Nikhil Manchanda 4a72d213aa Add unit tests for Trove specs
Add simple unit tests to the Trove specs repo which ensure that
specifications submitted follow the template correctly and address
all the needed sections.

Update tox to run these unit tests automatically.

At the beginning of each release, test_titles.py will need to be updated
and 'current_release' modified to reflect the new release directory.  At
the same time, the new release directory will be created, the index.rst
file in doc/source ammended to include this directory, and any unmerged
specs moved there.  In this way, changes to the template will only
affect specs going forward and avoids having to modify any specs that
have merged in previous releases.

(It will also have the side effect of signalling the 'opening' of the
release to new specs.)

=============================
MongoDB database management
=============================
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/trove/+spec/mongodb-database
Enable MongoDB database management functionality.
Problem Description
===================
The MongoDB datastore does not support database management features. Allowing
the user to create, list, and delete databases through the API is essential.
Proposed Change
===============
Three standard Trove commands will be enabled for MongoDB:
1. database-create
2. database-list
3. database-delete
The changes will be confined to the guestagent code. The taskmanager, API, and
conductor do not require any code changes. The code changes will be to
implement a new class service.MongoDBAdmin and the corresponding methods as
members of the class. The methods of manager.Manager will be updated to call
the admin functions.
Calls to MongoDB will be done in Python via the PyMongo library, which is
required to be pre-installed on the guest.
Configuration
-------------
No changes will be made to any configuration files.
Database
--------
No new items will be added here.
Public API
----------
No API changes.
Public API Security
-------------------
No API Security changes.
Python API
----------
None (empty section added after merging)
CLI (python-troveclient)
------------------------
None (empty section added after merging)
Internal API
------------
No Internal API changes.
Guest Agent
-----------
Modified files:
::
trove/guestagent/db/models.py - add a MongoDBSchema class.
trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/mongodb/manager.py - enable functions.
trove/guestagent/datastore/experimental/mongodb/service.py - add functions.
The Guest Agent will be changed to support the following manager functions:
1. create_database - MongoDB does not have a method to explicitly create a
database. The database to use is specified via 'use <dbname>', but this does
not create the database. Databases are created when a 'document' is first
inserted into them. To ensure a database is created, a dummy document will
be inserted but then deleted.
2. list_databases - Run 'pymongo.MongoClient.database_names()' and return the
resulting list.
3. delete_database - Drop the database with
'pymongo.MongoClient.drop_database("<dbname>")'. Users associated with the
database will have to be removed manually.
Alternatives
------------
create_database could not create a dummy object in the database.

Work Items
----------
The changes will be implemented in a single commit. The scope is small and the
functionality is linked.
Upgrade Implications
====================
There will be no upgrade implications.
Dependencies
============
There are no dependencies on other work in progress.
Testing
=======
Unit tests will be added to validate non-trivial code paths.
Integration tests may be added as needed.
Documentation Impact
====================
The MongoDB datastore documentation can be updated to reflect the enabled
features.
