Re: [Netconf] New version for draft-clemm-netconf-yang-push-01.txt

Hi Ambika,

there is one conceptual stream that is predefined, datastore-push.  

One item for discussion concerns whether there should be other conceptual streams that are predefined:  specifically, one stream with all operational data (in effect, datastore-push with all config data removed) - e.g. "operational-push", and (potentiallly) one stream with all operational data minus counters (specifically for on-change subscriptions, which make little sense for ocunters).  While strictly speaking you could define filters on datastore-push instead, having a dedicated stream is more convenient as the articulation of a separate filter is more tedious and makes the mechanism harder to use.  

To let users define streams is strictly speaking not required, but makes for a "convenience function".  Among other things, again it saves subscribers from having to articulate filters, in particular if an administrator preconfigures corresponding streams.  

In any event, yes, the stream is a mandatory parameter.  You always subscribe to a stream (well, with datastore-push as a default, we can argue if it should therefore whether as a parameter it should be optional after all).  This is also one of the parameters that have  already introduced in RFC 5277 (create-subscription for notifications).  

Thanks
--- Alex

Hi Alex/Eric,

Few doubts  

1) who will define streams? What is the practical use of it? Doesn't the filter will address the requirement?

2) If user is defining the streams, how to subscribe to the stream? Is stream is a mandatory parameter for subscription? 

Br,

RFC 5277 XPATH Filters for attribute match expressions is what I believe is achievable right now upon YANG objects.  But other PubSub  technologies like DDS (OMG) and MQTT (OASIS) can pass PubSub topic filters which are more flexible.  With this question I was hoping to leave space open for someone willing to argue for a solution here.
