<div dir="ltr">In my experience doing any kind of http request inside a of a db transaction kills performance vastly (and can lead to situations where deadlock often occurs due to eventlet+sqlalchemly).

<p><font face="sans-serif">Have a question regarding calling an external SDN controller in a plugin. The ML2 model brings up the fact that it is preferred not to call an external controller within a database session by splitting up each call into two calls: *_precommit and *_postcommit. Makes sense.</font><br>

<font face="sans-serif">Looking at the existing monolithic plugins, I see some plugins that do not follow this approach and have the call to the controller from within a session. The obvious benefit of this approach would be a simpler cleanup code segment for cases where the call to controller fails. So my question is whether it is still OK to use this simpler approach in monolithic plugins. As we move to the ML2 model, we will be using the ML2 approach but in the meantime, we leave the option of calling the controller within a session as an OK option. Would that be reasonable?</font><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
