[ovs-discuss] OVSDB updates, IDL consistency

[Saurabh Shrivastava (सौरभ श्रीवास्तव)]

Hi,

When OVSDB server sends updates to an OVSDB client, the IDL changes
idl_seqno. When idl_seqno changes, the client can rebrowse the IDL and look
for changes.

Does OVSDB server guarantee that the updates always maintain referential
integrity for row creation and row updates i.e. if the client browses the
IDL it should never run into a situation where rowA in tableA points to a
non-existent rowB in tableB because the update for rowA has arrived but
update for rowB is still in flight.

If the OVSDB server doesnt guarantee the above, what should the client do
to make sure that IDL is in a consistent state before it is browsed.

Thanks
