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