[cosmos-dev] SCOPE CLARIFICATION: for i9 - multiplicity of Domain / Broker is out of scope

All,

 

Since there has been so much discussion on this topic, and this consideration has so many downstream implications…  I wanted to reiterate what we decided in the Arch call today:

 

I9 will not address anything to do with multiply Brokers running under a Domain.  I9 simply deals with one Management Domain and one Data Broker.

 

Thanks,

Jimmy Mohsin

+1... This also keeps things simple for now.

 

Srinivas,

Hope this answers your question in this regard.

I agree with Hubert on this.  We went with the one broker solution to keep it as simple as possible. We can re-evaluate after 1.0.

Both the domain and broker are put in the same war file for several reasons:

1. We only claim to support a single broker in this release, so it's better to make the domain vs. broker distinction more transparent.  With only one broker, the domain really has no practical importance.

2. Smaller footprint: Both domain and broker actually share the same implementation.  They are both service groups.  Packaging domain and broker separately would mean duplicating the code.  It's just a matter of changing a configuration file to add or remove a service group.  

3. Ease of deployment:  Having one fewer web app to worry about will arguably make the demo simpler.


Having sa id that, the currently implementation does support the multiple broker scenario.  You can deploy the cosmos.war on several servers, and assign one of them the role of the management domain.  On a sever where you just want to assume the role a broker, or the management domain (i.e. not both), update the muse.xml file to remove the corresonding resource-type section.  (I have not documented this feature.)  


It was a deliberate design decision to support a two-level address lookup architecture, and not to claim support for multiple brokers.  I would defer to Mark, Don and Jimmy to confirm this decision.  The test plan should reflect our support statement.  


At the moment, I don't see the need to have two separate war files for the domain and broker.

[cosmos-dev] i9 QA - Testing with multiple Data Brokers

 





Team,

 
As you know, in COSMOS 1.0, till date, we have been proceeding with the one Management Domain and one Broker model.

 
Having multiple instances / types of Brokers is something we deferred to a later release.

 
That said, do you think QA should still test the situation where there is ONE Management Domain and MULTIPLE instances of Data Brokers?  What would the value be of such a test at this point?

 
If you f eel this is a good thing to do in i9, do we need to open an ER to put the Domain and Broker in different bundles?

 
Thanks,

Jimmy Mohsin

Query from Srinivas Doma

1.      Single cosmos.war (domain and broker) bundle

-       Currently we have domain and broker under single bundle? Can we have them in different bundles, so that we

can configure one domain and multiple brokers (either on same machine or on different machines)
