This commit moves the UI API calls from the pod manager to the Valence API, which will then forward requests to the pod manager. Currently it's just passing along direct requests, but as the API/controller service is fleshed out more functionality will be added to the UI using the Valence API.

$ ./install_valence.shCheck the values in valence.conf located at /etc/valence/valence.conf
set the ip/credentials of podm for which this Valence will interact
set the rabbitmq user/password to the one given above(Step 2)Check the values in /etc/init/valence-api.conf, /etc/init/valence-controller.conf
Start api and controller services
$ sudo service valence-api start
$ sudo service valence-controller startLogs are located at /var/logs/valence/
GUI installation
Please refer to the installation steps in the ui/README file.
Components
Valence follows the typical OpenStack project setup. The components are listed below:
valence-api
A pecan based daemon to expose Valence REST APIs. The api service communicates to the controller through AMQP.
valence-controller --------------The controller implements all the handlers for Plasma-api. It reads requests from the AMQP queue, process it and send the reponse back to the caller.
valence-ui --------valence-ui provides a GUI interface to invoke Valence APIs.
