[Engine-devel] fake VDSM as oVirt project?

[Tomas Jelinek]

Hi all,

some time ago Libor Spevak created a simple web app called vdsm fake:
documented: http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM_Fake
published: https://github.com/lspevak/ovirt-vdsmfake

It is basically a simple hackable java web application which can emulate the VDSM so you can connect the 
engine to it. It is especially useful for:
- having tons of cheap fake hosts on one machine to stress your engine
- doing some experiments with VDSM API (e.g. vfeenstr proposes a new VDSM API to lower the network traffic between 
  engine <-> VDSM and uses the vdsm fake to implement it and do some tests to get some numbers on how does this change the things)

Omer came up with an idea of making this app as one of oVirt's project (http://www.ovirt.org/Subprojects) maybe with repository on 
oVirt's gerrit making it more accessible for getting/contributing for the whole community.

What do you think about it?
