Comment 4 for bug 1619508

It's made for local testing only. Though, one could be trying out a test bed for openstack for say running downstream (or even upstream tests) where the DB load doesn't matter. For example, one could use it to test load on the configured glance_store backends rather than image listing.

In such a case, I was thinking we'd use memcached. But we'd be extra careful for setting memcached by default with simple api as that will make the functional tests setup slower.

So, first step looks like some docs, actually I was about to see if the configuration docs here [1] can be updated to have as section on the data access api. We could propose a lite spec for more resilient use of the simple api.

Anyone working on this actively? If so keep yourself assigned to the bug.
