So... your response basically capitulates to the fragmentation argument:
"Yes we will have binding strewn about of questionable quality that may, or may not, work with core." The point that I'm trying to make is, fragmentation *is not* a good thing. -------------------------------------- Case in point - The Hadoop Ecosystem (fragmentation) In order for anyone to make a salient stack of any measure, vendors have to knit together components into a stack which can then be consumed by the masses. -------------------------------------- Counterpoint - Spark (curating) libraries Spark bundles 1st order interface libraries as part of a curated core. You are guaranteed that the core will inter-operate, and PySpark is given 1st class standing. -------------------------------------- This is a bad idea, unless there is a plan to hedge the risk. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- > From: "yifan" <myan...@msn.com> > To: user@mesos.apache.org > Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 7:10:34 PM > Subject: Re: Mesos language bindings in the wild > > Hi Tim, > > I found that in zookeeper, they also separate the bindings from the core. > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/ZKClientBindings > > So, IMHO, I think it should be the maintainer's responsibility to keep > the binding in healthy state, with clear documentation of which version > of the mesos core they supports. > > Yifan > > > > On 07/14/2014 11:30 AM, Tim St Clair wrote: > > So I fear the fragmentation that can occur if we provide native bindings > > outside of the core, unless there is some mechanism for testing, & a well > > established versioning scheme. > > > > IMHO, priority inversion on 'versioning' should come before bindings to > > ensure we adhere to policy. > > > > Thoughts? > > > > -Tim > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > >> From: "Tom Arnfeld" <t...@duedil.com> > >> To: d...@mesos.apache.org > >> Cc: user@mesos.apache.org > >> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2014 10:22:59 AM > >> Subject: Re: Mesos language bindings in the wild > >> > >> Very exciting.
