Regarding my company, as big users of JMeter we nearly use all elements within JMeter either to script or load test except for LDAP, Mail and Listeners I mentionned. Also looking at various blogs I think nearly all elements are used. Regarding download Size, it will only increase by 1.2 mb and it is not an argument today taking into account the low price of disk space. >> I am concerned that this is another addition that is specific some 3rd >> party software, rather than a generic solution which can be used with >> multiple 3rd party code. >> > Try to find generic solution for this, I don't see any. > >> The code is harder to test (because it needs a 3rd party installion) >> and therefore harder to maintain. >> It is dependent on the 3rd party API. >> > I don't think it is, look at code it is pretty simple in terms of features, it sends simple data using a simple format. Regarding Graphite Listener there is no real third party library , it is just a writing on a socket in a very simple format and it could be unit tested. commons-math3 is used to compute Percentile (it would be useful in a lot of places) and commons-pool2 is to enable pooling of socket, it could in the future replace excalibur deprecated libraries > >> I think this is the sort of plugin that should probably be hosted >> externally. >> Not because of license issues, but because of the maintenance and size >> issues. >> > > Perhaps, the Apache Extras can be a good candidate to hosting this kind of > plugins: > http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/hosting/ > > http://community.apache.org/apache-extras/faq.html > It would take us a lot of effort to start a project in it. And you can't ask user to go to X number of websites to have a full featured solution. I think we should open a poll on user mailing list to ask user their opinion and see what it gives. If we get no reaction, then I will propose it to a third party library like jmeter-plugins as I think it is nearly always a companion of core JMeter due to the nice graphs at least. > > Milamber > > > > >> On 27 December 2013 16:25, Philippe Mouawad <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> ok, sorry for being impatient :) >>> >>> On Friday, December 27, 2013, Milamber wrote: >>> >>> Le 27/12/2013 17:05, Philippe Mouawad a ecrit : >>>> >>>> Hello, >>>>> Any feedback ? >>>>> Agree for commit ? >>>>> >>>>> Please wait some days.
