+## Cloudify DMaaP Plugin
+Cloudify plugin for creating and managing DMaaP Data Router feeds and subscriptions and
+DMaaP Message Router topics. The plugin uses the DMaaP Bus Controller API.
+
+### Plugin Support for DMaaP Data Router
+#### Plugin Types for DMaaP Data Router
+The Cloudify type definitions for DMaaP Data Router nodes and relationships
+are defined in [`dmaap.yaml`](./dmaap.yaml).
+
+There are four node types for DMaaP Data Router:
+
+- `ccsdk.nodes.Feed`: This type represents a feed that does not yet
+exist and that should be created when the install workflow is
+run against a blueprint that contains a node of this type.
+
+Property|Type|Required?|Description |
+--------|----|---------|---------------------------------------
+feed_name|string|no|a name that identifies the feed (plugin will generate if absent)
+feed_version|string|no|version number for the feed (feed_name + feed_version uniquely identify the feed in DR)
+feed_description|string|no|human-readable description of the feed
+aspr_classification|string|no|AT&T ASPR classification of the feed
+
+
+- `ccsdk.nodes.ExistingFeed`: This type represents a feed that
+already exists. Nodes of this type are placed in a blueprint so
+that other nodes in the blueprint can be set up as publishers or
+subscribers to the feed. The table below shows the properties that a node
+of this type may have.
+
+Property|Type|Required?|Description
+--------|----|---------|----------------------------------------
+feed_id|string|yes|Feed identifier assigned by DMaaP when the feed was created
+
+- `ccsdk.nodes.ExternalTargetFeed`: This type represents a feed created in an external DMaaP
+environment (i.e., an environment that the plugin cannot access to make provisioning requests, such as
+a shared corporate system). Nodes of this type are placed in a blueprint so that other feed nodes of
+type `ccsdk.nodes.Feed` or `ccsdk.nodes.ExistingFeed` can be set up to "bridge" to external feeds by
+publishing data to the external feeds. The table below shows the properties that a node of this type
+may have.
+
+Property|Type|Required?|Description
+--------|----|---------|----------------------------------------
+url|string|yes|The publish URL of the external feed.
+username|string|yes|The username to be used when delivering to the external feed
+userpw|string|yes|The password to be used when delivering to the external feed
+
+_Note: These properties are usually obtained by manually creating a feed in the external
+DMaaP DR system and then creating a publisher for that feed._
+
+- `ccsdk.nodes.ExternalSourceFeed`: This type represents a feed created in an external DMaaP
+environment (i.e., an environment that the plugin cannot access to makes provisioning requests, such as
+a shared corporate system). Nodes of this type are place in a blueprint so that they can be set up to
+"bridge" to other feed nodes of type `ccsdk.nodes.Feed` or `ccsdk.nodes.ExistingFeed`. This type
+has no node properties, but when a bridge is set up, the url, username, and password are attached to the
+node as runtime_properties, using the name of the target feed node as the top-level key.
+
+There are five relationship types for DMaaP Data Router:
+
+- `ccsdk.relationships.publish_files`, used to
+indicate that the relationship's source node sends is a publisher to the
+Data Router feed represented by the relationship's target node.
+- `ccsdk.relationships.subscribe_to_files`, used to
+indicate that the relationship's source node is a subscriber to the
+Data Router feed represented by the relationship's target node.
+- `ccsdk.relationships.bridges_to`, used to indicate that the relationship's source
+node (a `ccsdk.nodes.Feed` or `ccsdk.nodes.ExistingFeed`) should be set up
+to forward data ("bridge") to the relationship's target feed (another `ccsdk.nodes.Feed` or
+`ccsdk.nodes.ExistingFeed`).
+- `ccsdk.relationships.bridges_to_external`, used to indicate that the relationship's source
+node (a `ccsdk.nodes.Feed` or `ccsdk.nodes.ExistingFeed`) should be set up
+to forward data ("bridge") to the relationship's target node (a feed in an external DMaaP system,
+represented by a `ccsdk.nodes.ExternalTargetFeed` node).
