+Service Clients Usage
+=====================
+
+Tests make requests against APIs using service clients. Service clients are
+specializations of the ``RestClient`` class. The service clients that cover the
+APIs exposed by a service should be grouped in a service clients module.
+A service clients module is python module where all service clients are
+defined. If major API versions are available, submodules should be defined,
+one for each version.
+
+The ``ClientsFactory`` class helps initializing all clients of a specific
+service client module from a set of shared parameters.
+
+The ``ServiceClients`` class provides a convenient way to get access to all
+available service clients initialized with a provided set of credentials.

 CONF object from tempest. This enables the plugin to add options to both
 existing sections and also create new configuration sections for new options.
 
+Service Clients
+---------------
+
+If a plugin defines a service client, it is beneficial for it to implement the
+``get_service_clients`` method in the plugin class. All service clients which
+are exposed via this interface will be automatically configured and be
+available in any instance of the service clients class, defined in
+``tempest.lib.services.clients.ServiceClients``. In case multiple plugins are
+installed, all service clients from all plugins will be registered, making it
+easy to write tests which rely on multiple APIs whose service clients are in
+different plugins.
+
+Example implementation of ``get_service_clients``::
+
+    def get_service_clients(self):
+        # Example implementation with two service clients
+        my_service1_config = config.service_client_config('my_service')
+        params_my_service1 = {
+            'name': 'my_service_v1',
+            'service_version': 'my_service.v1',
+            'module_path': 'plugin_tempest_tests.services.my_service.v1',
+            'client_names': ['API1Client', 'API2Client'],
+        }
+        params_my_service1.update(my_service_config)
+        my_service2_config = config.service_client_config('my_service')
+        params_my_service2 = {
+            'name': 'my_service_v2',
+            'service_version': 'my_service.v2',
+            'module_path': 'plugin_tempest_tests.services.my_service.v2',
+            'client_names': ['API1Client', 'API2Client'],
+        }
+        params_my_service2.update(my_service2_config)
+        return [params_my_service1, params_my_service2]
+
+Parameters:
+
+* **name**: Name of the attribute used to access the ``ClientsFactory`` from
+  the ``ServiceClients`` instance. See example below.
+* **service_version**: Tempest enforces a single implementation for each
+  service client. Available service clients are held in a ``ClientsRegistry``
+  singleton, and registered with ``service_version``, which means that
+  ``service_version`` must be unique and it should represent the service API
+  and version implemented by the service client.
+* **module_path**: Relative to the service client module, from the root of the
+  plugin.
+* **client_names**: Name of the classes that implement service clients in the
+  service clients module.
+
+Example usage of the the service clients in tests::
+
+   # my_creds is instance of tempest.lib.auth.Credentials
+   # identity_uri is v2 or v3 depending on the configuration
+   from tempest.lib.services import clients
+
+   my_clients = clients.ServiceClients(my_creds, identity_uri)
+   my_service1_api1_client = my_clients.my_service_v1.API1Client()
+   my_service2_api1_client = my_clients.my_service_v2.API1Client(my_args='any')
+
+Automatic configuration and registration of service clients imposes some extra
+constraints on the structure of the configuration options exposed by the
+plugin.
+
+First ``service_version`` should be in the format `service_config[.version]`.
+The `.version` part is optional, and should only be used if there are multiple
+versions of the same API available. The `service_config` must match the name of
+a configuration options group defined by the plugin. Different versions of one
+API must share the same configuration group.
+
+Second the configuration options group `service_config` must contain the
+following options:
+
+* `catalog_type`: corresponds to `service` in the catalog
+* `endpoint_type`
+
+The following options will be honoured if defined, but they are not mandatory,
+as they do not necessarily apply to all service clients.
+
+* `region`: default to identity.region
+* `build_timeout` : default to compute.build_timeout
+* `build_interval`: default to compute.build_interval
+
+Third the service client classes should inherit from ``RestClient``, should
+accept generic keyword arguments, and should pass those arguments to the
+``__init__`` method of ``RestClient``. Extra arguments can be added. For
+instance::
+
+   class MyAPIClient(rest_client.RestClient):
+
+    def __init__(self, auth_provider, service, region,
+                 my_arg, my_arg2=True, **kwargs):
+        super(MyAPIClient, self).__init__(
+            auth_provider, service, region, **kwargs)
+        self.my_arg = my_arg
+        self.my_args2 = my_arg
+
+Finally the service client should be structured in a python module, so that all
+service client classes are importable from it. Each major API version should
+have its own module.
+
+The following folder and module structure is recommended for a single major
+API version::
+
+    plugin_dir/
+      services/
+        __init__.py
+        client_api_1.py
+        client_api_2.py
+
+The content of __init__.py module should be::
+
+   from client_api_1.py import API1Client
+   from client_api_2.py import API2Client
+
+   __all__ = ['API1Client', 'API2Client']
+
+The following folder and module structure is recommended for multiple major
+API version::
+
+    plugin_dir/
+      services/
+        v1/
+           __init__.py
+           client_api_1.py
+           client_api_2.py
+        v2/
+           __init__.py
+           client_api_1.py
+           client_api_2.py
+
+The content each of __init__.py module under vN should be::
+
+   from client_api_1.py import API1Client
+   from client_api_2.py import API2Client
+
+   __all__ = ['API1Client', 'API2Client']

