Tempest-lib is the effort to break out useful pieces from the tempest repo so
that they have stable interfaces and can easily be consumed externally.
Right now it only has some basic functionality in it, but we are working on
expanding it more constantly. If there is a needed feature from inside the
tempest repo which is currently missing from the lib we can work together on
migrating it over faster.

These 3 things are really independent of tempest-lib. There more about how you
configure the test suite to be run. (in general and in the CI) Tempest-lib is
just a library which has the common functionality from tempest that is
generally useful outside of the tempest repo and won't help with how you
configure things to run.

But, if your tests are only interacting with things only through the API 1 and
2 should be as simple as pointing it at different endpoints.

This also is just a matter of how you setup and configure your test jobs and the
test suite. It would be the same pretty much wherever the tests end up. When you
get a test suite setup I can help with setting things up to make this simpler.

If you join the #openstack-qa channel on freenode and we can work through 
exactly
what you're trying to accomplish with a higher throughput.
