I would like to merge my network-refactoring branch to master The main objective of this piece of refactoring was to: - reduce and eliminate unneeded dependencies on the orchestration piece - move queries to the network data into the api project - allow plugins to stop depending on the 'server' component
I'll rebase to master to get the api_refactoring changes before proceeding. This should be relatively trivial -- the physical layer is the primary admin api. The 3rd and 4th tasks -- I was hoping that this split would help me move the virtual routing code into its own plugin, but I now believe there is too much orchestration buried into the VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl to make this immediately practical. So, I propose to do a second set of refactoring post-4.1 to help this along. Testing: - devcloud + marvin devcloud tests [basic zone] - simulator + UI-based network service tests - junit tests to test code that was actually re-written rather than moved - compiler should detect all other api movements.
