Title:
  module level init of db transation contexts cause failure under
  mod_wsgi on module reload

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) rocky series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========
  This is related to a downstream bug first reported 
here:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1630069 where in it was 
discovers that due to how
  triplo currently deploys the placemetn api under mod_wsgi

  when deployed under mod_wsgi if the wsgi application exits with an error it 
is reloaded
  back into the same python interperter instance. As a result of this behavior 
module level 
  variable have a longer lifetime then the lifetime of the application. when 
run under uwsgi
  when the application is reloaded it is reloaded in a new python interperter 
meaning 
  the lifetime of the module level variables is scoped to the life time of the 
application.

  As a result of the life time semantics of mod_wsgi the placment api and 
nova-api
  must assume that the wsgi applications init can be invoked multiple times on 
failure.
  The current use of the sqlalcamey enginefacade transaction_context is not 
reentrant
  resulting in a type error being raised on subsequet calls to configure when 
the wsgi
  application is reloaded. 

  
  Expected result
  ===============
  it should be possible to reload the nova and placement api wsgi application
  under mod_wsgi on failure 

  Actual result
  =============
