Actually I think group type == group.name and group instance id == group.alias
Thanks Martin From: Martin Eppel (meppel) Sent: Friday, November 14, 2014 5:13 PM To: dev@stratos.apache.org Subject: [Grouping][enhancing event definition] - group definition, groupId - adding group definition, instance Id to instance events In the grouping specification we also discussed adding a group definition and a group id to the instance events (InstanceActivatedEvent, InstanceMaintenanceModeEvent, InstanceReadyToShutdownEvent, InstanceStartedEvent). The group definition would identify something like the group type (=== alias ?) and the group id would allow to identify a group instance (of a specific group definition / type). Examples: , + scaling up multiple instances of a group, same group definition but different group instance ids + A dependency becomes faulty which would for example require termination of all dependents in the group (and subsequent groups if nested). Restoring the dependencies would also recreate a new group of the same definition but with new instance id (and subsequently the same would be the case for nested groups). WDYT ? Thanks Martin
