      Convention for heading levels in Open vSwitch documentation:

      =======  Heading 0 (reserved for the title in a document)
      -------  Heading 1
      ~~~~~~~  Heading 2
      +++++++  Heading 3
      '''''''  Heading 4

      Avoid deeper levels because they do not render well.

===========================
OVSDB Clustering To-do List
===========================

* Ephemeral columns.

* Unit test snapshotting.

* Locks.

* Investigate 100% CPU for long-running triggers

* Tons of unit tests.

* Increase exponential backoff cap.  Introduce randomization.

* Include index with monitor update?

* Back off when transaction fails to commit?  Definitely back off until
  the eid changes for prereq failures

* Testing with replication.

* Handling bad transactions in read_db().  (Kill the database?)

* Documentation:

  * ACID (and CAP?) explanation.

  * Upgrading OVN to a clustered database

  * Installing OVN with a clustered database

  * Overall diagram explaining the cluster and ovsdb protocol pieces

* Future work:

  * File format with diff support.

  * Future work: DNS or directory support
