Open vSwitch is a project with multiple daemons. Since you are using
OpenStack, it is not clear from your message, what type of networking
plugin you are using. Do you use OVN?
Also, you did not mention from which file you have gotten the above errors.

Generally, the above indicates that a daemon fronting a Open vSwitch
database hasn't been able to connect to its client. Usually happens when
CPU consumption is very high.
