My turn :)
Sorry, I won't help code it (well, maybe a little for the Java part); so I don't know if I have a say in any decision, but I though I should participate as well.
- it should be simpler than JK 1 or 2
Of course.
- it should have a name which doesn't confuse folks :)
mod_whatever, I was thinking for something like mod_coyote or mod_jtc.
- Apache 2.x specific using APR (with the goal being the inclusion in the Apache distribution as a default module: no more compilation problems, etc); for other servers, I think we should keep the current JK
- it should try to optimize keepalive if possible for performance
No idea, should take a look more in Apache 2.x :)
- it should support quality of service (messages to notify that a webapp is being serviced on one node, etc)
Simple extensions to ajp13 / ajp14.
We should first determine if Apache2 will have to monitor a service/system links to the various tomcats (in cluster configuration)
to learn about real-time topology.
- (nice to have) it should be possible to configure the cluster dynamically
See previous comment.
- there should be a clear documentation for which connector to use (I'm not talking about specific needs, but general case: one server -> standalone HTTP/1.1, cluster -> mod_newthing)
oki
- the configuration should be in Apache's config file, rather than some complex properties file
+1
- it should have good defaults (I like good defaults :) )
Well we should at least know a default worker.
- it should work well with other modules (I guess if somehow it is accepted into the Apache codebase, it will be required)
That's why we should focus on Apache 2 only module.
- I think the protocol should be an extension of AJP/1.3
I proposed eons ago, AJP/1.3 extension, called AJP/1.4 and it could be a good candidate. In my idea we should start to write an APR based AJP/1.4 library, which could be first used outside Apache 2 server for test and benchs purposes.
Also we should start with something working with both TC 3.3.x, 4.1.x and 5.x.
