Flavio Percoco 36e63c9a45 Rename Marconi to Zaqar
This patch renames every package, file, match of Marconi in the codebase
to Zaqar *except* for the .gitreview file, which will have to be updated
*after* I8e587af588d9be0b5ebbab4b0f729b106a2ae537 lands.

Implements blueprint: project-rename

Running a local Zaqar server with MongoDB
-----------------------------------------
**Note:** These instructions are for running a local instance of Zaqar and
not all of these steps are required. It is assumed you have `MongoDB`_
installed and running.
1. From your home folder create the ``~/.zaqar`` folder and clone the repo::
$ cd
$ mkdir .zaqar
$ git clone https://github.com/openstack/zaqar.git
2. Copy the Zaqar config files to the directory ``~/.zaqar``::
$ cp zaqar/etc/zaqar.conf.sample ~/.zaqar/zaqar.conf
$ cp zaqar/etc/logging.conf.sample ~/.zaqar/logging.conf
3. Find ``[drivers]`` section in ``~/.zaqar/zaqar.conf``
and specify to use mongodb storage::
storage = mongodb
Then find the ``[drivers:storage:mongodb]`` section
and modify the URI to point to your local mongod instance::
uri = mongodb://$MONGODB_HOST:$MONGODB_PORT
By default, you will have::
uri = mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017
4. For logging, find the ``[DEFAULT]`` section in
``~/.zaqar/zaqar.conf`` and modify as desired::
log_file = server.log
5. Change directories back to your local copy of the repo::
$ cd zaqar
6. Run the following so you can see the results of any changes you
make to the code without having to reinstall the package each time::
$ pip install -e .
7. Start the Zaqar server with logging level set to INFO so you can see
the port on which the server is listening::
$ zaqar-server -v
8. Test out that Zaqar is working by creating a queue::
$ curl -i -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8888/v1/queues/samplequeue -H
"Content-type: application/json"
You should get an **HTTP 201** along with some headers that will look
similar to this::
HTTP/1.0 201 Created
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 15:34:37 GMT
Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.3
Content-Length: 0
Location: /v1/queues/samplequeue
Running tests
-------------
First install additional requirements::
pip install tox
And then run tests::
tox -e py27
