Howdie,
I'm wondering if it's possible to implement my use case and what the best
implementation of that might look like.
I'd like to have a bi-directional set of channel messages chunked
independently and multiplexed across a TCP connection. Something that
looks like this:
ChannelMessage(id: Long, msg: Any) <-->
ChannelByteString(id: Long, bytes: ByteString) <-->
Seq[ByteString] <--> // The ChannelByteString chunked up
TCP
The chunking and serializing is clear to me and I've got a pipeline for
that now. What I'm lost on is the dynamic nature of the channels; the TCP
connection is set up ahead of time, and then parties on either end of it
negotiate a temporary channel on which they can communicate within it.
i.e. there's plexing going on in there.
Fan-In and Fan-Out seem to be entirely appropriate to solve this problem,
but... I don't want a 1->n or n->1 where n is fixed. I need n to be a
variable.
What's the best way to do this? Am I looking to using Actors to solve this
problem, something more like this:
ChannelMessage(id: Long, msg: Any) <-->
ChannelByteString(id: Long, bytes: ByteString) <-->
=== Actor bridge in here that can install and remove channels ===
Seq[ByteString] <--> // The ChannelByteString chunked up
TCP
Thanks a lot. It really looks like streams have come a very long way since
I last looked. I haven't wrapped my head around them very well as of yet,
but I definitely have a feel of the power in them. Bravo :)
Cheers,
Derek
