Bug Description
Description
===========
we are running a victoria openstack cluster (python3). and I observe that everytime when an openstack compute service list executed, nova-api will create a new connection to memcache. Actually there are several reasons to cause this behavior
1. when running natively with eventlet's wsgi server, everytime a new coroutine is created to host web request and this causes keystonemiddle auth_token which uses python-memcached to reconnect to memcahced all the time
2. os-services will trigger nova.availabili
3. python-memcached's Client is inheriting from threading.local which will be monkey_patched to use eventlet's implementation and thus for every co-routine context it will create a new connection
Steps to reproduce
==================
1. Patch def _get_socket and print connection
2. execute openstack compute service list
Expected result
===============
Maintain stable connections to memcached
Actual result
=============
Reconnects
Environment
===========
1. devstack victoria openstack
This is a valid performance improvement. Feel free to push a patch to implement it.
