Marnie McCormack updated QPID-1303:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: M4)
Descoping items not being worked on for M4 into Unknown Fix Version for now
> I/O layer requirements need definition
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-1303
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1303
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Java Broker, Java Client
> Affects Versions: M4
> Reporter: Aidan Skinner
> Assignee: Aidan Skinner
>
> The Qpid broker has displayed some undesirable behaviour when under heavy
> load, with high volume persistent messaging exposing some limitations to the
> way in which the broker manages the processing of that load.
> Team discussions & analysis have led us to the existing i/O layer on the
> broker, and specifically the way that MINA handles the stream of messages in
> this scenario. It seems most likely that we now have a pressing need to
> replace the MINA I/O packages with an improved solution - where the main
> focus of this replacement is to improve, significantly, the reliability of
> the Java broker under heavy load.
> This task describes the work required to define a clear technical
> specification for an I/O layer for the Qpid Java Broker. As the cost & risk
> implied by this replacement is substantial, we must be sure that we have a
> quality definition of the requirements the new code must meet.
> The deliverables for this task are:
> - A Technical Specification for the new I/O layer which includes:
> 1. A written set of numbered & prioritised functional and non-functional tech
> requirements (ranked High/Med/Low). This can be done using a wiki page or a
> document in word format.
> 2. A completed review process, taking place on Apache Qpid and engaging the
> community. This process should be documented alkongside the spec, including
> actions taken.
> 3. Updates resulting from a completed review reflected back into the spec &
> signed off.
> Once we have a complete tech spec, we can then design, spec & estimate the
> work required. This will include a review of existing code written by Rob
> Godfrey in this space, to compare with the spec etc and ascertain fit for the
> problem before undertaking further work.
