Hi guys,
what about releasing a 2.0.0-M4 soon ? As I've worked those last few
weeks on MINA in order to get it used in Directory, and as it's a
success so far (works great, performances are better - around 10% speed
increas -), I may need a release to get what I have worked on be put
back in Directory trunk.
Also I think we fixed some important bugs, plus done some cleaning and
javadoced a bit more the code.
So wdyt ?
Also : there are a few more issues associated with 2.0.0-M4, and I think
we can try to fix some of them, as I can wait a few days or even a
couple of weeks before merging my own code in Directory.
I also think it would be a good idea to define a new roadmap, injecting
into it most of the discussion and suggestions we have had those last
two monts. Namely :
- Removing of MessageSent
- Chain refactoring
- Moving from autoextensible IoBuffer to something more versatile and
with a zero-copy strategy
- Merging SessionCreate and SessionOpened events
- Rethinking the preAdd/PostAdd and preRemove/postRemove methods
- Checking the SSL Filter to see if it should be a filter
- Refactoring the handler to make it a Filter
- Adding a simpler ProtocolCodec Filter
- Get rid of mandatory statistics
- Suppress the double call to Write() done to get the number of sent
messages
- Define more precisely the Future we are using (why don't we inherit
from the java 5 Future<V> class ?)
- and may be more.
I think we also have to determinate if we should do all that for 2.0, or
if we must release 2.0 asap, and start a 3.0 branch. We already have
discussed extensively about this dilemma,without stating a position, and
I can't see how we can go without a vote.
Again, wdyt ?
Thanks !
PS: Even if it was not a piece of cake, MINA 2 migration in ADS went
pretty smooth, considering that we have 5 servers using it (LDAP, NTP,
KERBEROS, DNS, DHCP, plus the internal replication system). As I said,
performance is better. I must admit that I spent more time to play with
MINA's internal than to do the migration (3 weeks to compare with the 3
days it took me to migrate). I run the server with a small load test (1
million request done, with many clients), and everything went fine. I
will do a bigger tests in the next few weeks, trying to make the server
run a couple of days, being hammered by thousands of requests per second :)
