API to list supported scheduler hints
The Nova API for instance creation supports a scheduler_hints mechanism whereby the user can pass additional placement related information into the Nova scheduler.
The implementation of scheduler_hints lies (mostly) in the various scheduler filters, and the set of hints which are supported on any system therefore depends on the filters that have been configured (this could include non-standard filters). It is not currently possible for a user of the system to determine which hints are available. Hints that are not supported will be silently ignored by the scheduler
This API extension will make the list of supported hints available to users by querying each of the configured scheduler filters and weighting functions
