Hi All, As per our initial research on the python based messaging implementation of python cartridge agent and discussion[1] we can summarize our findings as following.
*1.AMQP* Apache ActiveMQ used the AMQP 1.0 protocol. We found C based client library (proton) [2] which can be used with python. But it is a platform dependent library and every time we need to install the libraries based on the architecture and OS version.IMO this will be difficult us to manage as we need to install the libraries based on the platform. Other python libraries(txAMQP ,pika etc) supports AMQP 0.9 which fails to connect with the ActiveMQ. *2.STOMP* We can connect to the ActiveMQ with the STOMP protocol by using the STOMP python client library[3].IMO we can used STOMP with ActiveMQ without worry about the platform based library installation.By considering our scope of the cartridge agent I think it is better to have a platform independence cartridge as far as we can. Then, IMO STOMP based messaging queue implementation will be more manageable when we increase our number of platform supported. WDYT? When comparing the performance of theses two protocols it looks like there are no such huge difference[4].I guess the performance also tightly coupled with the message broker you are using as well.OTOH Apache ActiveMQ recommended way also to used the STOMP with the python[5]. Please share your thoughts on this.
