Split openstack.common.db code into a separate oslo.db library

Do you have a plan for handling the config option issue? - dhellmann

There are several ways to solve the config option issue:

    I - Move lockutils and log out of incubation first.
In such case we must release oslo.lockutils and oslo.log first, and use these modules in all projects. (it’s going to take a long time...)
    II - Remove oslo.config options from openstack.common modules (and update all project as well). (seems to be very hard to do)
    III - Drop dependency on common log and lockutils modules.
Seems to be the simplest way, so we started to implement it.
There are patches, that remove common log usage from oslo.db

... and patches, that drop dependency on common lockutils

To clean up oslo.db code from eventlet - see mail list thread http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-December/020805.html

In a few fords - we use eventlet to wrap DB API method calls to be executed by tpool thread.
We can't just drop tpool support at all, so we should put the tpool wrapper class in a separate module which would be completely optional for users of the library.

oslo-db-core is set up in gerrit with viktors and oslo-core as members. If we have any other reviewers, they still need to be added. - dhellmann (2014-04-30)

I suppose, that we should also add Poman Podoliaka to oslo-db-core. -- viktors (2014-05-12)
