When a strong reference to a non-root table is ephemeral, the database log can contain inconsistencies. In particular, if the column in question is the only reference to a row, then the row will be created in one logged transaction but the reference to it will not be logged (because it is ephemeral). Thus, any later occurrence of the row later in the log (to modify it, to delete it, or just to reference it) will yield a transaction error and reading the database will abort at that point. This commit fixes the problem by forcing any column with a strong reference to a non-root table to be persistent. The change to ovsdb_schema_from_json() looks bigger than it really is: it just swaps the order of two operations on the schema and updates their comments. Similarly for the update to ovs.db.DbSchema.__init__(). Bug #5144. Reported-by: Sujatha Sumanth <ssumanth@nicira.com> Bug #5149. Reported-by: Ram Jothikumar <rjothikumar@nicira.com>
