When gnocchi is enabled and database is in dispatcher list, things will get complicated, because such scenario api will consider Gnocchi is not enabled, so when user post sample with direct option, then such data only exist in ceilometer storage but will not be in Gnocchi, I think such result is acceptable, because the 'direct' word is explicit.

    Reject posting sample with direct=true if Gnocchi is enabled

    Gnocchi acts as a third party service which receives data via
    dispatcher, not a direct storage backend, we need to reject
    requests which attempt to post sample via direct way.
