Bug Description

I launched an instance on a nova cloud, and it was unreachable.
Upon investigation of the console log, I found:
| cloud-init start-local running: Thu, 06 Oct 2011 19:57:29 +0000. up 4.02 seconds
| no instance data found in start-local
| ci-info: lo : 1 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

| cloud-init start running: Thu, 06 Oct 2011 19:57:29 +0000. up 4.24 seconds
| timed out
| no instance data found in start
| mountall: Event failed
| * Stopping Handle applying cloud-config^[[74G[ OK ]

After a reboot, investigation of cloud-init log showed:
| 2011-10-06 19:57:29,793 - DataSourceEc2.py[DEBUG]: Searching the following metadata urls: ['http://169.254.169.254']
| 2011-10-06 19:57:31,797 - __init__.py[DEBUG]: Did not find data source. searched classes: ['DataSourceNoCloudNet', 'DataSourceOVFNet', 'DataSourceEc2']

The 'Did not find' came from cloudinit/__init__.py, meaning DataSourceEc2.py returned.

The strange thing is that it seems DataSourceEc2 did not retry at all. I'm not sure why it would not. I believe that we're simply hitting a timeout on the Metadata service on the attempt to get instance-id. Previously (as seen in bug 745930) this would be handled and retried. The intent was that we would see a long series of retries. We've since added a 'timeout=timeout' where the value of timeout defaults to '2' to the urlopen call. It seems that for whatever reason, we're not catching that timeout and trying again.

I can reproduce this from inside this instance with the following program:
#!/usr/bin/python
import urllib2, sys, socket
def doget(iurl, timeout):
    reason = None
    try:
        req = urllib2.Request(iurl)
        resp = urllib2.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout)
    except urllib2.HTTPError as e:
        reason = "http error [%s]" % e.code
    except urllib2.URLError as e:
        reason = "url error [%s]" % e.reason
    except socket.timeout as e:
        reason = "socket timeout [%s]" % e
    if reason:
        print "Fail: %s" % reason

doget(sys.argv[1],float(sys.argv[2]))

I run it and see the following output:
$ ./test-timeout.py http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id 1
Fail: socket timeout [timed out]

It seams that urllib2 does not catch socket timeouts, so we'll have to add that catch, and I think we should probably up the default timeout.
