Re: [paho-dev] Pulling Open Source MQTT Broker into the Eclipse Paho Project

Thanks Andy. I've cc'd Nico in case
he missed the open invitation that went out.
Nico, your participation is most
welcome. Arlen is coordinating this per his note below.

Pulling Open Source MQTT Broker into the Eclipse Paho
Project

I assume that this discussion will take account of community
contributed thoughts on the Paho wiki http://wiki.eclipse.org/Paho/Paho_MQTT_Broker
(and I hope the author of the ideas posted there is invited
to the discussion)

All,
I think it is fairly evident that although the adoption
of MQTT has seen an accelerated uptake recently for many reasons, the availability
of quality open source MQTT Broker implementations has been one of the
key factor. The ease with which developers can download and deploy the
Mosquitto MQTT broker along with the availability of a multitude of MQTT
client implementations on many different platforms and languages has greatly
benefited the MQTT ecosystem at large.
Prior to the Mosquitto MQTT broker availability, IBM made
the executable of their “Really Small Message Broker” or RSMB available
for developers to experiment with in conjunction with the development of
their MQTT client implementations, but the terms of use outside of a development
environment restricted the general adoption of RSMB in the community at
large. Having said this, with RSMB being available for many years now,
it has its fair share of implementations and is well tested.
Considering that the Paho project is focused on the proliferation
of the MQTT protocol (both client and broker implementations) it would
be desirable to collaborate to combine the best of what both Mosquitto
and RSMB bring to the MQTT ecosystem into a single effort in the
Paho Project. I will note here that to date the developers of both RSMB
and Mosquitto have not collaborated and only the API’s are similar in
the implementations. But what I would like to propose is that we
start an investigation into what the logistics would be to combine these
features that would result in a single “Best in Class” open source MQTT
Broker implementation.
Both Roger Light (Mosquitto developer) and IBM have expressed
interest in moving their respective code bases into the Paho project. As
a first step I would propose that we facilitate a call to initially kick
off a conversation on what the process would be. The feedback from
the Paho team and the community at large have all been positive on seeing
this effort kicked off, but without some initial conversations no one knows
what the scope of the integration would be. An initial call and frank discussions
around the two designs would, at a minimum, provide an initial level of
scope and resources required to accomplish this.
We believe that there is a way to do this effectively and
efficiently once we can discuss and understand the design and understand
what resources and commitments would be implied. I would invite anyone
else that would like to participate on this call to contact me and I’ll
add them to the attendee list.
Best Regards, Arlen
