[Freeipa-devel] Topology Plugin design questions

[Oleg Fayans]

Hi Ludwig,

It seems the Design page for the topology plugin is a bit outdated.
1. It still operates with the terms like plugin version 
(http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Manage_replication_topology#Check_for_modify_operation), 
although it was generally agreed, that we do not use plugin version at all.

2. The section 
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Manage_replication_topology#Check_after_online_initializatition 
should be a bit clarified:
Does this mean, that if we prepare a replica from a master that has 
domainlevel = 1, then the replica, that already had a domain level = 0 
will raise it? Do we support this scenario at all?

3. Segment directions. Currently there is no way to specify segment 
direction using the cli `ipa topologysegment-add`. However the direction 
is shown with `ipa topologysegment-find` and `ipa topologysegment-show`, 
which leads to confusing of the users. We probably should remove this 
info from the output at all and update the design page accordingly.
