15:09:17 <abhijitkumbhare> #topic Merging OpenFlow Plugin & OpenFlow Java Library
15:11:59 <shuva> #info for developer it might be easy
15:12:16 <abhijitkumbhare> #info Is there any benefit to bring the 2 projects together or to keep them separate?
15:12:54 <shuva> #info but will be easier for ofjava verification jobs (~5mins) unlike ofplugin verification(~60min)
15:13:50 <shuva> #info it will be easier to plug-in of1.5 , we can either go for a new ofjava and create a new, more flexible pipeline
15:14:25 <shuva> #info also combining both might result in tight coupling and code dependencies that might be bad
15:14:41 <shuva> #info since coming back from that might be very difficult
15:15:03 <shuva> #info the advantages might not outweigh the disadvantages
15:15:24 <shuva> #info good to have different community and developer bases
15:16:55 <shuva> #info will stiil leave an oyside chance of having alternate designs for both
15:20:02 <shuva> #info huge advantage of having common models
15:22:10 <shuva> #info goal is to have smaller patchsets,
15:22:28 <abhijitkumbhare> #info shuva asks isn’t there an advantage of removing model translations?
15:22:45 <shuva> #info models toward ofjave will be private, models towards ofplugin are more public and mdsal aware
15:25:15 <shuva> #info so combining both might result in some diff to maintain and read
15:25:51 <shuva> #info abhijitKumbhare asks is it possible to create fast performing plugin
15:26:35 <shuva> #info it can be done if developers are free, but it will create code that cannot be merged back on to the master
15:27:16 <shuva> #info if we use ofjava models it will create version dependent api s and applications will be version-aware
15:43:44 <shuva> #info Abhijitkumbhare proposes to do s POC enhancing bulkomatic to see what the benefits could be
15:44:07 <shuva> #info reconciliation will still be a problem , but will deal with one at a time
15:44:25 <shuva> #info extensions might be a problem , but we will see as we go on
15:44:46 <shuva> #info abhijitkumbhare feels this would be a nice POC to venture into
