Hello, It has been a long time that we have in the Pulsar code a new experimental Dispatcher implementation named StreamingDispatcher.
https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/9056 There are many flaky tests about that feature and I believe that it has never been used in Production by anyone, because it happened a few times that we did some changes in the regular Dispatcher and introduced bugs on the StreamingDispacther (usually manifested as flaky tests) I propose to drop the StreamingDispatcher code for Pulsar 3.0. I don't think we need a PIP for this, it is an experimental code that was never delivered as a production ready feature. If anyone is aware of users please chime in. If anyone wants to sponsor that feature and objects in removing this dead code (that we still have to maintain) please help us in completing the feature. On paper it is a very appealing feature, and I am disappointed in dropping it. On the other hand, this is dead code that we have to maintain with zero benefit Thoughts ? Enrico
