Move to oslo_db

Replace the trove.db.sqlalchemy package with the oslo_db library.

Launchpad Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/trove/+spec/move-to-oslo-db

Problem Description

The current code uses the outdated incubator package for database connectivity. The old package has some bugs such as not handling concurrent threads correctly. This is a good opportunity to migrate to the oslo_db library, replacing the trove.db.sqlalchemy package.

A similar move has been done by other OS projects such as nova¹.

Proposed Change

oslo_db is a library that handles the common database connection and controls. Change the trove.db.sqlalchemy engine and session handling to use the oslo_db library. This transparently handles connections and sessions, and protects against mismanaged connections in Trove's threaded environment.

The only external effect will be the exposure of oslo_db configuration options.

Configuration

Add the configuration options for oslo_db to the [database] section².

Database

The database connection is the only change. Data models and queries are not affected.
