We haven't written anything down yet, but here's what I expect.

Right now we're still changing the db schema however is needed without
messing with versioning.  As we get to "production ready", I expect
we'll start being strict about only making backwards compatible ovsdb
schema changes to make upgrades easier.

There are 2 central components - ovn-northd and ovsdb-server - that
would be upgraded first, which I would expect to be done at the same
time as upgrading your Neutron control plane.  As long as any ovsdb
schema changes are backwards compatible, you could do rolling-upgrades
of ovn-controller on compute or network nodes.
