Meeting summary --------------- * testing status update (tbachman, 20:07:23) * Marcus started on some of the static analysis errors, will look into unit tests next (tbachman, 20:07:45) * There are some maven build dependency and build issues being reported (tbachman, 20:08:21) * srini084 recommends reporting errors to the list (tbachman, 20:08:37) * The errors come in eclipse builds, not CLI builds, mostly due to dependency errors (tbachman, 20:08:54) * srini084 says that he’s mostly done CLI errors, and hasn’t used Eclipse (tbachman, 20:09:09) * 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) * Marcus notes that this works on the controller project, but not with the OVSDB project (tbachman, 20:10:15) * A question was asked whether we should standardize on Intellij (tbachman, 20:10:58) * flaviof says that there’s a fair number of users of Eclipse (tbachman, 20:11:19) * 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) * Marcus and team says they’re working on that — they have gerrit accounts (tbachman, 20:13:38) * Question about running sonar behind firewalls — connection to the sonar server is being blocked by their firewall (tbachman, 20:14:22) * shague says he runs a sonar server locally on his laptop (tbachman, 20:14:32) * shague downloaded the sonar .zip file and ran that (tbachman, 20:14:54) * Marcus asks if it’s possible to get the profiile file (tbachman, 20:15:10) * LINK: https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/ovsdb-dev/2014-October/000798.html email from shague describing how to use OpenStack integration (tbachman, 20:20:40) * flaviof asks about moving of-extension to openflowplugin (tbachman, 20:22:40) * srini084 says that they’re working towards that (tbachman, 20:22:57) * 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) * srini084 says the OVSDB team may just want to make this feature deprecated to allow dependent projects time to migrate (tbachman, 20:24:00) * Bug Fixing (tbachman, 20:24:22) * flaviof says that they’ve been able to knock down some bugs, and is currently on bug 2021 (tbachman, 20:24:43) * LINK: https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021 Current bug that flaviof is working on (tbachman, 20:25:13) * current thinking is that the OVSDB project might be calling into the openflowplugin for the normal rule (tbachman, 20:25:48) * 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) * LINK: https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2024 Bug discovered by edwarnicke (tbachman, 20:28:06) * OVSDB plugin (tbachman, 20:29:35) * srini084 created a youtube video for a code walk-thru on the OVSDB plugin (tbachman, 20:29:53) * LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vACyoKdefRs YouTube video created by Srini on the plugin part of the OVSDB code (tbachman, 20:30:27) * 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) * flaviof asks if the notion of schema is on a per-node basis (tbachman, 20:34:29) * srini084 says yes (tbachman, 20:34:34) * 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) * flaviof says he could do this on the L3 services (tbachman, 20:36:52) * srini084 asks if there’s a way we can figure out what other projects are using the OVSDB plugin (tbachman, 20:38:13) * ACTION: srini084 to email the controller list asking who’s using the plugin, and look at the dependency chart (tbachman, 20:38:47) * srini084 says that colindixon indicated that the split of the OVSDB project needs to be done by the M2 milestone (tbachman, 20:39:40) * flaviof says that breaking the project into two pieces might be lower priority than cleaning up the existing project (tbachman, 20:40:52) * 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) * srini084 says that we’ll probably have more things coming from the OpenStack side as well (tbachman, 20:41:49) * 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) * srini084 asks if there are things on the TODO list that we need to discuss (tbachman, 20:43:33) * eric asks if the pipeline of tables would be present in the HW VTEP schema case (tbachman, 20:45:25) * 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) * srini084 asks shague if there are any updates on the userspace data path (tbachman, 20:46:40) * shague says he hasn’t run any tests on performance, no vxlan (tbachman, 20:46:55) * shague asks if the Intel folks have a schedule to get the DPDK OVS fork merged with upstream OVS (tbachman, 20:48:39) * eric multanen says that he’s not aware of the plan — the vxlan support, etc. should be there eventually (tbachman, 20:49:03) * srini084 asks flaviof if he knows if there’s any udpate on HP’s openflowplugin (tbachman, 20:51:21) * flaviof says he hasn’t heard from an HP person in weeks (tbachman, 20:51:30) * shague says he believes they’ve backed off on that idea (tbachman, 20:51:47) * eric multanen says they have a device driver proposal (tbachman, 20:52:01) * srini084 asks what hte “Move to md-sal” trello card is for (tbachman, 20:52:58) * 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) * flaviof asks if anyone has done integration tests with pax-exam (tbachman, 20:57:48) Meeting ended at 20:58:37 UTC.
