Matthieu Morel commented on S4-62: ---------------------------------- Matt Welsh's feedback on SEDA ( http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2010/07/retrospective-on-seda.html ) could be taken into account. S4 follows a similar stage-driven architecture. Whereas it might be difficult to scale out by grouping stages into a single "thread pool domain" as suggested in the blog post, an interesting recommendation is to put "_a separate thread pool and queue in front of a group of stages that have long latency or nondeterministic runtime, such as performing disk I/O._" This corresponds to the proposal of this ticket. The platform could even provide this feature automatically when streams or PEs are identified as I/O consumers. > Multithreaded Streams > --------------------- > > Key: S4-62 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/S4-62 > Project: Apache S4 > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.5 > Reporter: Daniel Gómez Ferro > Attachments: S4-62-multithreaded-streams.patch, > S4-62-multithreaded-streams.patch > > > Currently, each Stream has one Thread in charge of processing the incoming > events on the appropriate PE. If one PE blocks it's execution while > processing an event, the whole Stream would be blocked. The current solution > is for a PE to manage his own async thread, which I don't think it's nice. > It would be better to have a configurable number of threads that would take > care of the execution of the incoming events. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
