Review request for cloudstack and edison su.


Description
-------

Backs NFS-based secondary storage with an S3-compatible object store. 
Periodically, a reaper thread synchronizes templates and ISOs stored on a NFS 
secondary storage mount with a configured S3 object store. It also pushes 
snapshots to the object store when they are created and downloads them in other 
zones on-demand. In addition to permitting the use of commodity or IaaS storage 
solutions for static assets, it provides a means of automatically synchronizing 
template and ISO assets across multiple zones.

For more information about the design of the patch, please see the design 
document 
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/S3-backed+Secondary+Storage).


This addresses bug CLOUDSTACK-509.

Testing
-------

I am submitting patch to begin the feedback process while we complete 
integration testing.  I have verified that it does not interfere with normal 
CloudStack operations when S3-backed Secondary Storage is disabled (the default 
setting) .  I have successfully tested operation of single zone template and 
ISO scenarios on devcloud described in the design document.  I am currently 
working through some issues in our multi-zone test environment to complete all 
scenarios described.  The following are the known deficiencies of the current 
implementation which I plan to correct in a subsequent patch:

   * Cross zone garbage collection: When a global asset is deleted from one 
zone's secondary storage, it is not deleted from the secondary storage of other 
zones which have downloaded it from the object store
   * S3 Configuration Update: The API only supports adding an object store 
configuration.  Users should be able to edit the access key, secret key, 
connection timeout. max error retries, and socket timeout.
   * Multi-threaded Uploads: Permit the upload of multiple assets to the object 
store simultaneously to decrease the propagation latency across all zones.
