new transport for load balancing client requests across many brokers
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AMQ-816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-816
Project: ActiveMQ
Type: Improvement
Reporter: james strachan
Fix For: 4.2
Rather than creating store and forward networks, it might be nice to have a
kind of composite transport where...
* consumers are created on each broker found/discovered. This allows messages
to be sent to any broker and consumed by any consumer
* producers could dynmically choose which broker to send a message to (or could
just pick one broker per session/producer)
this allows for a load balancing layer at the client side which avoids the need
for store/forward networks (which results in more network traffic and often
increases load on the brokers).
So it basically pushes load back to the clients. The downside of this appoach
is that the clients have more connections to brokers - but given the linear
scalability of this, it sounds a great idea to me at least :)
