Hi, AMQP 1.0 defines a way to force a sending link to exhaust its credit via a drain flag in the Flow frame (see the flow control section in the spec).
Hate to admit my ignorance, but how does one properly drain a link using the Proton engine api? >From what I can tell (using the proton-c api here), the application initiates >the drain by calling pn_link_drain() for a given link: pn_link_drain( myLink, X ) How does the application know when the drain has completed? My guess is that the drain can be considered complete when the pn_link_credit() call returns zero (no more credit) - is that correct? Furthermore, it appears that then engine api requires the sending application acknowledge the drain request by calling pn_link_drained() on the sending link. But I don't see an engine interface that notifies the application that a drain has been requested for the link. Are we missing a "get drain flag" api call for the sender link? thanks, -K
