@bdoyle0182 The initial intent of this work is to make it possible to have a pool of containers that are not managed by traditional lb->kafka->invoker path, and instead, the controller would be able to place calls to those containers directly. The original motivation for this is to switch the approach from having the container which is bound to the action and instead to have the container (or pool of containers) bound to a tenant. We will be talking more about this approach soon in a separate issue/PR. This PR enables a way to come up with other activation strategies of such kind later. It is possible that there will be two container pools, one with an invoker (managed by sharding lb) and one without. Or just one, and the invoker would be completely disabled. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
