Schedule events in Opencast from the scheduler app

Mike Bamford requested to merge isssue-145-schedule-events-in-opencast into master

This PR implements the opencast.update_state(state) function. Specifically The current opencast events are retrieved and compared to the local events in the state and opencast events are created/updated/deleted such that they match the local events.

The PR is incomplete in the ways listed below. However, given the time constraints on this task, I thought it better to open what I've done so far to review while I continue to work on the remaining points:

  • The _create_opencast_event() isn't currently working (throws a 400). This maybe a subtlety in the aiohttp.FormData class or I may just have gotten the request slightly wrong. This is critical for the demo and any help with this will be appreciated.
  • The 'update event' api call is failing - so currently I'm deleting and recreating the event - which is far from ideal.
  • I haven't written any unit tests yet.
  • I'm not paging the retrieved opencast events (not critical for the demo)
  • It might be possible to create own metadata flavor and thus may be preferable to store our source_id there.
