 Suppose I have 20 compute hosts and there is tie among 5 hosts after "Filtering and Weighing" algorithm. In this case how does nova-schedular act?

In Ocata, I think this is done by this code line:

chosen_host = random.choice(weighed_hosts)

It should be clear what this line does. But of course, there is no guarantee that Pike will be the same.

At this moment it is, but nova is changing the placement/scheduler/cells behaviour. But this last host election is likely to remain as it is for a while. Chose a random node if more than one have the same weight
