Oliver Lietz commented on SLING-6745:
-------------------------------------
bq. Wouldnt it be better to improve the MoM API and fix where it doesn't work ?
That sounds reasonable. Would it be possible to provide a bridge or layer to
provide compatibility with Sling's existing Event/Job API?

> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Stefan Egli

>
> In job handling to scale for larger deployment it is essential to be able to
> execute a job outside of the local instance. This can be in another instance
> in the same cluster (ie when ontop of documentMk) or outside of the cluster
> (in AEM eg via
> [offloading|https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/deploy/configuring/offloading.html]).
> In both cases Sling Event (Resource) stores the job in the repository
> (/var/eventing/jobs).
> It could be useful to have another variant of job execution that is managed
> entirely outside of the repository. With SLING-5645 a new API was created to
> support messaging-based implementations that would fit in this category as
> they map a job to a (one or a few) message(s).
> This new SLING-5645 Job-API is not entirely compatible with sling.event.api
> though.
> This ticket is to track an effort to provide a messaging-based implementation
> for sling.event.api - namely for Kafka. The goal is to become a drop-in
> replacement of sling event without much need for change on the user side of
> the sling.event.api.
> This might not right away become part of sling, but might start off in the
> contrib section - to underscore that it's not something supported, at least
> as of yet.
