Hi All,
Since we are trying to provide a consistent API for all our clients,
it would be beneficial to have a connection string that can be used
across all clients.
This is a topic that has been widely discussed but without much consensus.
The c++ client and python uses a simple scheme.
It specifies a url which serves as the initial contact point and a
bunch of options as a map.
One of those options is reconnect_urls, a comma separated list of urls
to connect to during failover.
I propose we use the same format for the Java API.
What about JMS ?
----------------------------
We currently use a format that is quite error prone and ugly.
On the other hand you cannot pass map of options either, everything
has to be included in String format.
Therefore for JMS I propose the following.
1. A connection string that contains a URL and an optional list of
properties (for connection options) using the same syntax as address
strings
url ; {k1:v1, k2 :{k1:v1} ...}
2. For backwards compatibility the old connection URL will be
supported. It will be parsed and converted into a data structure that
represents the above.
(We use a similar strategy for BURL and Address strings in the new code)
What do you folks think?
Regards,
Rajith
