That is the whole point of having a hierarchical topic based system. Engine would listen for anything coming from vdsm, vdsm would listen for anything that comes from engine using a path wildcard. Just use a /verb/<verbName> topic for each verb command automatically and either the same or something like /response/<verbName>/<correlation id> for the answer. There is no reason to distinguish verbs and events. Both are events and the only difference is whether the initiating party is waiting for a response. You need some kind of correlation id for that of course (to identify the specific answer you are waiting for). > I am not sure whether it is good idea for sever to know > what should be send where. The sender always decides what the topic it is. At least in the rest of the broker universe. There is no such thing as a server or client, just publisher and listener for specific message topic wildcard. > Sending to multiple topics is there but selecting a subset to send to one of > them But you never do that, you send to one topic (full path) only and the listener decides what is interesting enough. The tree structure allows that (not sure about our implementation, but all standard brokers support this): /verb/runVm will be received by anybody listening for that or for /verb/* or for /*. The same for /response/runVm/16846158. MOM or hosted engine does not care about which exact command initiated the response and can listen for /response/runVm/*. On the other hand, the engine can be blocked in the call until the right response arrives.
