Hi,

We would like to make a request for FFE for the Solver Scheduler work.  A lot 
of work has gone into it since Sep’13, and the first patch has gone through 
several iteration after some reviews.   The first patch - 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/46588/ introduces the main solver scheduler 
driver, and a reference solver implementation, and the subsequent patches that 
are already added provide the pluggable solver, and individual support for 
adding constraints, costs, etc.

First Patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/46588/
Second patch with enhanced support for pluggable constraints and costs: -  
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70654/
Subsequent patches add the constraints and the costs.
BP: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/solver-scheduler
Core sponsor:  Joe Gordon

John Garbutt expressed concerns in Blueprint whiteboard regarding the 
configuration values, existing filters,etc and I noticed that you have 
un-approved this BP.
John, I will discuss with you in detail over IRC.
But briefly,  the plan is not many new configuration values will be added, just 
the ones to specify the solver to use, and the pluggable constraints, and costs 
to use, with the weights for the costs. (these are mainly part of the second 
patch -
 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70654/ )

The plan is to gradually support the concepts for the existing filters as the 
constraints that are accepted by our Solver Scheduler.   Depending on the 
constraints and the costs chosen, the final scheduling will be done by solving 
the problem as an optimization problem.

Please reconsider this blueprint, and allow a FFE.

Thanks,
Yathi.
