Romain LE DISEZ 71f6fd025e Allows to configure the rsync modules where the replicators will send data 
Currently, the rsync module where the replicators send data is static. It
forbids administrators to set rsync configuration based on their current
deployment or needs.

As an example, the rsyncd configuration example encourages to set a connections
limit for the modules account, container and object. It permits to protect
devices from excessives parallels connections, because it would impact
performances.

On a server with many devices, it is tempting to increase this number
proportionally, but nothing guarantees that the distribution of the connections
will be balanced. In the worst scenario, a single device can receive all the
connections, which is a severe impact on performances.

This commit adds a new option named 'rsync_module' to the *-replicator sections
of the *-server configuration file. This configuration variable can be
extrapolated with device attributes like ip, port, device, zone, ... by using
the format {NAME}. eg:
    rsync_module = {replication_ip}::object_{device}

With this configuration, an administrators can solve the problem of connections
distribution by creating one module per device in rsyncd configuration.

The default values are backward compatible:
    {replication_ip}::account
    {replication_ip}::container
    {replication_ip}::object

Option vm_test_mode is deprecated by this commit, but backward compatibility is
maintained. The option is only effective when rsync_module is not set. In that
case, {replication_port} is appended to the default value of rsync_module.

.SH NAME
.LP
.B container-server.conf
\- configuration file for the openstack-swift container server
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.B container-server.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This is the configuration file used by the container server and other container
background services, such as; replicator, updater, auditor and sync.
The configuration file follows the python-pastedeploy syntax. The file is divided
into sections, which are enclosed by square brackets. Each section will contain a
certain number of key/value parameters which are described later.
Any line that begins with a '#' symbol is ignored.
You can find more information about python-pastedeploy configuration format at
\fIhttp://pythonpaste.org/deploy/#config-format\fR
.SH GLOBAL SECTION
.PD 1
.RS 0
This is indicated by section named [DEFAULT]. Below are the parameters that
are acceptable within this section.
.IP "\fBbind_ip\fR"
IP address the container server should bind to. The default is 0.0.0.0 which will make
it bind to all available addresses.
.IP "\fBbind_port\fR"
TCP port the container server should bind to. The default is 6001.
.IP \fBbacklog\fR
TCP backlog. Maximum number of allowed pending connections. The default value is 4096.
.IP \fBworkers\fR
The number of pre-forked processes that will accept connections. Zero means
no fork. The default is auto which will make the server try to match the
number of effective cpu cores if python multiprocessing is available (included
with most python distributions >= 2.6) or fallback to one. It's worth noting
that individual workers will use many eventlet co-routines to service multiple
concurrent requests.
.IP \fBmax_clients\fR
Maximum number of clients one worker can process simultaneously (it will
actually accept(2) N + 1). Setting this to one (1) will only handle one request
at a time, without accepting another request concurrently. The default is 1024.
.IP \fBuser\fR
The system user that the container server will run as. The default is swift.
.IP \fBswift_dir\fR
Swift configuration directory. The default is /etc/swift.
.IP \fBdevices\fR
Parent directory or where devices are mounted. Default is /srv/node.
.IP \fBmount_check\fR
Whether or not check if the devices are mounted to prevent accidentally writing to
the root device. The default is set to true.
.IP \fBlog_name\fR
Label used when logging. The default is swift.
.IP \fBlog_facility\fR
Syslog log facility. The default is LOG_LOCAL0.
.IP \fBlog_level\fR
Logging level. The default is INFO.
.IP \fBlog_address\fR
Logging address. The default is /dev/log.

.SH PIPELINE SECTION
.PD 1
.RS 0
This is indicated by section name [pipeline:main]. Below are the parameters that
are acceptable within this section.
.IP "\fBpipeline\fR"
It is used when you need to apply a number of filters. It is a list of filters
ended by an application. The normal pipeline is "healthcheck
recon container-server".
.RE

.SH APP SECTION
.PD 1
.RS 0
This is indicated by section name [app:container-server]. Below are the parameters
that are acceptable within this section.
.IP "\fBuse\fR"
Entry point for paste.deploy for the container server. This is the reference to the installed python egg.
This is normally \fBegg:swift#container\fR.
.IP "\fBset log_name\fR

.IP "\fBset log_facility\fR
Syslog log facility. The default is LOG_LOCAL0.

.SH FILTER SECTION
.PD 1

Any section that has its name prefixed by "filter:" indicates a filter section.
Filters are used to specify configuration parameters for specific swift middlewares.
Below are the filters available and respective acceptable parameters.
.IP "\fB[filter:healthcheck]\fR"
.RE
.RS 3

Entry point for paste.deploy for the healthcheck middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg.
This is normally \fBegg:swift#healthcheck\fR.
.IP "\fBdisable_path\fR"
An optional filesystem path which, if present, will cause the healthcheck
URL to return "503 Service Unavailable" with a body of "DISABLED BY FILE".
.RE
.RS 0
.IP "\fB[filter:recon]\fR"
.RS 3
.IP "\fBuse\fR"
Entry point for paste.deploy for the recon middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg.
This is normally \fBegg:swift#recon\fR.
.IP "\fBrecon_cache_path\fR"
The recon_cache_path simply sets the directory where stats for a few items will be stored.
Depending on the method of deployment you may need to create this directory manually
