how to ensure the compatibility between xcat version and xcat-inventory schema version

[root@briggs01 xcat_clusters]# xcat-inventory import -f ./osimage/rhels/ist.redhat.perf.custom.netboot.DL.osimage.yaml
Importing object: ist.redhat.perf.custom.netboot.DL
Error: no column 'environvar' in table osimage, might caused by mismatch between schema version and xCAT version!

PR #71

The fix looks like this now:

# cat ist.redhat-alt.install.DF.yaml | egrep "schema_version|Version"
    "schema_version": "1.0"
#Version 2.14.3 (git commit d1bf861f7bae8e322a8d5b33f0729d5c3fe0a2b7, built Mon Aug 13 06:15:45 EDT 2018)
# xcat-inventory import -t osimage -f ist.redhat-alt.install.DF.yaml
Error: invalid schema /opt/xcat/lib/python/xcclient/inventory/schema/1.0/osimage.yaml: This schema is valid for xCAT releases >=2.14.2, current xCAT version is 2.14

The result to import an osimage into xcat2.14.3, the osiamge is export from xcat2.14.

As you can see below, the performance is bad even export/import 1 osimage.

# time xcat-inventory import -t osimage -f rhels8.0-ppc64le-statelite-compute.yaml
Importing object: rhels8.0-ppc64le-statelite-compute
