20:07:23 <tbachman> #topic testing status update
20:07:45 <tbachman> #info Marcus started on some of the static analysis errors, will look into unit tests next
20:08:21 <tbachman> #info There are some maven build dependency and build issues being reported
20:08:37 <tbachman> #info srini084 recommends reporting errors to the list
20:08:54 <tbachman> #info The errors come in eclipse builds, not CLI builds, mostly due to dependency errors
20:09:09 <tbachman> #info srini084 says that he’s mostly done CLI errors, and hasn’t used Eclipse
20:09:56 <tbachman> #info Recommendation is to use CLI for builds, but you can still use Eclipse for unit tests — may be maven to eclipse integration issue
20:10:15 <tbachman> #info Marcus notes that this works on the controller project, but not with the OVSDB project
20:10:58 <tbachman> #info A question was asked whether we should standardize on Intellij
20:11:19 <tbachman> #info flaviof says that there’s a fair number of users of Eclipse
20:13:20 <tbachman> #info flaviof asks if Marcus et. al. have created gerrit accounts, etc., b/c he hasn’t seen a commit from them yet
20:13:38 <tbachman> #info Marcus and team says they’re working on that — they have gerrit accounts
20:14:22 <tbachman> #info Question about running sonar behind firewalls — connection to the sonar server is being blocked by their firewall
20:14:32 <tbachman> #info shague says he runs a sonar server locally on his laptop
20:14:54 <tbachman> #info shague downloaded the sonar .zip file and ran that
20:15:10 <tbachman> #info Marcus asks if it’s possible to get the profiile file
20:17:42 <tbachman> Wasn’t there an email to the list on how to exclude setters/getters from unit tests?
20:17:48 <tbachman> (or rather, sonar coverage)
20:18:02 * tbachman was looking on ovsdb-dev but couldn’t find it
20:19:44 * tbachman stops hunting and returns to minute-taking
20:20:40 <tbachman> #link https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/ovsdb-dev/2014-October/000798.html email from shague describing how to use OpenStack integration
20:21:30 * tbachman needs to learn the IRC nic’s of some of these folks :)
20:22:19 <tbachman> #info flaviof asks about the gerrit from the openflow folks
20:22:31 <tbachman> #undo
20:22:31 <odl_meetbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.ircmeeting.items.Info object at 0x2641cd0>
20:22:40 <tbachman> #info flaviof asks about moving of-extension to openflowplugin
20:22:57 <tbachman> #info srini084 says that they’re working towards that
20:23:30 <tbachman> #info 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
20:24:00 <tbachman> #info srini084 says the OVSDB team may just want to make this feature deprecated to allow dependent projects time to migrate
20:24:22 <tbachman> #topic Bug Fixing
20:24:43 <tbachman> #info flaviof says that they’ve been able to knock down some bugs, and is currently on bug 2021
20:25:13 <tbachman> #link https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021 Current bug that flaviof is working on
20:25:48 <tbachman> #info current thinking is that the OVSDB project might be calling into the openflowplugin for the normal rule
20:27:37 <tbachman> #info srini084 says that there are some bugs filed by edwarnicke related to timing, which may be tricky to find (e.g. 2024)
20:28:06 <tbachman> #link https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2024 Bug discovered by edwarnicke
20:29:35 <tbachman> #topic OVSDB plugin
20:29:53 <tbachman> #info srini084 created a youtube video for a code walk-thru on the OVSDB plugin
20:30:27 <tbachman> #link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vACyoKdefRs YouTube video created by Srini on the plugin part of the OVSDB code
20:34:12 <tbachman> #info srini084 says we need to change the plugin so that it stops using the deprecated APIs and starts using the new ones
20:34:29 <tbachman> #info flaviof asks if the notion of schema is on a per-node basis
20:34:34 <tbachman> #info srini084 says yes
20:36:30 <tbachman> #info 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
20:36:52 <tbachman> #info flaviof says he could do this on the L3 services
20:38:13 <tbachman> #info srini084 asks if there’s a way we can figure out what other projects are using the OVSDB plugin
20:38:47 <tbachman> #action srini084 to email the controller list asking who’s using the plugin, and look at the dependency chart
20:39:40 <tbachman> #info srini084 says that colindixon indicated that the split of the OVSDB project needs to be done by the M2 milestone
20:40:52 <tbachman> #info flaviof says that breaking the project into two pieces might be lower priority than cleaning up the existing project
20:41:22 <tbachman> #info srini084 says that breaking the project up may help people who are new to the project come up to speed faster
20:41:49 <tbachman> #info srini084 says that we’ll probably have more things coming from the OpenStack side as well
20:42:26 <tbachman> #info 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
20:43:33 <tbachman> #info srini084 asks if there are things on the TODO list that we need to discuss
20:45:25 <tbachman> #info eric asks if the pipeline of tables would be present in the HW VTEP schema case
20:45:55 <tbachman> #info srini084 says that we can’t replicate this on the HW VTEP, so the recommendation is to check what the schema supports
20:46:40 <tbachman> #info srini084 asks shague if there are any updates on the userspace data path
20:46:55 <tbachman> #info shague says he hasn’t run any tests on performance, no vxlan
20:48:39 <tbachman> #info shague asks if the Intel folks have a schedule to get the DPDK OVS fork merged with upstream OVS
20:49:03 <tbachman> #info eric multanen says that he’s not aware of the plan — the vxlan support, etc. should be there eventually
20:51:21 <tbachman> #info srini084 asks flaviof if he knows if there’s any udpate on HP’s openflowplugin
20:51:30 <tbachman> #info flaviof says he hasn’t heard from an HP person in weeks
20:51:47 <tbachman> #info shague says he believes they’ve backed off on that idea
20:52:01 <tbachman> #info eric multanen says they have a device driver proposal
20:52:58 <tbachman> #info srini084 asks what hte “Move to md-sal” trello card is for
20:53:40 <tbachman> #info 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
20:57:48 <tbachman> #info flaviof asks if anyone has done integration tests with pax-exam
