hi all, I am new to zeromq and very much intrigued by its message pattern support. As I try to put these concepts into the context of large-scale application for a mental exercise, I am not sure if I am thinking along the right way.
Say I have a server/client architecture with a large but relative stable set of clients (# of client could amount to a million). A frequent need is that server side wants ALL clients to take certain action and hope for some confirmation that these actions indeed take place. SUB/PUB patterns seems design for cases where it doesn't matter if you miss some updates, and it doesn't seem to provide any feedback channel for publisher. REP/REQ patterns means that server side needs to maintain a HUGE number of connections with all clients, and have to wait for responses from all clients. Is there a better way to think or address these issues, or REQ/REP is THE way for it? Thanks Feiyi
