It was mentioned in the confd user guide, that data-provider callbacks will be invoked during copy-config operation.
“15.4.1. Error Handling
When ConfD processes , , and requests, the resulting data set can be very large. To avoid buffering huge amounts of data, ConfD streams the reply to the client as it traverses the data tree and calls data provider functions to retrieve the data.”
Why data-provider are invoked during copy-config and get-config. Please clarify.
