""""
This is thread that interacts with a VIM. It processes TASKs sequentially against a single VIM.
The tasks are stored at database in table vim_actions
The task content is (M: stored at memory, D: stored at database):
    MD  instance_action_id:  reference a global action over an instance-scenario: database instance_actions
    MD  task_index:     index number of the task. This together with the previous forms a unique key identifier
    MD  datacenter_vim_id:  should contain the uuid of the VIM managed by this thread
    MD  vim_id:     id of the vm,net,etc at VIM
    MD  action:     CREATE, DELETE, FIND
    MD  item:       database table name, can be instance_vms, instance_nets, TODO: datacenter_flavors, datacenter_images
    MD  item_id:    uuid of the referenced entry in the previous table
    MD  status:     SCHEDULED,BUILD,DONE,FAILED,SUPERSEDED
    MD  extra:      text with yaml format at database, dict at memory with:
            params:     list with the params to be sent to the VIM for CREATE or FIND. For DELETE the vim_id is taken from other related tasks
            find:       (only for CREATE tasks) if present it should FIND before creating and use if existing. Contains the FIND params
            depends_on: list with the 'task_index'es of tasks that must be completed before. e.g. a vm creation depends on a net creation
                        can contain an int (single index on the same instance-action) or str (compete action ID)
            sdn_net_id: used for net.
            tries:
            interfaces: used for VMs. Each key is the uuid of the instance_interfaces entry at database
                iface_id: uuid of intance_interfaces
                sdn_port_id:
                sdn_net_id:
            created_items: dictionary with extra elements created that need to be deleted. e.g. ports, volumes,...
            created:    False if the VIM element is not created by other actions, and it should not be deleted
            vim_status: VIM status of the element. Stored also at database in the instance_XXX
    M   depends:    dict with task_index(from depends_on) to task class
    M   params:     same as extra[params] but with the resolved dependencies
    M   vim_interfaces: similar to extra[interfaces] but with VIM information. Stored at database in the instance_XXX but not at vim_actions
    M   vim_info:   Detailed information of a vm,net from the VIM. Stored at database in the instance_XXX but not at vim_actions
    MD  error_msg:  descriptive text upon an error.Stored also at database instance_XXX
    MD  created_at: task creation time
    MD  modified_at: last task update time. On refresh it contains when this task need to be refreshed
