Re: [iot-wg] Future Requirements and Releases of Paho
|
Hi Jens,
I would agree with you about building on top of the existing
implementations. We have had feedback several times from first time
users of the APIs, that they expect the API to reconnect automatically
for instance, rather than having to code a callback routine themselves.
So I was thinking that we could add *very* simple implementations of
automatic reconnect and publishing when not connected. The automatic
reconnect could be just a default connectionLost callback handler.
Publishing when not connected would involve some internal changes, but
should be minimal.

Hello Ian,
I also could think of these enhancements as a layer on top of these
existing libraries. So bare protocol implementations can stay stable
while the extensions, building on top of it.

Hello all,
I'm wondering what the future of Paho should look like. From two
points of view: functionality and participation in the wider Eclipse
community.
The reason is that barring a few relatively minor enhancements
(automatic reconnect, publishing when not connected, persistence), I
don't see that the existing client libraries (Java, Javascript, C,
Python) need a lot of new work, and could stabilize within the near
future.
There may be new components - client libraries in different languages,
or a different style of library for a different purpose (like the
embedded C/C++ APIs I'm working on at the moment).
So the first question: are there Paho features, additional to the
current libraries, or new components, that would be useful to the
Eclipse IoT community?
The second question is about participation in Mars and future
simultaneous releases. If the Paho components were stable but still
useful, how would Paho participate in a simultaneous release?
