Title: Provide a ranking mechanism for glance-api to order locations Status in Glance: Fix Released Bug description: We have a setup consisting of multiple cells with their own glance-api servers. We have a global swift store that holds all the images, and we are exploring having local stores to increase efficiency. This can be done using image-locations in glance. (Thanks!) However, currently it is not possible for each cell to specify their custom ordering of image locations. The store_type location strategy does not work because more than one cell can have the same type of backend. If this is made possible, each cell can return the closest location for each glance image, and also do copy-on-write for local stores like RBD. This can be achieved by having another location_strategy that orders based on a ranking key in metadata. Opening a bug but I'll like this classified as a wishlist.
