#opendaylight-meeting: kernel projects

Meeting summary

1. agenda bashing (rgoulding, 16:00:59)
   1. odlparent 3.0 release timing (rgoulding, 16:13:52)
   2. merged/pending patchs (rgoulding, 16:13:58)
   
   
2. odlparent 3.0 release timing (rgoulding, 16:14:04)
   1. yangtools 2.0.0 is getting there, and adjustment patches in controller/mdsal are getting done. will still require changees as yangtools is still changing (rgoulding, 16:14:45)
   2. and odlparent release will need to be planned for htis, and yangtools will likely start pulling in the snapshot version (rgoulding, 16:15:07)
   3. two big ticket items are karaf 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 (which gives us the ability to use version ranges) (rgoulding, 16:15:36)
   4. there will be netty api breakages (rgoulding, 16:16:18)
   5. release of karaf 4.1.3 should happen anytime now (upstream controlled) (rgoulding, 16:16:39)
   6. akka might also be a candidate but it is fine if we miss it (rgoulding, 16:17:19)
   
   
3. FindBugs discussion (rgoulding, 16:32:17)
   1. enabling static analysis tooling for null checking like FB or spotcheck (rgoulding, 16:32:31)
   2. the alternative is to eliminate use of null (using guava and things like Optional instead) (rgoulding, 16:32:48)
   3. we need to centralize on some static analysis tools at some point (rgoulding, 16:33:13)
   4. can still return null for Optional (BAD!) but it can happen. This is something static analysis can pick up and warn us about (rgoulding, 16:34:19)
   5. https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/64816/5/yang/yang-model-api/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/yangtools/yang/model/api/DataNodeContainer.java (rovarga_, 16:34:43)
   6. in the above patch, new code should use the new method (findDataChildByName “find” similar to guava naming convention) (rgoulding, 16:35:30)
   7. that way you can get compatibility and also deprecation warnings around the old method (“getDataChildByName") (rgoulding, 16:35:47)
   8. ACTION: take the Annotation discussion to the mailing list (rgoulding, 16:37:28)
   9. may need instruction material on how to enable this in other IDE(s) aside from Eclipse (rgoulding, 16:37:47)
   10. the issue is that findbugs isn’t really actively maintained and spotbugs we have more active upstream community (rgoulding, 16:39:14)
   11. should be the same code base with new fixes on top (rgoulding, 16:40:13)
   
   
4. Member fails to rejoin cluster after it is quarantined (rgoulding, 16:49:10)
   1. https://jira.opendaylight.org/browse/CONTROLLER-1783 (rgoulding, 16:49:11)
   2. https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/62451/ (rgoulding, 16:56:03)
   3. ACTION: LuisGomez to add log of after the stop in Oxygen or Nitrogen (rgoulding, 16:56:44)
   4. fix for karaf restart: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/64971 (rovarga_, 16:58:54)
   5. wasn’t in Nitrogen so shouldn’t need to block SR1 for that (rgoulding, 16:59:45)
