I'm sure this has been discussed I just couldn't find any reference to it, perhaps someone can point me to the discussion/rationale. Is there any reason why there needs to be another service to present a control-plane to storage? Obviously object storage is different as that is presenting a data-plane API but from a control-plane I'm confused why there needs to be another service, surely control-planes are pretty similar and the underlying networking issues for iSCSI would be similar for NFS/CIFS. Trove is looking to be a general purpose data container (control-plane) service for traditional RDBMS, NoSQL, KeyValue, etc., why is the Cinder API not suitable for providing a general purpose storage container (control-plane) service?
Creating separate services will complicate other services, e.g. Trove. Thoughts? _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
