Hi Milind, Hedwig is still in prototype phase so it lacks several features to make it production ready. We are trying to find an engineering team to work on and support it.
(a) Monitoring is one of the big missing pieces to make it production ready. We have some thoughts on it. The simplest solution would be to use JMX style bindings for monitoring and admin purposes. (b) We have designs on non-star topologies and the underlying pieces to support this are there (version vectors for messages published/consumed in all regions). This is something we've thought about since the beginning. However, due to lack of resources, we have not implemented this yet. There are a few enhancements that we know about and will shortly document them either via a wiki page or open jiras for Hedwig. (c) We are in the process of converting some internal documents we have for Hedwig for third party consumption. That's a priority since we definitely want people to know quickly what Hedwig is all about (large scale multi-colo guaranteed delivery pub/sub system) and the architecture of it (shared nothing, commodity boxes, ZooKeeper for coordination, Bookkeeper for persistence). We also want to emphasize that all pieces of Hedwig are modular and you can slot in your own implementation for the various parts.
