Cluster N+1 solver

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

43
This program runs a very simple brute force algorithm over the instance
44
placement space in order to determine the shortest number of replace-disks
45
needed to fix the cluster. Note this means we won't get a balanced cluster,
46
just one that passes N+1 checks.

75
The ``hbal``, ``hspace`` and ``hn1`` programs can either get their
76
input from text files, or online from a cluster via RAPI. For online
77
collection via RAPI, the "-m" argument to both hn1 and hbal should
78
specify the cluster or master node name. ``hail`` uses the standard
79
iallocator API and thus doesn't need any special setup (just needs to
80
be installed in the right directory).

The ``hbal`` and ``hspace`` programs can either get their input from
64
text files, or online from a cluster via RAPI. For online collection
65
via RAPI, the "-m" argument to both hbal and hspace should specify the
66
cluster or master node name. ``hail`` uses the standard iallocator API
67
and thus doesn't need any special setup (just needs to be installed in
68
the right directory).

For generating the text files, a separate tool (``hscan``) is provided
83 71
to automate their gathering if RAPI is available, which is better
