Hi Guys,
I think that's a fair point, though to be fair the approach Alex suggested is really just an instance of a message bridge, which is a standard Integration Pattern. It's clearly not ideal but ultimately you have an integration problem to solve. We've had similar scenarios bridging between qpid and ActiveMQ - in our case we used Apache Camel as it has a qpid endpoint and integrates well with ActiveMQ, but ultimately the issues are pretty similar to yours.

Also in many topologies it's pretty common to federate brokers - I guess it depends on your architecture but a fairly common pattern in a geographically distributed system would be for clients to publish to a local broker and for that broker to be federated to other locations, it might be slightly counterintuitive but in that sort of scenario you are likely to improve reliability of the overall system and certainly improve things from the perspective of the publishing client. Clearly if your architecture comprised a single C++ broker with clients publishing/consuming directly to it then there's a potential reduction in reliability due to probabilities (MTBF) being multiplicative on components connected in series.

One option (though adds a little more complexity) would be to to stand up a couple of parallel instances of the Java broker and load balance between them, that's useful from a scaling perspective if you have "peaky" performance characteristics but more usefully if one falls over the other carries on.

Sorry that I can't be of more practical help, but hopefully I can reassure you that the sort of problems/choices/compromises you're having to make are pretty common sometimes it's a case of gritting teeth and doing what's "least worst" as opposed to elegant - that'll be the difference between engineering and theory :-)

I expect most of us are going to be faced with "comedy" integration problems when AMQP 1.0 starts to roll out. I *really hope* hint hint!!! that the qpid brokers for AMQP 1.0 are going to be bilingual 0.10/1.0 or I'm going to have some fun....

Good luck
Frase

Hi Alex,

Thanks a lot, but this sounds pretty horrible, I suppose.
Introducing new java brokers just to forward  messages to c++ broker increases 
complexity of the overall system and decreases its reliability.

Best Regards,
Sergey

Subject: Re: Erlang client for Qpid C++ Broker

Hi Sergey,

You cannot use 0.9.1 amqp client with broker supporting only 0.10 amqp protocol.

Java Qpid Broker supports both 0.10 and 0.9.1 protocols.

You can publish messages with Erling client into Qpid Java Broker (or RabitMQ 
broker) and use Qpid java client to consume messages from that broker and 
publish them into c++ Qpid broker.

Kind Regards,
Alex Rudyy

Hi there,

I have to use qpid c++ broker 0.12 from erlang.
Are there any erlang clients that can be used to connect to the qpid c++ 
broker, except for rabbitmq client?
If there isn’t, have anybody succeeded in connecting rabbitmq erlang client 
that supports amqp 0.9.1 to the qpidd c++ broker that supports amqp 0.10 only?

Best Regards,
Sergey
