Public bug reported: The current ovsdb connection class (neutron.agent.ovsdb.native.connection.Connection) creates an instance of idl.Idl, but does not allow the client of the library to select a different library (e.g. a class overriding idl.Idl). Clients wanting to do this have to re-implement the entire start method, which contains a lot of unrelated logic.
This is a feature that would assist us in Dragonflow[1], where we want to override the notify method and get OVSDB events, and have this method overriden at the moment of connection (and not in retrospect).
