Hi Arnaud,
I think you've misunderstood here. It's great to have Etienne onboard, and
ideal to have someone with the skills he has working with us.
I don't know who has misunderstood who but I do appreciate your effort
to help.
I think that a good understanding of the broker would be a great start
(possibly vital ??) for anyone who'd like to be working on the clustering so
that's why I'm suggesting some familiarisation. The JIRA has a link to Alan
Conway's design notes fyi.
As Rob said, there is going to have talks about the new 0.10 (1.0)
broker. Having an outsider expert view on what cluster should/could be
is to me a real asset. There is no need of a deep understanding of the
current broker code to contribute.
Working on Apache Qpid is also not like other things (apologies Etienne if
you're an old Apache hand) - so doing something small is a good intro to
that.
We've discussed in the past encouraging people to provide smaller pieces of
work to get started - rather than the one JIRA with big code patch approach.
We are only talking about designing the solution and the idea is to
start a JIRA for discussing it. Nobody has been talking about one JIRA
with a big code path approach.
This is, of course, only my view. As you'll have no doubt seen, I'm trying
to be helpful here. I think you've misinterpreted what I've said for some
reason.
Maybe you are too much code focussed. Nobody has been talking about code
yet. I believe that Rob suggestion is great, we need a virtual
whiteboarding session and a JIRA could be a good start. Once the design
is done, we will be in a better position for dispatching the coding
tasks (that we hope are going to be fragmented in small pieces) among
interested people.
