/* Open vSwitch Database Interface Definition Language (OVSDB IDL).
 *
 * The OVSDB IDL maintains an in-memory replica of a database.  It issues RPC
 * requests to an OVSDB database server and parses the responses, converting
 * raw JSON into data structures that are easier for clients to digest.  Most
 * notably, references to rows via UUID become C pointers.
 *
 * The IDL always presents a consistent snapshot of the database to its client,
 * that is, it won't present the effects of some part of a transaction applied
 * at the database server without presenting all of its effects.
 *
 * The IDL also assists with issuing database transactions.  The client creates
 * a transaction, manipulates the IDL data structures, and commits or aborts
 * the transaction.  The IDL then composes and issues the necessary JSON-RPC
 * requests and reports to the client whether the transaction completed
 * successfully.

/* Choosing columns and tables to replicate.
 *
 * The client may choose any subset of the columns and tables to replicate,
 * specifying it one of two ways:
 *
 *   - As a deny list (adding the columns or tables to replicate).  To do so,
 *     the client passes false as 'monitor_everything_by_default' to
 *     ovsdb_idl_create() and then calls ovsdb_idl_add_column() and
 *     ovsdb_idl_add_table() for the desired columns and, if necessary, tables.
 *
 *   - As an allow list (replicating all columns and tables except those
 *     explicitly removed).  To do so, the client passes true as
 *     'monitor_everything_by_default' to ovsdb_idl_create() and then calls
 *     ovsdb_idl_omit() to remove columns.
 *
 * There are multiple modes a column may be replicated:
 *
 *   - Read-only.  This is the default.  Whenever the column changes in any
 *     replicated row, the value returned by ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() will change,
 *     letting the client know to look at the replicated data again.
 *
 *   - Write-only.  This is for columns that the client sets and updates but
 *     does not want to be alerted about its own updates (which, at the OVSDB
 *     level, cannot be distinguished from updates made by any other client).
 *     The column will be replicated in the same way as for read-only columns,
 *     but the value returned by ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() will not change when the
 *     column changes, saving wasted CPU time.
 *
 *     (A "write-only" client probably does read the column so that it can know
 *     whether it needs to update it, but it doesn't expect to react to changes
 *     by other clients.)
 *
 *     To mark a replicated column as write-only, a client calls
 *     ovsdb_idl_omit_alert().  (The column must already be replicated one of
 *     the ways described in the previous list.)
 *
 *     This is an optimization only and does not affect behavioral correctness
 *     of an otherwise well-written client.
 *
 *   - Read/write.  In theory, an OVSDB client might both read and write a
 *     column, although OVSDB schemas are usually designed so that any given
 *     client only does one or the other.  This is actually the same as
 *     read/write columns; that is, the client need take no special action.
 */

/* Modes with which the IDL can replicate a column.  See above comment for
 * overview.
 *
 * If no bits are set, the IDL does not replicate the column at all.  The
 * client will always see it with the default value for its type.
 *
 * If OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR is set, then the IDL replicates the column and sets it
 * to to the value in the database.  If OVSDB_IDL_ALERT is also set, then the
 * IDL will change the value returned by ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() when the
 * column's value changes in any row.
 *
 * Typical mode combinations are:
 *
 *   - 0, for a column that a client doesn't care about.  This is the default
 *     for every column in every table, if the client passes false for
 *     'monitor_everything_by_default' to ovsdb_idl_create().
 *
 *   - (OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR | OVSDB_IDL_ALERT), for a column that a client wants
 *     to track and possibly update.  This is the default for every column in
 *     every table, if the client passes true for
 *     'monitor_everything_by_default' to ovsdb_idl_create().
 *
 *   - OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR, for columns that a client treats as "write-only",
 *     that is, it updates them but doesn't want to get alerted about its own
 *     updates.  It also won't be alerted about other clients' updates, so this
 *     is suitable only for use by a client that "owns" a particular column.
 *     Use ovsdb_idl_omit_alert() to set a column that is already replicated to
 *     this mode.
 *
 *   - OVDSB_IDL_ALERT without OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR is not valid.
 *
 *   - (OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR | OVSDB_IDL_ALERT | OVSDB_IDL_TRACK), for a column
 *     that a client wants to track using the change tracking
 *     ovsdb_idl_track_get_*() functions.
 *
 *   - (OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR | OVSDB_IDL_ALERT | OVSDB_IDL_WRITE_CHANGED_ONLY)
 *     is similar to (OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR | OVSDB_IDL_ALERT) except that it
 *     only adds a written column to a transaction if the column's value
 *     has actually changed.

 *
 * In OVSDB, change tracking is applied at each client in the IDL layer.  This

 * the client clears tracked changes, that information will no longer be

 *
 * The implication of the above is that if a client requires replaying

 * path for processing the full untracked table as well as a path that

/* Transactions.
 *
 * A transaction may modify the contents of a database by modifying the values
 * of columns, deleting rows, inserting rows, or adding checks that columns in
 * the database have not changed ("verify" operations), through
 * ovsdb_idl_txn_*() functions.  (The OVSDB IDL code generator produces helper
 * functions that internally call the ovsdb_idl_txn_*() functions.  These are
 * likely to be more convenient.)
 *
 * Reading and writing columns and inserting and deleting rows are all
 * straightforward.  The reasons to verify columns are less obvious.
 * Verification is the key to maintaining transactional integrity.  Because
 * OVSDB handles multiple clients, it can happen that between the time that
 * OVSDB client A reads a column and writes a new value, OVSDB client B has
 * written that column.  Client A's write should not ordinarily overwrite
 * client B's, especially if the column in question is a "map" column that
 * contains several more or less independent data items.  If client A adds a
 * "verify" operation before it writes the column, then the transaction fails
 * in case client B modifies it first.  Client A will then see the new value of
 * the column and compose a new transaction based on the new contents written
 * by client B.
 *
 * When a transaction is complete, which must be before the next call to
 * ovsdb_idl_run() on 'idl', call ovsdb_idl_txn_commit() or
 * ovsdb_idl_txn_abort().
 *
 * The life-cycle of a transaction looks like this:
 *
 * 1. Create the transaction and record the initial sequence number:
 *
 *     seqno = ovsdb_idl_get_seqno(idl);
 *     txn = ovsdb_idl_txn_create(idl);
 *
 * 2. Modify the database with ovsdb_idl_txn_*() functions directly or
 *    indirectly.
 *
 * 3. Commit the transaction by calling ovsdb_idl_txn_commit().  The first call
 *    to this function probably returns TXN_INCOMPLETE.  The client must keep
 *    calling again along as this remains true, calling ovsdb_idl_run() in
 *    between to let the IDL do protocol processing.  (If the client doesn't
 *    have anything else to do in the meantime, it can use
 *    ovsdb_idl_txn_commit_block() to avoid having to loop itself.)
 *
 * 4. If the final status is TXN_TRY_AGAIN, wait for ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() to
 *    change from the saved 'seqno' (it's possible that it's already changed,
 *    in which case the client should not wait at all), then start over from
 *    step 1.  Only a call to ovsdb_idl_run() will change the return value of
 *    ovsdb_idl_get_seqno().  (ovsdb_idl_txn_commit_block() calls
 *    ovsdb_idl_run().)
