Let's open the discussion and consider them right now. vNode and Node are the

We are going to maintain and develop this feature. there is a huge overhead
in 6 table design in compare to 4.
Counting how many tables you should manage is out of context.
The only thing I can care of is database design
From DB design perspective if you have a main table A with PK PK-A if
you have any other table X that includes PK-A as a column Cx , then there should be a
foreign key constraint that handles removals from A and clean corresponding X table
records accordingly. This you can not do when you have 2 UUIDs as you suggested (not to
mention that this is considered as bad DB design with no doubt)
Add to that the fact
that when managing both UUIDs in one table, you are supposed to get deadlocks from
scenarios that wouldn't cause that if each entity is managed in its own table.
I don't see any point to open this to discussion, we had worked hard to separate
tables that used this bad method in the past and caused us a bunch of unexpected
problems.
Please develop your DB changes according to normal well accepted guidelines I will not ack
a change that violates simple DB design rules.

I beg to differ, dynamic table contains a lot of dynamic data:
host status, used memory and pending resources (maybe more).
still need to think about it, and get back to you.

I disagree with both:
a) don't compare interface to NUMA; interface is a key element in the system.
b) if you care about high frequency, you can separate the update flows to the
same table.
c) see my comment about 1, overhead.
d) vNuma = Numa, as I said we can open it now for discussion.

fine, can be done in a later phase. Please document with a bug/RFE

repeating my later comment:
correction: no need for another connection table, use vm_vds_numa_node_map

see comment #6 (including the correction). there is actual real-life NUMA
mapping retrieved by the host, and there is pinning info.
when a VM is down, the actual real-life mapping can be removed.
