-------------------------------
Summary: Introduce github.com/uber-go/go-helix as a Golang
participant client library
Key: HELIX-671
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-671
Project: Apache Helix
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.6.x
Reporter: Zhijin Li
TLDR: Trying to get [https://github.com/uber-go/go-helix] listed on
[https://helix.apache.org/ClientLibraries.html].
Long version:
Uber is building a sharding infrastructure on top of Apache Helix (thanks to
the awesome framework!). As part of the effort, since Go is a first-class
citizen at Uber, we have been developing a Helix participant module in Go. To
contribute back to the open-source community and get all the open-source
benefits, we open-sourced the library at https://github.com/uber-go/go-helix in
Dec 2017.
We realized there's a page https://helix.apache.org/ClientLibraries.html for
listing Helix client libraries, and thought go-helix can be a good candidate.
Here're the reasons:
* After researching, we didn't find any known-good Helix library in Go.
* go-helix is production proven in Uber-scale environment, and still being
actively developed and maintained.
* go-helix works with the Apache Helix Java controller (Uber's production
setup).
* go-helix contains good documentations.
* Go is getting non-trivial popularity/attractions in the industry.
Particularly for go-helix, it has gained 28 stars, 13 unique clones, 154 unique
visitors, 1k+ views on Github since launched recently.
* With the Helix website's help, go-helix will get better
visibility/discoverability, making it more likely to get more mature and
reliable at a quicker speed.