+- `ccsdk.relationships.bridges_from_external_to_internal`, used to indicate the the relationship's source
+node (a feed in an external DMaaP system, represented by a `ccsdk.nodes.ExternalSourceFeed` node) should be set up to forward date ("bridge")
+to the relationship's target node (an internal ONAP feed, represented by a `ccsdk.nodes.Feed` or `ccsdk.nodes.ExistingFeed` node).
+
+The plugin code implements the lifecycle operations needed to create and
+delete feeds and to add and remove publishers and subscribers. It also implements
+the operations needed to set up bridging between feeds.
+
+#### Interaction with Other Plugins
+When creating a new feed or processing a reference to an existing feed,
+the plugin operates independently of other plugins.
+
+When processing a `ccsdk.relationships.publish_files` relationship or a
+`ccsdk.relationships.subscribe_to_files` relationship, this plugin needs
+to obtain data from the source node and, in the case of `publish_files`, provide
+data to the source node. Certain conventions are therefore needed for
+passing data between this plugin and the plugins responsible for the source
+nodes in these relationships. In Cloudify, the mechanism for
+sharing data among plugins is the `ctx.instance.runtime_properties` dictionary
+associated with each node.
+
+A given source node may have relationships with several feeds. For example, an ONAP DCAE
+data collector might publish two different types of data to two different feeds. An ONAP DCAE
+analytics module might subscribe to one feed to get input for its processing and
+publish its results to a different feed. When this DMaaP plugin and the plugin for the
+source node exchange information, they need to do in a way that lets them distinguish
+among different feeds. We do this through a simple convention: for each source node
+to feed relationship, the source node plugin will create a property in the source node's
+`runtime_properties` dictionary. The name of the property will be the same as the
+name of the target node of the relationship. For instance, if a node has a
+`publishes_files` relationship with a target node named `feed00`, then the plugin that's
+responsible for managing the source node with create an entry in the source node's
+`runtime_properties` dictionary named `feed00`. This entry itself will be a dictionary.
+
+The content of this data exchange dictionary depends on whether the source node is a
+publisher (i.e., the relationship is `publish_files`) or a subscriber (i.e., the
+relationship is `subscribe_to_files`).
+
+For the `publish_files` relationship, the data exchange dictionary has the following
+properties:
+
+Property|Set by|Description
+--------|------|------------------------------------------------
+location|source node plugin|the DMaaP location for the publisher, used to set up routing
+publish_url|DMaaP plugin|the URL to which the publisher makes Data Router publish requests
+log_url|DMaaP plugin|the URL from which log data for the feed can be obtained
+username|DMaaP plugin|the username (generated by the DMaaP plugin) the publisher uses to authenticate to Data Router
+password|DMaaP plugin|the password (generated by the DMaaP plugin) the publisher uses to authenticate to Data Router
+
+For the `subscribe_to_files` relationship, the data exchange dictionary has the following
+properties:
+
+Property|Set by|Description
+--------|------|------------------------------------------------
+location|source node plugin|the DMaaP location for the subscriber, used to set up routing
+delivery_url|source node plugin|the URL to which the Data Router should deliver files
+username|source node plugin|the username Data Router uses to authenticate to the subscriber when delivering files
+password|source node plugin|the username Data Router uses to authenticate to the subscriber when delivering file
+
+### Plugin Support for DMaaP Message Router
+#### Plugin Types for DMaaP Message Router
+The Cloudify type definitions for DMaaP Message Router nodes and relationships
+are defined in [`dmaap.yaml`](./dmaap.yaml).
+
+There are two node types for DMaaP Message Router:
+
+- `ccsdk.nodes.Topic`: This type represents a topic that does not yet
+exist and that should be created when the install workflow is
+run against a blueprint that contains a node of this type.
+
+Property|Type|Required?|Description
+--------|----|---------|---------------------------------------
+topic_name|string|no|a name that uniquely identifies the feed (plugin will generate if absent)
+topic_description|string|no|human-readable description of the feed
+txenable|boolean|no|flag indicating whether transactions are enabled for this topic
+replication_case|string|no|type of replication required for the topic (defaults to no replication)
+global_mr_url|string|no|Global MR host name for replication to a global MR instance
+
+Note: In order to set up topics, a user should be familiar with message router and how it is configured,
+and this README is not the place to explain the details of message router. Here are a couple of pieces of
+information that might be helpful.
