Yes that’s an interesting point. First off here we are describing an ad-hoc model where we push changes to Debezium and then Kafka. But the underlying temp queue mechanism I described on the Dec 9th email might be used to harden the code pushing changes to the sources you describe and that even improve the continuous queries engine and the Spark DStream integration I suppose. Maybe we want a more generic mechanism relying on that temp queue system to plug a list of consumers. And focus on Spark Stream, Continuous queries and Debezium as a first set of “clients”. For the ability to read back in history, I am happy to force consumers to go through a Kafka queue. As others pointed out, if we make Infinispan a durable queue system, we are making a different Infinispan than what it is today and this is probably undesirable. Emmanuel
