[OPNFLWPLUG-892] Provide config knob to disable the Forwarding Rule Manager reconciliation

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 09:02:02 +0000

Forwarding rule manager does the flow/group/meter reconciliation whenever device connects to the plugin. Currently there is no way to disable the reconciliation in case users want to write their own reconciliation logic based on their application context. One example was a new feature in OVS (group_add_mod) that takes care of the situation where user needs to decide whether it should add the flow or modify the flow. Currently the only option they have is to disable FRM, which puts burden on application to even install flow/group/meter. I would be helpful if plugin can provide the flag that user can use to disable the reconciliation functionality in FRM.
