Remove cells v1 (for the most part) from the docs
As discussed in the mailing list [1] since cells v1 has been deprecated since Pike and the biggest user of it (CERN as far as we know) moved to cells v2 in Queens, we can start rolling back the cells v1 specific documentation to avoid confusing people new to nova about what cells is and making them understand there was an optional v1. There are still a few mentions of cells v1 left in here for things like adding a new cell which need to be re-written and for that I've left a todo. Users can still get at cells v1 specific docs from published stable branches and/or rebuilding the docs from before this change.

-Cells (v1)
-==========
-
-.. warning::
-
- Configuring and implementing Cells v1 is not recommended for new deployments
- of the Compute service (nova). Cells v2 replaces cells v1, and v2 is
- required to install or upgrade the Compute service to the 15.0.0 Ocata
- release. More information on cells v2 can be found in :doc:`/user/cells`.
-
-`Cells` functionality enables you to scale an OpenStack Compute cloud in a more
-distributed fashion without having to use complicated technologies like
-database and message queue clustering. It supports very large deployments.
-
-When this functionality is enabled, the hosts in an OpenStack Compute cloud are
-partitioned into groups called cells. Cells are configured as a tree. The
-top-level cell should have a host that runs a ``nova-api`` service, but no
-``nova-compute`` services. Each child cell should run all of the typical
-``nova-*`` services in a regular Compute cloud except for ``nova-api``. You can
-think of cells as a normal Compute deployment in that each cell has its own
-database server and message queue broker.
-
-The ``nova-cells`` service handles communication between cells and selects
-cells for new instances. This service is required for every cell. Communication
-between cells is pluggable, and currently the only option is communication
-through RPC.
-
-Cells scheduling is separate from host scheduling. ``nova-cells`` first picks
-a cell. Once a cell is selected and the new build request reaches its
-``nova-cells`` service, it is sent over to the host scheduler in that cell and
-the build proceeds as it would have without cells.
-
-Cell configuration options
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. todo:: This is duplication. We should be able to use the
- oslo.config.sphinxext module to generate this for us
-
-Cells are disabled by default. All cell-related configuration options appear in
-the ``[cells]`` section in ``nova.conf``. The following cell-related options
-are currently supported:
-
-``enable``
- Set to ``True`` to turn on cell functionality. Default is ``false``.
-
-``name``
- Name of the current cell. Must be unique for each cell.
-
-``capabilities``
- List of arbitrary ``key=value`` pairs defining capabilities of the current
- cell. Values include ``hypervisor=xenserver;kvm,os=linux;windows``.
-
-``call_timeout``
- How long in seconds to wait for replies from calls between cells.
-
-``scheduler_filter_classes``
- Filter classes that the cells scheduler should use. By default, uses
- ``nova.cells.filters.all_filters`` to map to all cells filters included with
- Compute.
-
-``scheduler_weight_classes``
- Weight classes that the scheduler for cells uses. By default, uses
- ``nova.cells.weights.all_weighers`` to map to all cells weight algorithms
- included with Compute.
-
-``ram_weight_multiplier``
- Multiplier used to weight RAM. Negative numbers indicate that Compute should
- stack VMs on one host instead of spreading out new VMs to more hosts in the
- cell. The default value is 10.0.
-
-Configure the API (top-level) cell
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The cell type must be changed in the API cell so that requests can be proxied
-through ``nova-cells`` down to the correct cell properly. Edit the
-``nova.conf`` file in the API cell, and specify ``api`` in the ``cell_type``
-key:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
- [DEFAULT]
- compute_api_class=nova.compute.cells_api.ComputeCellsAPI
- # ...
-
- [cells]
- cell_type= api
-
-Configure the child cells
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Edit the ``nova.conf`` file in the child cells, and specify ``compute`` in the
-``cell_type`` key:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
- [DEFAULT]
- # Disable quota checking in child cells. Let API cell do it exclusively.
- quota_driver=nova.quota.NoopQuotaDriver
-
- [cells]
- cell_type = compute
-
-Configure the database in each cell
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Before bringing the services online, the database in each cell needs to be
-configured with information about related cells. In particular, the API cell
-needs to know about its immediate children, and the child cells must know about
-their immediate agents. The information needed is the ``RabbitMQ`` server
-credentials for the particular cell.
-
-Use the :command:`nova-manage cell create` command to add this information to
-the database in each cell:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- # nova-manage cell create -h
- usage: nova-manage cell create [-h] [--name <name>]
- [--cell_type <parent|api|child|compute>]
- [--username <username>] [--password <password>]
- [--broker_hosts <broker_hosts>]
- [--hostname <hostname>] [--port <number>]
- [--virtual_host <virtual_host>]
- [--woffset <float>] [--wscale <float>]
-
- optional arguments:
- -h, --help show this help message and exit
- --name <name> Name for the new cell
