With the removal of 'CachingScheduler' in Stein (19.0.0), the 'FilterScheduler' is the only in-tree scheduler provided by nova. The removal of the caching scheduler was motivated in good part because "more and more functionality within nova [now] relies on managing (sometimes complex) resource allocations in the placement service". This same argument applies for out-of-tree drivers. It's unlikely that there are users with out-of-tree drivers that have good placement integration and significantly outperform the default filter scheduler. As a result, it's probably time to close this extension point in favour of continued improvements on the filter scheduler and placement along with custom filters and weighters for the filter scheduler.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
