> This looks good! > > It's not immediately clear to me how this compares to the existing federation functionality. Can you clarify that? Also, when would one choose one over the other? Does this make the existing federation obsolete? This implementation isn't itself intended to be a replacement of the core based federation implementation as that would likely result in breakage of existing users of that federation which wouldn't fly in a minor version update. This implementation exists on the AMQP broker connection feature to avoid breaking those existing users. Folks doing AMQP messaging might chose this implementation as it would then result in AMQP messages remaining in that form throughout their lifetime avoiding conversions to / from Core as they cross the core based federation consumer links. Another reason would be that unlike the core based implementation this implementation supports two way federation or simply "downstream" federation over the single outgoing connection avoiding the need to configure connection details for the remote to connect back to the local server which is how the core based version works for "downstream" configurations (which might not be possible in cloud based brokers, or might not be allowed due to firewall rules etc). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