- --cell_type <parent|api|child|compute>
- Whether the cell is parent/api or child/compute
- --username <username>
- Username for the message broker in this cell
- --password <password>
- Password for the message broker in this cell
- --broker_hosts <broker_hosts>
- Comma separated list of message brokers in this cell.
- Each Broker is specified as hostname:port with both
- mandatory. This option overrides the --hostname and
- --port options (if provided).
- --hostname <hostname>
- Address of the message broker in this cell
- --port <number> Port number of the message broker in this cell
- --virtual_host <virtual_host>
- The virtual host of the message broker in this cell
- --woffset <float>
- --wscale <float>
-
-As an example, assume an API cell named ``api`` and a child cell named
-``cell1``.
-
-Within the ``api`` cell, specify the following ``RabbitMQ`` server information:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
- rabbit_host=10.0.0.10
- rabbit_port=5672
- rabbit_username=api_user
- rabbit_password=api_passwd
- rabbit_virtual_host=api_vhost
-
-Within the ``cell1`` child cell, specify the following ``RabbitMQ`` server
-information:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
- rabbit_host=10.0.1.10
- rabbit_port=5673
- rabbit_username=cell1_user
- rabbit_password=cell1_passwd
- rabbit_virtual_host=cell1_vhost
-
-You can run this in the API cell as root:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- # nova-manage cell create --name cell1 --cell_type child \
- --username cell1_user --password cell1_passwd --hostname 10.0.1.10 \
- --port 5673 --virtual_host cell1_vhost --woffset 1.0 --wscale 1.0
-
-Repeat the previous steps for all child cells.
-
-In the child cell, run the following, as root:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- # nova-manage cell create --name api --cell_type parent \
- --username api_user --password api_passwd --hostname 10.0.0.10 \
- --port 5672 --virtual_host api_vhost --woffset 1.0 --wscale 1.0
-
-To customize the Compute cells, use the configuration option settings
-documented above.
-
-Cell scheduling configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To determine the best cell to use to launch a new instance, Compute uses a set
-of filters and weights defined in the ``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` file. The
-following options are available to prioritize cells for scheduling:
-
-``scheduler_filter_classes``
- List of filter classes. By default ``nova.cells.filters.all_filters``
- is specified, which maps to all cells filters included with Compute
- (see the section called :ref:`Filters <compute-scheduler-filters>`).
-
-``scheduler_weight_classes``
- List of weight classes. By default ``nova.cells.weights.all_weighers`` is
- specified, which maps to all cell weight algorithms included with Compute.
- The following modules are available:
-
- ``mute_child``
- Downgrades the likelihood of child cells being chosen for scheduling
- requests, which haven't sent capacity or capability updates in a while.
- Options include ``mute_weight_multiplier`` (multiplier for mute children;
- value should be negative).
-
- ``ram_by_instance_type``
- Select cells with the most RAM capacity for the instance type being
- requested. Because higher weights win, Compute returns the number of
- available units for the instance type requested. The
- ``ram_weight_multiplier`` option defaults to 10.0 that adds to the weight
- by a factor of 10.
-
- Use a negative number to stack VMs on one host instead of spreading
- out new VMs to more hosts in the cell.
-
- ``weight_offset``
- Allows modifying the database to weight a particular cell. You can use this
- when you want to disable a cell (for example, '0'), or to set a default
- cell by making its ``weight_offset`` very high (for example,
- ``999999999999999``). The highest weight will be the first cell to be
- scheduled for launching an instance.
-
-Additionally, the following options are available for the cell scheduler:
-
-``scheduler_retries``
- Specifies how many times the scheduler tries to launch a new instance when no
- cells are available (default=10).
-
-``scheduler_retry_delay``
- Specifies the delay (in seconds) between retries (default=2).
-
-As an admin user, you can also add a filter that directs builds to a particular
-cell. The ``policy.json`` file must have a line with
-``"cells_scheduler_filter:TargetCellFilter" : "is_admin:True"`` to let an admin
-user specify a scheduler hint to direct a build to a particular cell.
-
-Optional cell configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Cells store all inter-cell communication data, including user names and
-passwords, in the database. Because the cells data is not updated very
-frequently, use the ``[cells]cells_config`` option to specify a JSON file to
-store cells data. With this configuration, the database is no longer consulted
-when reloading the cells data. The file must have columns present in the Cell
-model (excluding common database fields and the ``id`` column). You must
-specify the queue connection information through a ``transport_url`` field,
-instead of ``username``, ``password``, and so on.
-
-The ``transport_url`` has the following form::
-
- rabbit://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOSTNAME:PORT/VIRTUAL_HOST
-
-The scheme can only be ``rabbit``.
-
-The following sample shows this optional configuration:
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
- {
- "parent": {
- "name": "parent",
- "api_url": "http://api.example.com:8774",
- "transport_url": "rabbit://rabbit.example.com",

