OVSDB can be more flexible by supporting multiple schemas. Those multiple
schemas can be taken
from different releases, or on different feature sets. If the schema tables
don't overlap,
or for tables do overlap, but columns are not in conflict, those schemas can be
joined together
into single schema for database operations.
I am working towards convert all ovsdb related tools and servers to support
multiple schemas.
This patch series is the first attempt, which adds support for ovsdb-tool. This
will enable
more work of other tools and scripts.
v1-v2:
I have reworked the original 5 patch series in now 8 patch series, so it
is harder to
track review changes on per patch basis. Here is a summary of changes:
* Add more comments
* API changes to make it more obvious where memory allocation and release
should
happen.
* Add ovsdb-tool man page changes
