Meeting summary

  1. testing status update (tbachman, 20:07:23)
    1. Marcus started on some of the static analysis errors, will look into unit tests next (tbachman, 20:07:45)

    3. srini084 recommends reporting errors to the list (tbachman, 20:08:37)
    4. The errors come in eclipse builds, not CLI builds, mostly due to dependency errors (tbachman, 20:08:54)
    5. srini084 says that he’s mostly done CLI errors, and hasn’t used Eclipse (tbachman, 20:09:09)
    6. Recommendation is to use CLI for builds, but you can still use Eclipse for unit tests — may be maven to eclipse integration issue (tbachman, 20:09:56)
    7. Marcus notes that this works on the controller project, but not with the OVSDB project (tbachman, 20:10:15)
    8. A question was asked whether we should standardize on Intellij (tbachman, 20:10:58)
    9. flaviof says that there’s a fair number of users of Eclipse (tbachman, 20:11:19)
    10. flaviof asks if Marcus et. al. have created gerrit accounts, etc., b/c he hasn’t seen a commit from them yet (tbachman, 20:13:20)
    11. Marcus and team says they’re working on that — they have gerrit accounts (tbachman, 20:13:38)

    16. https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/ovsdb-dev/2014-October/000798.html email from shague describing how to use OpenStack integration (tbachman, 20:20:40)
    17. flaviof asks about moving of-extension to openflowplugin (tbachman, 20:22:40)
    18. srini084 says that they’re working towards that (tbachman, 20:22:57)
    19. flaviof says that using both the openflowplugin and OVSDB extension, so that they should just be able to move the import from OVSDB to openflowplugin (tbachman, 20:23:30)
    20. srini084 says the OVSDB team may just want to make this feature deprecated to allow dependent projects time to migrate (tbachman, 20:24:00)

    2. https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021 Current bug that flaviof is working on (tbachman, 20:25:13)
    3. current thinking is that the OVSDB project might be calling into the openflowplugin for the normal rule (tbachman, 20:25:48)
    4. srini084 says that there are some bugs filed by edwarnicke related to timing, which may be tricky to find (e.g. 2024) (tbachman, 20:27:37)
    5. https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2024 Bug discovered by edwarnicke (tbachman, 20:28:06)

  3. OVSDB plugin (tbachman, 20:29:35)

    3. srini084 says we need to change the plugin so that it stops using the deprecated APIs and starts using the new ones (tbachman, 20:34:12)
    4. flaviof asks if the notion of schema is on a per-node basis (tbachman, 20:34:29)
    5. srini084 says yes (tbachman, 20:34:34)
    6. srini084 says we can maybe take a walk thru using eclipse on this, and asks if flaviof and others could make a youtube for this (tbachman, 20:36:30)
    7. flaviof says he could do this on the L3 services (tbachman, 20:36:52)

    10. srini084 says that colindixon indicated that the split of the OVSDB project needs to be done by the M2 milestone (tbachman, 20:39:40)
    11. flaviof says that breaking the project into two pieces might be lower priority than cleaning up the existing project (tbachman, 20:40:52)
    12. srini084 says that breaking the project up may help people who are new to the project come up to speed faster (tbachman, 20:41:22)
    13. srini084 says that we’ll probably have more things coming from the OpenStack side as well (tbachman, 20:41:49)
    14. shague says that for the Lithium time frame, we should create a plan and decide whether it makes sense to do it in that time frame (tbachman, 20:42:26)
    15. srini084 asks if there are things on the TODO list that we need to discuss (tbachman, 20:43:33)
    16. eric asks if the pipeline of tables would be present in the HW VTEP schema case (tbachman, 20:45:25)
    17. srini084 says that we can’t replicate this on the HW VTEP, so the recommendation is to check what the schema supports (tbachman, 20:45:55)
    18. srini084 asks shague if there are any updates on the userspace data path (tbachman, 20:46:40)
    19. shague says he hasn’t run any tests on performance, no vxlan (tbachman, 20:46:55)
    20. shague asks if the Intel folks have a schedule to get the DPDK OVS fork merged with upstream OVS (tbachman, 20:48:39)
    21. eric multanen says that he’s not aware of the plan — the vxlan support, etc. should be there eventually (tbachman, 20:49:03)
    22. srini084 asks flaviof if he knows if there’s any udpate on HP’s openflowplugin (tbachman, 20:51:21)
    23. flaviof says he hasn’t heard from an HP person in weeks (tbachman, 20:51:30)
    24. shague says he believes they’ve backed off on that idea (tbachman, 20:51:47)
    25. eric multanen says they have a device driver proposal (tbachman, 20:52:01)

    27. shague says that this is for moving things to an MD-SAL infra - MD-SAL today is only used for creating an OVSDB node in the controller, and using the openflowplugin (tbachman, 20:53:40)
    28. flaviof asks if anyone has done integration tests with pax-exam (tbachman, 20:57:48)
