Folks, It was decided at the oslo.messaging forum at summit that the pika driver will be marked as deprecated [1] for removal.
The pika driver is another rabbitmq-based driver. It was developed as a replacement for the current rabbit driver (rabbit://). The pika driver is based on the 'pika' rabbitmq client library [2], rather than the kombu library [3] of the current rabbitmq driver. The pika library was recommended by the rabbitmq community a couple of summits ago as a better client than the kombu client. However, testing done against this driver did not show "appreciable difference in performance or reliability" over the existing rabbitmq driver. Given this, and the recent departure of some very talented contributors, the consensus is to deprecate pika and recommend users stay with the original rabbitmq driver. The plan is to mark the driver as deprecated in Pike, removal in Rocky. thanks, [1] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BOS_Forum_Oslo.Messaging_driver_recommendations (~ line 80) [2] https://github.com/pika/pika [3] https://github.com/celery/kombu -- Ken Giusti (kgiu...@gmail.com) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
