During the implementation of static datasource driver[1], I got a question on the return format of `get_all` method. If I understand correctly, it should return a list of entities to be sent to the queue. Does it infer that the relationship should be embedded in entity, just like the legacy static_physical datasource? Suppose a link between two switches are created, how should we emit this change in `get_all` or `get_changes`? Currently I made a compromise by emitting the relationship as an update of the connected entity. This is not very elegant and it seems we are going back to the legacy static_physical datasource.
