| Re: [paho-dev] maxInflight window size in ClientState |
Hi,Dave Thanks for your reply! My situation was a bit rare base on my project and system architecture. This Client was actually a "server" sitting and always keeps connection with mqtt broker, it sends and receives messages from our database to mqtt broker, and furthermore mqtt broker pushes out to the mobile devices, we don't implement waitForCompletion() as we might need to send a huge amount of messages at the same time, like 200 for example, which without implementing callback method, looks more efficient. From the source code, base on my understanding, the maxinFlight value is just the size of pending messages list for which a sender thread to handle and push out the message to the mqtt broker. In other word, maxInflight value is only related to memory base on the number of messages set in maxinFlight? If memory was not an issue(in my project, this client runs on a large server ), does it means I can set this value to a large number? Thanks again!
Regards,

A buffered client would enable messages to be sent when there is no connectivity up to a maximum configurable amount. This is a reasonable amount of work to implement. In the meantime there is no reason not to make the max inflight window configurable - would be handy if you can raise a bug on the Paho bugzilla so that it can be tracked. The inflight window effects how messages can be delivered in parallel from the client to the server. The bigger the window the more state needs to be stored in the client. It will also be useful for devices that are more constrained and only wish to allow 1 or a small amount of messages to be inflight. This email has been processed by SmoothZap - www.smoothwall.net |
