Tosca handling in CLAMP vs Tosca Control Loop - Findings

1. CSAR contains the DCAE blueprint to be used to deploy to DCAE but also contains a reference to a microservice policy type. CLAMP, on startup, pulls all the policy types and pulls them periodically after that. Clamp creates LOOP TEMPLATES from in its database from the blueprints. CLAMP uses the reference from the CSAR to associate the relevant microservice policy type with a loop template. Thus, CLAMP knows which monitoring policy type to use for creation of a Loop instance.
2. As shown in "src/main/java/org/onap/policy/clamp/loop/deploy/DcaeDeployParameters.java", multiple microservices per blueprint may not be supported by CLAMP. How much work would be required to support multiple BPs?
