[MDSAL-220] Incorporate ietf-routing with Java binding v1

Mon, 6 Aug 2018 11:48:09 +0000

RFC 8022 is a proposed standard (as opposed to draft) which includes Yang module ietf-routing [0].

This yang module contains grouping special-next-hop which has leaf special-next-hop of type enumeration, which triggers ~~MDSAL-207~~ (as a symptom of ~~MDSAL-1~~ which will not be fixed for Java binding v1).

As an illustration, here is a Change [1] attempting to add ietf-routing to mdasal.models.

Even though IETF models should be hosted in mdsal.model (I believe), two projects are maintaining their own copies (without changing the module name):

Honeycomd/Vbd avoids ~~MDSAL-207~~ by renaming the grouping [2].
Bier avoids ~~MDSAL-207~~ by renaming the leaf [3].

This leads to a situation where adding Bier features to integration [4] fails, because Honeycomb/Vbd augments are not compatible with the Bier edit (which has newer revision).

BIER-3 and HONEYVBD-14 are opened against the two projects to move their IETF models to Mdsal, but this Bug is there to decide what to do with respect to ~~MDSAL-207~~ in order for ietf-routing (Java binding v1) to be available for other ODL projects.
