Flavio Percoco ecb058de33 User a more accurate max_delay for reconnects
In an HA deployment, a 60 seconds delay between reconnects can be quite
problematic. This patch changes the delay calculation by setting the max
delay to 5s and by changing the way it is increased.

Unfortunately, this is one of the places where both our main drivers are
not consistent. Rabbit's driver uses configuration parameters for this
whereas qpid's driver has never had one. However, I would prefer not
adding configuration paremeters to qpid's driver for the following
reasons:

    1. Most of OpenStack services depend on the messaging layer, hence
    they need it to be available. A 5s delay seems to be reasonable and
    I could argue the need of tune it further. Although so frequent
    reconnects can add load to the network, that wouldn't be the main
    issue if one of the brokers go down.
    2. We're trying to move away from configuration options towards using
    transport URL. This path is still not clear and I would
    prefer avoiding adding new options until we clear it out.

Closes-bug: #1281148

OpenStack Nova README

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.

Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

http://docs.openstack.org

For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:

http://github.com/openstack/nova

Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:

http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:

http://nova.openstack.org/

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst file.
