Meeting summary
---------------

* status update  (colindixon, 20:03:18)
  * we’ve moved to the new data broker interfaces  (colindixon,
    20:04:17)
  * ACTION: evanz_ or djx to rename betterhosttracker to mdhostracker
    (at somet point)  (colindixon, 20:13:08)
  * LINK: https://github.com/nilok/betterhosttracker/ the current code
    just for posterity  (colindixon, 20:13:36)

* next steps  (colindixon, 20:14:07)
  * the next steps are basically to wire this up with something that
    will generate Addresses objects in the MD-SAL to cause our data
    change events  (colindixon, 20:16:13)
  * the l2switch project claims to have the address tracker working, I
    was just able to build the addresst tracker part at least
    (colindixon, 20:17:26)
  * if we import the l2switch, we get errors in betterhosttracker, I
    think this is because their pom file sucks and doesn’t list the yang
    generated source directories correclty  (colindixon, 20:28:05)
  * the l2switch project has a distribution, which should work for us,
    we’ll just need to copy in the two addresstracker jar files and the
    betterhosttracker jar files  (colindixon, 20:29:00)
  * just as a heads up, when runnign run.sh, you probably want to add
    -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m so “./run.sh -Xmx2048m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=512m” so that it doesn’t run out of memory
    (colindixon, 20:36:58)
  * LINK: https://gist.github.com/nilok/0005658677c71bb3a788
    (colindixon, 20:43:14)
  * we’re running into problems building and/or running the l2switch
    project  (colindixon, 21:04:26)
  * colindixon e-mailed the l2swtich team to ask for help with the fact
    that things aren’t compiling  (colindixon, 21:09:09)

* fallback plans  (colindixon, 21:10:10)
  * so, while we wait for them to fix the l2switch stuff, we could take
    the base distribution from openflowplugin and use it  (colindixon,
    21:10:40)
  * we’ll then need to copy in the address tracker jars, their
    dependencies and the host tracker jars  (colindixon, 21:10:59)
  * and see if we can get that to work and generate data change events
    (colindixon, 21:11:30)
  * I recommend using log.error() or system.out.println() messages to
    figure out if you’re code is hitting because the logging is often
    configured to only print error messages and above  (colindixon,
    21:12:14)
