[CONTROLLER-2009] Get Entity RPC does not support OVSDB entity type

Thu, 4 Nov 2021 19:40:41 +0000

get-entities RPC call

POST /rests/operations/odl-entity-owners:get-entities

returns OVSDB entities: for example,

{
    "odl-entity-owners:output": {
        "entities": [
            {
                "type": "ovsdb",
                "name": "ovsdb://uuid/268042b6-cfa8-41a6-aaaa-c63765bf36a3",
                "candidate-nodes": [
                    "member-1"
                ],
                "owner-node": "member-1"
            },
            {
                "type": "ovsdb-southbound-provider",
                "name": "ovsdb-southbound-provider",
                "candidate-nodes": [
                    "member-1"
                ],
                "owner-node": "member-1"
            }
        ]
    }
}

However, get-entity RPC for a specific entity returns an empty list.

For example, the following get-entity RPC for the entity listed above:

POST /rests/operations/odl-entity-owners:get-entity HTTP/1.1

{
    "odl-entity-owners:input" : {
        "type": "ovsdb",
        "name": "ovsdb://uuid/268042b6-cfa8-41a6-aaaa-c63765bf36a3"
    }
}

returns this:

{
    "odl-entity-owners:output": {}
}

OVSDB registers with the entity ownership service using an InstanceIdentifier generated from OVSDB topology & URI.
