HI Julian, Thank you for your kind reply and understanding.
I've been working on sharing the work load of distributed stream processing between the edge and the cloud. So what I have been doing now is running edgent on both the edge and the cloud. To be specific I was running a part of the edgent streaming topology on the edge where my event sources are located, do some processing there, send the processed stream to the cloud and run the final part of the streaming topology on the cloud to complete the processing there. So basically a big edgent topology partitioned between the edge and the cloud. Does that make sense? I'm currently looking at my next idea and thinking of fault tolerance aspects that could be required. What are your thoughts on fault tolerance requirements of edgent from an industry/real user perspective? (May be I should bring this discussion to a new thread on the list.) Thanks!
