Public bug reported:

The Keystone token flush job can get into a state where it will never
complete because the transaction size exceeds the mysql galara
transaction size - wsrep_max_ws_size (1073741824).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Authenticate many times
2. Observe that keystone token flush job runs (should be a very long time depending on disk) >20 hours in my environment
3. Observe errors in mysql.log indicating a transaction that is too large


Actual results:
Expired tokens are not actually flushed from the database without any errors in keystone.log.  Only errors appear in mysql.log.


Expected results:
Expired tokens to be removed from the database


Additional info:
It is likely that you can demonstrate this with less than 1 million tokens as the >1 million token table is larger than 13GiB and the max transaction size is 1GiB, my token bench-marking Browbeat job creates more than needed.  

Once the token flush job can not complete the token table will never
decrease in size and eventually the cloud will run out of disk space.

Furthermore the flush job will consume disk utilization resources.  This
was demonstrated on slow disks (Single 7.2K SATA disk).  On faster disks
you will have more capacity to generate tokens, you can then generate
the number of tokens to exceed the transaction size even faster.