+Currently, the allowed values for `replication_case` are:
+
+- `REPLICATION_NONE`
+- `REPLICATION_EDGE_TO_CENTRAL`
+- `REPLICATION_EDGE_TO_CENTRAL_TO_GLOBAL`
+- `REPLICATION_CENTRAL_TO_EDGE`
+- `REPLICATION_CENTRAL_TO_GLOBAL`
+- `REPLICATION_GLOBAL_TO_CENTRAL`
+- `REPLICATION_GLOBAL_TO_CENTRAL_TO_EDGE`
+
+The `global_mr_url` is actually a host name, not a full URL. It points to a host in a global message router
+cluster. (A 'global' message router cluster is one that's not part of ONAP.)
+
+- `ccsdk.nodes.ExistingTopic`: This type represents a topic that
+already exists. Nodes of this type are placed in a blueprint so
+that other nodes in the blueprint can be set up as publishers or
+subscribers to the topic. The table below shows the properties that a node
+of this type may have.
+
+Property|Type|Required?|Description
+--------|----|---------|----------------------------------------
+fqtn|string|yes|fully-qualified topic name for the topic
+
+#### Interaction with Other Plugins
+When creating a new topic or processing a reference to an existing topic,
+the plugin operates independently of other plugins.
+
+When processing a `ccsdk.relationships.publish_events` relationship or a
+`ccsdk.relationships.subscribe_to_events` relationship, this plugin needs
+to obtain data from and provide data to the source node. Certain conventions are therefore needed for
+passing data between this plugin and the plugins responsible for the source
+nodes in these relationships. In Cloudify, the mechanism for
+sharing data among plugins is the `ctx.instance.runtime_properties` dictionary
+associated with each node.
+
+A given source node may have relationships with several topics. For example, an ONAP DCAE
+analytics module might subscribe to one topic to get input for its processing and
+publish its results to a different topic. When this DMaaP plugin and the plugin for the
+source node exchange information, they need to do in a way that lets them distinguish
+among different feeds. We do this through a simple convention: for each source node
+to topic relationship, the source node plugin will create a property in the source node's
+`runtime_properties` dictionary. The name of the property will be the same as the
+name of the target node of the relationship. For instance, if a node has a
+`publishes_events` relationship with a target node named `topic00`, then the plugin that's
+responsible for managing the source node with create an entry in the source node's
+`runtime_properties` dictionary named `topic00`. This entry itself will be a dictionary.
+
+For both types of relationship, the data exchange dictionary has the following
+properties:
+
+Property|Set by|Description
+--------|------|------------------------------------------------
+location|source node plugin|the DMaaP location for the publisher or subscriber, used to set up routing
+client_role|source node plugin|the AAF client role that's requesting publish or subscribe access to the topic
+topic_url|DMaaP plugin|the URL for accessing the topic to publish or receive events
+
+### Interaction with Consul configuration store
+In addition to storing the results of DMaaP Data Router and DMaaP Message Router provisioning operations in `runtime_properties`,
+the DMaaP plugin also stores these results into the ONAP configuration store, which resides in a
+[Consul key-value store](https://www.consul.io/). This allows DMaaP clients (components that act as publishers, subscribers, or both)
+to retrieve their DMaaP configuration information from Consul, rather than having the plugin that deploys the client directly
+configure the client using data in `runtime_properties`.
+
+The `runtime_properties` for a client must contain a property called `service_component_name`. If this property is not present,
+the plugin will raise a NonRecoverableError and cause the installation to fail.
+
+If `service_component_name` is present, then the plugin will use a Consul key consisting of the value
+of `service_component_name` prepended to the fixed string `:dmaap`. For example, if the `service_component_name`
+is `client123`, the plugin will use `client123:dmaap` as the key for storing DMaaP information into Consul.
+Information for all of the feeds and topics for a client are stored under the same key.
