[paho-dev] Paho Java client for MQTTv5 - Feedback / Suggestions needed

Hi All,
 
In anticipation of the MQTTv5 spec being formalised we want to start looking at building a new Java client that supports it. By building a new client from scratch, it allows us to take advantage of a more moden JDK / JRE, lessons learnt from the past and of course feedback from the community.
 
The rough idea currently is to build it in a similar way to the existing mqttv3 client, i.e. use similar naming conventions / APIs (MqttAsyncClient etc..) but to make changes where appropriate so that the development experiance for those wishing to use the library is a lot easier. We could also bundle and wrap the existing mqttv3 client inside the mqttv5 client so that in the event that the broker does not support MQTT v5, the client can gracefully fall back to 3.1 or 3.1.1 whilst still exposing the modern API.
 
Before I or anyone else starts development on this though, we could really use your feedback and suggestions as to how you would like to use the new client or how you think the existing client could be improved!
 
So... If you can think of anything, please tell us!
 
 
Kind regards,
