My biggest concern around the blocking is in the case of a worker > crashing. If a single worker crashes this can block the entire topology from > executing until that worker comes back up. In some cases I can see that being > something that you would want. In other cases I can see speed being the > primary concern and some users would like to get partial data fast, rather > then accurate data later. > Could we make it configurable on a follow up JIRA where we can have a max > limit to the buffering that is allowed, before we block, or throw data away > (which is what zeromq does)? > {quote} > If some worker crash suddenly, how to handle the message which was supposed > to be delivered to the worker? > 1. Should we buffer all message infinitely? > 2. Should we block the message sending until the connection is resumed? > 3. Should we config a buffer limit, try to buffer the message first, if the > limit is met, then block? > 4. Should we neither block, nor buffer too much, but choose to drop the > messages, and use the built-in storm failover mechanism? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
