[dev] Multithreading call tomorrow (Fri) 11:00 East / 17:00 EU

[Donald Sharp]

Vincent -

You are correct that better meeting minutes would be helpful.  I run
the meetings and don't have time to write notes as I go, so we get
stuff cobbled together at the end.  To answer your original question
about the why of it:

1) We have several known situations where show commands for bgp take
an extraordinary amount of time to run/process( especially with JSON
output turned on ).  This long time is causing bgp neighbor
relationships to be taken down because hello's are not getting out.

2) Quentin/David/Olivier have all been working/thinking about threads
and all have slightly different approaches.  This last round of
changes changed an api that was found to be surprising after it was
committed.  At that point we decided that it would be a good idea to
spend a couple hours( or more ) hammering out the general approach we
want to take.  Hence this meeting
