Build Update for ovsrobot/ovn
-------------------------------------

Build: #464
Status: Passed

Duration: 19 mins and 32 secs
Commit: 4406e59 (series_164212)
Author: Lucas Alvares Gomes
Message: Avoid nb_cfg update notification flooding

nb_cfg as a mechanism to "ping" OVN control plane is very useful
in many ways. However, the current implementation will trigger
update notifications flooding in the whole control plane. Each
HV updates to SB the nb_cfg number and all these updates are
notified to all the other HVs, which is O(n^2). Although updates
are batched in fewers notifications than n^2, it still generates
significant load on SB DB and also on ovn-controllers.

To solve this problem and make the mechanism more useful in large
scale producation deployment, this patch separates the per HV
*private* data (write only by the owning chassis and not
interesting to any other HVs) from the Chassis table to a separate
table, so that each HV can conditionally monitor and get updates
only for its own record.

Test result shows great improvement:
In a test environment with 1K sandbox HVs, and 10K ports created
on 40 lswitches and 8 lrouters, do the sync test when the system
is idle, with command:

    time ovn-nbctl --wait=hv sync

Original result:
real    4m52.926s
user    0m0.328s
sys     0m0.004s

With this patch:
real    0m11.405s
user    0m0.316s
sys     0m0.016s

Also, regarding backwards compatibility note that the nb_cfg from the
Chassis table is no longer updated. If any system is relying on this
mechanism they should start using the nb_cfg from the Chassis_Private
table from now on.