-========
-
-Historically, Nova has depended on a single logical database and message queue
-that all nodes depend on for communication and data persistence. This becomes
-an issue for deployers as scaling and providing fault tolerance for these
-systems is difficult.
-
-We have an experimental feature in Nova called "cells", hereafter referred to

-nodes into smaller groups, coupled with a database and queue. This seems to be

-implementation of it has issues for maintenance and correctness.

-
-.. deprecated:: 16.0.0
- Cells v1 is deprecated in favor of Cells v2 as of the 16.0.0 Pike release.
-
-Cells v1 is considered experimental and receives much less testing than the
-rest of Nova. For example, there is no job for testing cells v1 with Neutron.
-
-The priority for the core team is implementation of and migration to cells v2.
-Because of this, there are a few restrictions placed on cells v1:
-
-#. Cells v1 is in feature freeze. This means no new feature proposals for cells
- v1 will be accepted by the core team, which includes but is not limited to
- API parity, e.g. supporting virtual interface attach/detach with Neutron.
-#. Latent bugs caused by the cells v1 design will not be fixed, e.g.
- `bug 1489581 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1489581>`_. So if new
- tests are added to Tempest which trigger a latent bug in cells v1 it may not
- be fixed. However, regressions in working function should be tracked with
- bugs and fixed.
-#. Changes proposed to nova will not be automatically tested against a Cells v1
- environment. To manually trigger Cells v1 integration testing on a nova
- change in Gerrit, leave a review comment of "check experimental" and the
- *nova-cells-v1* job will run on it, but the job is non-voting, meaning if
- it fails it will not prevent the patch from being merged if approved by the
- core team.
-
-**Suffice it to say, new deployments of cells v1 are not encouraged.**
-
-The restrictions above are basically meant to prioritize effort and focus on
-getting cells v2 completed, and feature requests and hard to fix latent bugs
-detract from that effort. Further discussion on this can be found in the

-------------------------

-In reality, the proposed organization is nearly the same as what we currently
-have in cells today. A cell mostly consists of a database, queue, and set of
-compute nodes. The primary difference is that current cells require a
-nova-cells service that synchronizes information up and down from the top level

-time achieving feature and test parity with regular nova (because many things
-take an alternate path with cells) and why it's hard to understand what is
-going on (all the extra synchronization of data). The new proposed cellsv2