+
+The value stored is a nested JSON object. At the top level of the object are properties representing each topic or feed
+for which the component is a publisher or subscriber. The name of the property is the node name of the target feed or topic.
+The value of the property is another JSON object that corresponds to the dictionary that the plugin created in
+`runtime_properties` corresponding to the target feed or topic. Note that the information in Consul includes
+all of the properties for the feed or topic, those set by the source node plugin as well as those set by the DMaaP plugin.
+
+Examples:
+
+Data Router publisher, target feed `feed00`:
+```
+{
+ "feed00": {
+ "username": "rC9QR51I",
+ "log_url": "https://dmaap.example.com/feedlog/972",
+ "publish_url": "https://dmaap.example.com/publish/972",
+ "location": "loc00",
+ "password": "QOQeUh5KLR",
+ "publisher_id": "972.360gm"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Data Router subscriber, target feed `feed01`:
+```
+{
+ "feed01": {
+ "username": "drdeliver",
+ "password": "1loveDataR0uter",
+ "location": "loc00",
+ "delivery_url": "https://example.com/whatever",
+ "subscriber_id": "1550"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Message Router publisher to `topic00`, subscriber to `topic01`. Note how each topic
+appears as a top-level property in the object.
+```
+{
+ "topic00": {
+ "topic_url": "https://dmaap.example.com:3905/events/org.onap.ccsdk.dmaap.FTL2.outboundx",
+ "client_role": "org.onap.ccsdk.member",
+ "location": "loc00",
+ "client_id": "1494621774522"
+ },
+ "topic01": {
+ "topic_url": "https://dmaap.example.com:3905/events/org.onap.ccsdk.dmaap.FTL2.inboundx",
+ "client_role": "org.onap.ccsdk.member",
+ "location": "loc00",
+ "client_id": "1494621778627"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Packaging and installing
+The DMaaP plugin is meant to be used as a [Cloudify managed plugin](http://docs.getcloudify.org/3.4.0/plugins/using-plugins/). Managed plugins
+are packaged using [`wagon`](https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/wagon).
+
+To package this plugin, executing the following command in the top-level directory of this plugin, from a Python environment in which `wagon` has been installed:
+```
+wagon create -s . -r -o /path/to/directory/for/wagon/output
+```
+Once the wagon file is built, it can be uploaded to a Cloudify Manager host using the `cfy plugins upload` command described in the documentation above.
+
+Managed plugins can also be loaded at the time a Cloudify Manager host is installed, via the installation blueprint and inputs file. We expect that this plugin will
+be loaded at Cloudify Manager installation time, and that `cfy plugins upload` will be used only for delivering patches between releases.
+
+### Configuration
+The plugin needs to be configured with certain parameters needed to access the DMaaP Bus Controller. In keeping with the ONAP architecture, this information is
+stored in Consul.
+
+The plugin finds the address and port of the DMaaP Bus Controller using the Consul service discovery facility. The plugin expects the Bus Controller to be
+registered under the name `dmaap_bus_controller`.
+
+Additional parameters come from the `dmaap` key in the Cloudify Manager's Consul configuration, which is stored in the Consul KV store under the key name
+'cloudify_manager'. The table below lists the properties in the configuration:
+
+Property|Type|Required?|Default|Description
+--------|----|---------|-------|--------------------------------
+`username`|string|Yes|(none)|The username for logging into DMaaP Bus Controller
+`password`|string|Yes|(none)|The password for logging into DMaaP Bus Controller
+`owner`|string|Yes|(none)|The name to be used as the owner for entities created by the plugin
+`protocol`|string|No|`https`|The protocol (URL scheme) used to access the DMaaP bus controller (`http` or `https`)
+`path`|string|No|`webapi`|The path to the root of the DMaaP Bus Controller API endpoint
+
+Here is an example of a Cloudify Manager configuration object showing only the `dmaap` key:
+```
+{
+ "dmaap": {
+ "username": "dmaap.client@ccsdkorch.onap.org",
+ "password": "guessmeifyoucan"
+ "owner": "ccsdkorc"
+ },
+
+ (other configuration here)
+
+}
+```
