[ https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-816?page=comments#action_36629 ] james strachan commented on AMQ-816: ------------------------------------
Was talking about this possible new feature with some users the other day and we tried to come up with a name to refer to this new kinda transport. I was previously struggling to think of one - then we ended up using the term 'jedi'. The name has kinda stuck - I think its cool :) So we could call this the *jedi:* transport :) > new transport for load balancing client requests across many brokers > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-816 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-816 > Project: ActiveMQ > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: james strachan > Fix For: 4.2 > > > Rather than creating store and forward networks, it might be nice to have a > kind of composite transport where... > * consumers are created on each broker found/discovered. This allows messages > to be sent to any broker and consumed by any consumer > * producers could dynmically choose which broker to send a message to (or > could just pick one broker per session/producer) > this allows for a load balancing layer at the client side which avoids the > need for store/forward networks (which results in more network traffic and > often increases load on the brokers). > So it basically pushes load back to the clients. The downside of this appoach > is that the clients have more connections to brokers - but given the linear > scalability of this, it sounds a great idea to me at least :) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
