closedopenstack: more flexible resources hint
0%
Description
Exactly one OpenStack resources hint can be included in a given job, as part of an existing facet. It is error prone because it is sometimes not trivial to figure out how a given job is composed and if two resources hint are included only one of them will be taken into account which can lead to problems difficult to diagnose. Another undesirable side effect is to artificially increase resources usage. It is easier and more reliable (from the test maintainer point of view) to increase the resources of all jobs when a few need more RAM or disk rather than trying to figure where to write the hints so that they are used by these jobs and these jobs only.

marking as urgent because resources hint are currently added. The current way of doing it will lead to over provisioning and it will be very difficult to go back. With that fix, resources description can be closely associated to the facet that need it. Without it, resources descriptions are almost always set in a file that is only vaguely related to the facet that needs it.