-"""Javelin is a tool for creating, verifying, and deleting a small set of
-resources in a declarative way.
-
-Javelin is meant to be used as a way to validate quickly that resources can
-survive an upgrade process.
-
-Authentication
---------------
-
-Javelin will be creating (and removing) users and tenants so it needs the admin
-credentials of your cloud to operate properly. The corresponding info can be
-given the usual way, either through CLI options or environment variables.
-
-You're probably familiar with these, but just in case::
-
-    +----------+------------------+----------------------+
-    | Param    | CLI              | Environment Variable |
-    +----------+------------------+----------------------+
-    | Username | --os-username    | OS_USERNAME          |
-    | Password | --os-password    | OS_PASSWORD          |
-    | Tenant   | --os-tenant-name | OS_TENANT_NAME       |
-    +----------+------------------+----------------------+
-
-
-Runtime Arguments
------------------
-
-**-m/--mode**: (Required) Has to be one of 'check', 'create' or 'destroy'. It
-indicates which actions javelin is going to perform.
-
-**-r/--resources**: (Required) The path to a YAML file describing the resources
-used by Javelin.
-
-**-d/--devstack-base**: (Required) The path to the devstack repo used to
-retrieve artefacts (like images) that will be referenced in the resource files.
-
-**-c/--config-file**: (Optional) The path to a valid Tempest config file
-describing your cloud. Javelin may use this to determine if certain services
-are enabled and modify its behavior accordingly.
-
-
-Resource file
--------------
-
-The resource file is a valid YAML file describing the resources that will be
-created, checked and destroyed by javelin. Here's a canonical example of a
-resource file::
-
-  tenants:
-    - javelin
-    - discuss
-
-  users:
-    - name: javelin
-      pass: gungnir
-      tenant: javelin
-    - name: javelin2
-      pass: gungnir2
-      tenant: discuss
-
-  # resources that we want to create
-  images:
-    - name: javelin_cirros
-      owner: javelin
-      file: cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-blank.img
-      disk_format: ami
-      container_format: ami
-      aki: cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-vmlinuz
-      ari: cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-initrd
-
-  servers:
-    - name: peltast
-      owner: javelin
-      flavor: m1.small
-      image: javelin_cirros
-      floating_ip_pool: public
-    - name: hoplite
-      owner: javelin
-      flavor: m1.medium
-      image: javelin_cirros
-
-
-An important piece of the resource definition is the *owner* field, which is
-the user (that we've created) that is the owner of that resource. All
-operations on that resource will happen as that regular user to ensure that
-admin level access does not mask issues.
-
-The check phase will act like a unit test, using well known assert methods to
-verify that the correct resources exist.

-        """Service Clients provider
-
-        Instantiate a `ServiceClients` object, from a set of credentials and an
-        identity URI. The identity version is inferred from the credentials
-        object. Optionally auth scope can be provided.
-
-        A few parameters can be given a value which is applied as default
-        for all service clients: region, dscv, ca_certs, trace_requests.
-
-        Parameters dscv, ca_certs and trace_requests all apply to the auth
-        provider as well as any service clients provided by this manager.
-
-        Any other client parameter must be set via client_parameters.
-        The list of available parameters is defined in the service clients
-        interfaces. For reference, most clients will accept 'region',
-        'service', 'endpoint_type', 'build_timeout' and 'build_interval', which
-        are all inherited from RestClient.
-
-        The `config` module in Tempest exposes an helper function
-        `service_client_config` that can be used to extract from configuration
-        a dictionary ready to be injected in kwargs.
-
-        Exceptions are:
-        - Token clients for 'identity' have a very different interface
-        - Volume client for 'volume' accepts 'default_volume_size'
-        - Servers client from 'compute' accepts 'enable_instance_password'
-
-        Examples:
-
-            >>> identity_params = config.service_client_config('identity')
-            >>> params = {
-            >>>     'identity': identity_params,
-            >>>     'compute': {'region': 'region2'}}
-            >>> manager = lib_manager.Manager(
-            >>>     my_creds, identity_uri, client_parameters=params)
-
-        :param credentials: An instance of `auth.Credentials`
-        :param identity_uri: URI of the identity API. This should be a
-                             mandatory parameter, and it will so soon.
-        :param region: Default value of region for service clients.
-        :param scope: default scope for tokens produced by the auth provider
-        :param disable_ssl_certificate_validation Applies to auth and to all
-                                                  service clients.
-        :param ca_certs Applies to auth and to all service clients.
-        :param trace_requests Applies to auth and to all service clients.
-        :param client_parameters Dictionary with parameters for service
-            clients. Keys of the dictionary are the service client service
-            name, as declared in `service_clients.available_modules()` except
-            for the version. Values are dictionaries of parameters that are
-            going to be passed to all clients in the service client module.
-
-        Examples:
-
-            >>> params_service_x = {'param_name': 'param_value'}
-            >>> client_parameters = { 'service_x': params_service_x }
