Robert Nishihara commented on ARROW-2045:
-----------------------------------------
Glad to hear that it's working well! And thanks for filing the issue.
Which combination of the above put/get methods would you use to ensure message
delivery?
Another approach would be to have the ability to "pin" an object in memory so
it doesn't get evicted until it is "unpinned" (potentially by a different
process).
> More primitive operations on plasma store

> Key: ARROW-2045
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2045
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Plasma (C++)
> Reporter: Yuxin Wu
> Priority: Minor
>
> Hi Developers,
> I found plasma store very useful – it's fast and simple to use. However, I
> think there are more operations that can make it a more general IPC/messaging
> tool and potentially helpful in more scenarios.
> Conceptually, an object store can support the following "put" methods:
> # Evict when full
> # Wait for space when full, perhaps with a timeout (i.e. blocking)
> # Return failure when full (i.e. non-blocking)
> And the following "get" methods:
> # Wait for the object to appear (i.e. blocking)
> # Return failure when object doesn't exist (i.e. non-blocking)
> # Remove the object after get
> Some of the above features can be implemented with others. But some of them
> are primitives (e.g. return failure when full) that needs to be supported.
>
> My use case: I wanted to use plasma to send/recv large buffers between
> processes, i.e. build a message passing interface on top of shared memory.
> Plasma has made it quite easy (only have to send/recv the id) and efficient
> (faster than unix pipe). But "evict when full" is now the only available
> "put" method, so that could create many trouble if I want to ensure message
> delivery.
