Meetings2011-03-17¶
Topics:- Michael ;)
- Jan ;)
- URIs...
Message Fragmentation¶
- Only c++ right now
- missing:
- Python
- Java
- Common LISP
- missing:
- blocks of size 100k
- recombination missing
- Notification contains total number of blocks and number of current block
- spread UNSAFE_MESS does not guarantee sequencing of messages -> recombination with ordering and waiting required in input port
- What to do with missing messages (e.g. directly when starting a subscription there could be only the last half of a message received)
- simple strategy: Timeout for finalization of a message to dispatch
- Configuration of block size as a simple hack in current class...
Jan's Question Collection¶
Names¶
- Event Payload: User data in an event
- Wire Type: data type of serialized representation, e.g. bytes, has a language mapping
- Wire Schema: schema of serialized data, descriptor, IDL?
- dependent of wire type
- Converter:
- Currently only for event payload
- serializes payload to wire type according to wire schema
- and vice versa
Why Ports Bidirectional?¶
- Sebastian: one implementation is enough based on common ground
- Jan: Current scheme restricts usage cardinalities
- Still could be useful in future
Should (Spread) Ports Know Who Is Receiving Data¶
- Spread: group members
- no sending would be required if there is no receiver
- Sebastian: not important as usecase
- Naming: requires a more global strategy to provide kind of membership information
How Much Functionality and Dynamics in Subscriptions?¶
- updates of filters etc.
- which changes of a subscription can or have to trigger naming events?
- First iteration: subscriptions are immutable
Filter Whitelisting¶
Ports should mark which filter was already filtered in the port -> avoid filtering twice
