Hi Neutrinos!

We found a technical challenge during implementing the 
port-resource-request-groups API extension[1]. That extension changes 
the format of the port.resoruce_request as well as the format of the  
port.binding:profile.allocation. The former is a calculated field on 
the port so that is easy. However the bindig:profile is persisted in 
the database so data migration is needed. What is the canonical way to 
do such DB data translation in Neutron? Can we translate the data in 
place during alembic migration? Or should we do some kind of online 
data migration when the data is translated by neutron when it is read 
from the db?

cheers,
gibi
