Matthieu Morel commented on S4-7:
---------------------------------
Not sure this should be handled in the communication layer. Ensuring messages
are not lost requires some form of acknowledgement, which might be better
implemented at a higher level, where more information on the structure of the
application is available.
> Netty to tolerate network glitches and connection loss

> Key: S4-7
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/S4-7
> Project: Apache S4
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> NettyEmitter connects to different partitions and creates channels over which
> it communicates to other listeners.
> It suffers from the following issues --
> 1. If the underlying topology changes, the channels and the associated
> connections are not updated.
> 2. If a connection gets disconnected, it stays disconnected.
> 3. If for any reason, a connection can't be made, send() drops the message to
> be sent.
> The solution is to -
> 1. Maintain a bounded messageQueue for each destination partition - if a
> connection does not exist, the message should be queued.
> 2. Maintain a map of the channel used for each destination partition - update
> this map on changes to topology, or on send() in case of disconnections.
> 3. Every time a (re-)connection is made, send the queued messages first.
