class Idl(object):
    """Open vSwitch Database Interface Definition Language (OVSDB IDL).

    The OVSDB IDL maintains an in-memory replica of a database.  It issues RPC
    requests to an OVSDB database server and parses the responses, converting
    raw JSON into data structures that are easier for clients to digest.

    The IDL also assists with issuing database transactions.  The client
    creates a transaction, manipulates the IDL data structures, and commits or
    aborts the transaction.  The IDL then composes and issues the necessary
    JSON-RPC requests and reports to the client whether the transaction
    completed successfully.

    The client is allowed to access the following attributes directly, in a
    read-only fashion:

    - 'tables': This is the 'tables' map in the ovs.db.schema.DbSchema provided
      to the Idl constructor.  Each ovs.db.schema.TableSchema in the map is
      annotated with a new attribute 'rows', which is a dict from a uuid.UUID
      to a Row object.

      The client may directly read and write the Row objects referenced by the
      'rows' map values.  Refer to Row for more details.

    - 'change_seqno': A number that represents the IDL's state.  When the IDL
      is updated (by Idl.run()), its value changes.  The sequence number can
      occasionally change even if the database does not.  This happens if the
      connection to the database drops and reconnects, which causes the
      database contents to be reloaded even if they didn't change.  (It could
      also happen if the database server sends out a "change" that reflects
      what the IDL already thought was in the database.  The database server is
      not supposed to do that, but bugs could in theory cause it to do so.)

    - 'lock_name': The name of the lock configured with Idl.set_lock(), or None
      if no lock is configured.

    - 'has_lock': True, if the IDL is configured to obtain a lock and owns that
      lock, and False otherwise.

      Locking and unlocking happens asynchronously from the database client's
      point of view, so the information is only useful for optimization
      (e.g. if the client doesn't have the lock then there's no point in trying
      to write to the database).

    - 'is_lock_contended': True, if the IDL is configured to obtain a lock but
      the database server has indicated that some other client already owns the
      requested lock, and False otherwise.

    - 'txn': The ovs.db.idl.Transaction object for the database transaction
      currently being constructed, if there is one, or None otherwise.

        'remote', which should be in a form acceptable to
        ovs.jsonrpc.session.open().  The connection will maintain an in-memory
        replica of the remote database.

        'remote' can be comma separated multiple remotes and each remote
        should be in a form acceptable to ovs.jsonrpc.session.open().

        'schema_helper' should be an instance of the SchemaHelper class which
        generates schema for the remote database. The caller may have cut it
        down by removing tables or columns that are not of interest.  The IDL
        will only replicate the tables and columns that remain.  The caller may
        also add an attribute named 'alert' to selected remaining columns,
        setting its value to False; if so, then changes to those columns will
        not be considered changes to the database for the purpose of the return
        value of Idl.run() and Idl.change_seqno.  This is useful for columns
        that the IDL's client will write but not read.

        As a convenience to users, 'schema' may also be an instance of the
        SchemaHelper class.

        The IDL uses and modifies 'schema' directly.

        If 'leader_only' is set to True (default value) the IDL will only
        monitor and transact with the leader of the cluster.

        If "probe_interval" is zero it disables the connection keepalive
        feature. If non-zero the value will be forced to at least 1000
        milliseconds. If None it will just use the default value in OVS.

    """A row within an IDL.

    The client may access the following attributes directly:

    - 'uuid': a uuid.UUID object whose value is the row's database UUID.

    - An attribute for each column in the Row's table, named for the column,
      whose values are as returned by Datum.to_python() for the column's type.

      If some error occurs (e.g. the database server's idea of the column is
      different from the IDL's idea), then the attribute values is the
      "default" value return by Datum.default() for the column's type.  (It is
      important to know this because the default value may violate constraints
      for the column's type, e.g. the default integer value is 0 even if column
      contraints require the column's value to be positive.)

      When a transaction is active, column attributes may also be assigned new
      values.  Committing the transaction will then cause the new value to be
      stored into the database.

      *NOTE*: In the current implementation, the value of a column is a *copy*
      of the value in the database.  This means that modifying its value
      directly will have no useful effect.  For example, the following:
        row.mycolumn["a"] = "b"              # don't do this
      will not change anything in the database, even after commit.  To modify
      the column, instead assign the modified column value back to the column:
        d = row.mycolumn
        d["a"] = "b"
        row.mycolumn = d

    columns in the database have not changed ("verify" operations), through
    Row methods.

    Reading and writing columns and inserting and deleting rows are all
    straightforward.  The reasons to verify columns are less obvious.
    Verification is the key to maintaining transactional integrity.  Because
    OVSDB handles multiple clients, it can happen that between the time that
    OVSDB client A reads a column and writes a new value, OVSDB client B has
    written that column.  Client A's write should not ordinarily overwrite
    client B's, especially if the column in question is a "map" column that
    contains several more or less independent data items.  If client A adds a
    "verify" operation before it writes the column, then the transaction fails
    in case client B modifies it first.  Client A will then see the new value
    of the column and compose a new transaction based on the new contents
    written by client B.

    When a transaction is complete, which must be before the next call to
    Idl.run(), call Transaction.commit() or Transaction.abort().

    The life-cycle of a transaction looks like this:

    1. Create the transaction and record the initial sequence number:

        seqno = idl.change_seqno(idl)
        txn = Transaction(idl)

    2. Modify the database with Row and Transaction methods.

    3. Commit the transaction by calling Transaction.commit().  The first call
       to this function probably returns Transaction.INCOMPLETE.  The client
       must keep calling again along as this remains true, calling Idl.run() in
       between to let the IDL do protocol processing.  (If the client doesn't
       have anything else to do in the meantime, it can use
       Transaction.commit_block() to avoid having to loop itself.)

    4. If the final status is Transaction.TRY_AGAIN, wait for Idl.change_seqno
       to change from the saved 'seqno' (it's possible that it's already
       changed, in which case the client should not wait at all), then start
       over from step 1.  Only a call to Idl.run() will change the return value
       of Idl.change_seqno.  (Transaction.commit_block() calls Idl.run().)"""

              should call again later, after calling Idl.run() to let the
              IDL do OVSDB protocol processing.

          Transaction.UNCHANGED:

              The transaction is complete.  (It didn't actually change the
              database, so the IDL didn't send any request to the database
              server.)

          Transaction.ABORTED:

              The caller previously called Transaction.abort().

          Transaction.SUCCESS:

              The transaction was successful.  The update made by the
              transaction (and possibly other changes made by other database
              clients) should already be visible in the IDL.

          Transaction.TRY_AGAIN:

              The transaction failed for some transient reason, e.g. because a
              "verify" operation reported an inconsistency or due to a network
              problem.  The caller should wait for a change to the database,
              then compose a new transaction, and commit the new transaction.

              Use Idl.change_seqno to wait for a change in the database.  It is
              important to use its value *before* the initial call to
              Transaction.commit() as the baseline for this purpose, because
              the change that one should wait for can happen after the initial
              call but before the call that returns Transaction.TRY_AGAIN, and
              using some other baseline value in that situation could cause an
              indefinite wait if the database rarely changes.

          Transaction.NOT_LOCKED:

              The transaction failed because the IDL has been configured to
              require a database lock (with Idl.set_lock()) but didn't
              get it yet or has already lost it.

        Committing a transaction rolls back all of the changes that it made to
        the IDL's copy of the database.  If the transaction commits
        successfully, then the database server will send an update and, thus,
        the IDL will be updated with the committed changes."""
