Commit Message

Mark Gray Sept. 29, 2021, 5:23 p.m. UTC
Initial implementation adds a single node (northd). This single
node executes the northd processing pipeline but does not do so
incrementally.

In order to develop incremental processing for northd, the code
will be organised with a .c/.h file for each I-P node following
the naming convention en-<node name>.c/.h. These files will
contain definition of the node data, the main node processing
functions and change handlers (if any). The purpose of these nodes
will be coordination of the nodes work and implemention of the
relevant interfaces to plugin to the I-P framework. The actual
work that will be executed by the node will be organised into
a companion file or files. Ideally this file will follow the
naming convention of the node: e.g. en-<node name>.c is
associated with <node name>.c.

Initial node topology sees the northd node dependent on all DB
nodes. This will evolve over time.

Bleep bloop.  Greetings Mark Gray, I am a robot and I have tried out your patch.
Thanks for your contribution.

I encountered some error that I wasn't expecting.  See the details below.
