default quota driver not suitable for production

[Robert Collins]

The default quota driver is conf file driven, which isn't particularly useful in non-trivial clouds.

Can we change the default to quantum.db.quota_db.DbQuotaDriver please?

(see also bug 1188651 which is the tripleo task we opened when we got told about the issue).

Interesting. I've relayed this bug to the mailing list to gather input from larger community.

The related patch has been abandoned for several weeks. Does this still have a chance of making it into Havana?

Hi Mark,

Same comment from Julie. Horizon quota update implementation at now assumes that this configuration becomes the default
configuration of quota extension in Havana release.

Otherwise, Horizon team will receive a bug report that "Create project" or "Update Project" operation always displays an error message quota update failed.

If it will not land in Havana, Horizon should disable editing of Neutron related quota or just ignore an error message in Neutron quota operations.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Enable Quota DB driver by default

    Closes-Bug: #1189671

    Quota driver is now loaded in lazy mode, i.e. the driver is loaded
    the first time the driver is accessed. This is to make unit tests
    work. Some unit tests like extension test cases need to use Config
    Quota driver (previous default) but QuotaEngine is initialized
    when quota.py is imported. Thus the unit tests had no chance to
    specify quota_driver.
