Title:
  Caching metadata fails when using memcached

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) grizzly series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Value stored into the memorycache contains the 'nova.db' module
  itself. This is not an issue for the local implementation, but
  memcached needs a serialised version of the values.

  Trying to save the metadata value results in:

  The metadata request then fails completely. Complete faliure is
  addressed by bug 1160883, but the structure of metadata cache needs to
  be fixed too.
