Hi devs,
I would like to introduce a first partial beta of the event network
distribution system in the 2.0M3.
Note that the module itself is complete what will need to be done
with
debugging is making everything in core use the new Observation
Manager
instead of the old notification service.
For this release i plan to:
- add the remote observation manager module (disabled by default)
- implement a EventConverter for documents events (event convert
has a
generic converter for Serializables events but documents converted
has
XWikiDocument and XWikiContext we want to filter before sending it to
the network).
- make XWiki cache store listen to remote doc event to invalidate the
cache accordingly (this is the main thing that will bring event based
clustering support to XWiki, all the rest is already supposed to
update its cache based on events remote or not)
I also need to reorg a little maven project to have current
observation and remote observation as sub modules of an observation
parent.
* xwiki-core-observation-parent
* xwiki-core-observation
* xwiki-core-observation-remote
I'd much prefer to use xwiki-core-observation as the parent (as we're
doing in lots of places already).
I think using parent is bad practice we have in a few places.
You could name the module xwiki-core-observation-local or xwiki-core-
observation-api or xwiki-core-observation-default.
For future, -api + -local + -remote sound ideally balanced to me. So
maybe xwiki-core-observation-local is best?
Is the remote code using the api from observation or not?
If not, then I guess default is better than local for the other module.
Thanks
-Vincent
For now and refactor xwiki-core-observation latter to cut it into
api/implementation but i would like to do the 2.0M3 release as soon as
possible so better to not do it in a hurry so this can wait the RC.
