secondary" randomly.

The benefits will be the followings:
 - Nova can preferentially access Glance API Servers which is more "near" in a viewpoint of network.
 - Data transfer between different network address is reduced.
   (if network is divided into multiple network address)

    Improvement of accessing to Glance API server

This is probably something we should discuss on the openstack-dev mailing list. I'd really rather see enhancements to the service catalog and Nova's usage of the service catalog. If you start a thread on the mailing list, please include a link to the message from the list archives on the blueprint whiteboard. Thanks! --russellb
