Hello Guys,
Let me share some requirement we have. Right now, as part of the ProcessDefinition information we store in the Data Index, we record for example the processId and the serviceURL. That information is good for users to know, for instance, which are the existing ProcessDefitnions, and, based on that information, they can for example start a new process instance by concatenating the serviceURL + “/” + processId. In the context of a SonataFlow Operator driven setups, users need to know if a ProcessDefinition is still “available”. For example, users can deploy a WF, use it for some time, and then, decide to un-deploy it. From this point, no more instances of that workflow can be created. The user has just decided to remove that deployment from the ecosystem. However, in the data-index, that definition is still recorded. And users want to keep it there, since they want to keep consistent information about the already executed instances etc. (The intention is to not introduce any information deleting procedure at the DI, etc.) On the other hand, users need a way to filter which definitions are still “available” by using the standard graphql api. What we are evaluating is to include a “status” field in the ProcessDefinitions, with the values available/unavailable, and, that will be updated as usual via ClouldEvents. In the case of SonataFlow, those events will be produced by the operator, which governs the deployment/undeployment, etc. Other setups might just ignore that field. Note: we are looking for a very minimalist approach that lets us record the situation, and facilitate SonataFlow users to query that situation by using the standard Graphql api. This is not any sort of more elaborated clustering management/monitoring/etc. solution. Independently of fine grained details about the event to introduce, which carries more or less the information we are already sending in the other DI events. >From the point of view of let’s say non SonataFlow setups, do you guys see any objections? Regards, Walter. ResponderReenviar Añadir reacción
