Public bug reported:

We have a setup consisting of multiple cells with their own glance-api
servers. We have a global swift store that holds all the images, and we
are exploring having local stores to increase efficiency. This can be
done using image-locations in glance. (Thanks!)

However, currently it is not possible for each cell to specify their
custom ordering of image locations. The store_type location strategy
does not work because more than one cell can have the same type of
backend.

If this is made possible, each cell can return the closest location for
each glance image, and also do copy-on-write for local stores like RBD.
This can be achieved by having another location_strategy that orders
based on a ranking key in metadata.

Opening a bug but I'll like this classified as a wishlist. Comments and
suggestions are welcome!
