Dan Smith 91e29079a0 Change consecutive build failure limit to a weigher
There is concern over the ability for compute nodes to reasonably
determine which events should count against its consecutive build
failures. Since the compute may erronenously disable itself in
response to mundane or otherwise intentional user-triggered events,
this patch adds a scheduler weigher that considers the build failure
counter and can negatively weigh hosts with recent failures. This
avoids taking computes fully out of rotation, rather treating them as
less likely to be picked for a subsequent scheduling
operation.

This introduces a new conf option to control this weight. The default
is set high to maintain the existing behavior of picking nodes that
are not experiencing high failure rates, and resetting the counter as
soon as a single successful build occurs. This is minimal visible
change from the existing behavior with default configuration.

The rationale behind the default value for this weigher comes from the
values likely to be generated by its peer weighers. The RAM and Disk
weighers will increase the score by number of available megabytes of
memory (range in thousands) and disk (range in millions). The default
value of 1000000 for the build failure weigher will cause competing
nodes with similar amounts of available disk and a small (less than ten)
number of failures to become less desirable than those without, even
with many terabytes of available disk.

OpenStack Nova

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

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

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:

Developers

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

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:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
