----------------------------------
Summary: Document libprocess message delivery semantics
Key: MESOS-3871
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3871
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Documentation
Components: documentation, libprocess
Reporter: Neil Conway
Priority: Minor
What are the semantics of {{send()}} in libprocess? Specifically, does
libprocess guarantee that messages will not be dropped, reordered, or
duplicated? These are important properties to understand when building software
on top of libprocess.
Clearly message drops are allowed. Message reordering _appears_ to be allowed,
although it should only happen in corner cases (see MESOS-3870). Duplicate
message delivery probably can't happen.
