Alan Conway commented on PROTON-1512:
-------------------------------------
It has been pointed out that it is not easy to tell whether an outgoing
delivery in proton actually has had any frames sent or not. PN_FLOW events are
ambiguous, they can mean data sent on wire OR credit received from remote so
that's not reliable. Need to determine if we can use existing functions to
determine that reliably, and if not add one. Also we should probably have
abort() automatically drop the message if nothing is already sent and send an
aborted=true frame only if the message has been partially framed already.
> Expose the "aborted" flag for transferred deliveries

> Key: PROTON-1512
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1512
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: proton-c
> Reporter: Ted Ross
> Assignee: Alan Conway
> Labels: api
> Fix For: proton-c-0.18.0
>
>
> As we develop support for message streaming in Qpid Dispatch Router (i.e.
> frames for large multi-frame messages are forwarded to destinations as they
> arrive, before the complete message is received), there is a need to handle
> the case where a received message is never completed.
> The AMQP protocol has a provision for this in the "aborted" flag in the
> transfer performative. If the router is in the process of streaming a large
> message from sender to receiver and the sender drops before completing the
> delivery, the router can send a transfer to the downstream receivers with the
> "aborted" flag set. This would indicate that the message should not be
> processed and would not cause any framing errors on the link.
> Proton does not currently expose this capability in its API (There is a
> pn_link_abort in the C header file, but it is commented out and not
> implemented).
> In order to properly handle the failure cases for message streaming, this
> feature must be usable in Proton.
