Hey all, This is a fairly important piece. Basically we want the ability to gossip custom objects as our first big shiny feature. We also want to be able to use different protocols TCP/UDP.
https://github.com/apache/incubator-gossip/compare/master...edwardcapriolo:GOSSIP-13 The challenge was that since the current code only sends one-way messages there was no simple way to say "hey thanks for the message but you are not part of the cluster" with UDP. So this patch implements GossipCore class which supports send and sendOneWay. While these implementations may not be the "perfect" abstraction yet, I believe they pave the way to implement the above goals. They will likely go a few rounds of refactor when the following features are implemented. If anyone has any comments let me know and I will address them otherwise I would like to commit within 3-4 days and move onto the custom objects bit. TX, Edward
