Hi Devs, We have discussed about the importance of a light weight cartridge agent in several mail threads since existing agent had been written in Java and running a Java runtime inside a cartridge instance is a performance overhead as well as a costly operation. Here I would like to initiate that (writing a Python based cartridge agent) with the requirements which mainly required for it.
First of all we have to implement Python clients for the communication mechanisms used in agent. Cartridge agent mainly use two communicate mechanisms, 1. Communicate with Complex Event Processor using thrift 2. Communicate with Message Broker using AMQP To full fill the requirement #1, we have to write a python thrift client and I'm currently working on it. Highly appreciate your thoughts on this.
