I actually thought this was uncontroversial because we've indicated it is a deprecated API for so long. Is there still actually anything that users can't do with the messaging API that can do with the client API?

Hi Andrew,
That's not actually the argument, certainly from my perspective, indeed from a personal perspective I've only ever used qpid::messaging in anger and have always stated quite vigorously to anyone who will listen that they really really need to move to qpid::messaging because qpid::client has been deprecated like, forever.

However...... as I mentioned in my other mail corporate IT Departments are very often disinclined to "keep up with the times" and other business priority pressures can mean a degree of stagnation that can only get loosened by a "clear and present" imperative. So just saying it's deprecated doesn't always focus the mind, but actually giving a bit of a kick usually starts to do the trick.

On a related aside on the subject of "is there anything users can't do" I know of at least one user who has stuck with qpid::client because of the fine level of granular control. He was pushing the performance boundaries and couldn't find the tweaks necessary in qpid::messaging and address strings. I guess that's an edge case, but if we're euthanising qpid::client it might be nice to publish back to back performance metrics and help to ensure that users can get the most out of Qpid. As a general thing it'd be nice to have a performance tuning section in the docs, there's been a few threads on sessions vs connections lately and things like prefetch etc. can seem a bit of a black art and tweaks for small messages vs large messages are likely different.

Thoughts?

Frase
