Justin Ross created QPID-5351:
---------------------------------
Summary: Settle on one prefix for Dispatch names
Key: QPID-5351
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5351
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Qpid Dispatch
Reporter: Justin Ross
When we have a chance to clarify a true connection for our users by
using a consistent convention, we should. Here's what we have now:
{noformat}
qpid-dxrouter.conf
qpid-dxrouterd
qdstat
QD_TOOLS_HOME
dx_ for C symbols
qdx for AMQP addresses
{noformat}
A mess! I propose one of the following:
{noformat}
dxrouterd.conf qdxrouterd.conf qdrouterd.conf
dxrouterd qdxrouterd qdrouterd
dxstat qdxstat qdstat
DX_TOOLS_HOME QDX_TOOLS_HOME QD_TOOLS_HOME
dx_ for symbols qdx_ for symbols qd_ for symbols
dx for addresses qdx for addresses qd for addresses
{noformat}
Expressed as a rule: where it's sensible to use a short form, always
use "qd" (or whatever ends up being canonical). Otherwise, spell it
out: qpid/dispatch.
A standard prefix also improves command-line discoverability:
qd[TAB][TAB] shows you all the entrypoints.
I slightly prefer "qd" because it's the simplest abbreviation of Qpid
Dispatch. The patch attached here uses it, but I am quite willing to
supply a new set of patches that use another prefix.
