Can anyone suggest an exisiting tool to achieve the following--what I want isn't quite a message queue, but has similarities.
-Queue paths that clients can subscribe to for pub/sub.
-Queues that, upon reconnect, replay their history to date.
-Api for listing listeners and their IP's
-Fast
-Scalable
-Heartbeating or presence
-Status-queues (a queue that sends the same message on first connect, and only re-broadcasts when the status changes)
-API that lets you view messages non-destructively
-API that lets you list clients
-Queues that broadcast a message to all
-Round-robin queues
Do I need to roll my own, or have I missed some existing tool?
- LeafStorm 15y agoI don't know if something like this exists, but if you do roll your own I would recommend using Redis as the backend - either have your clients connect to Redis directly and have a "tender" process keeping track of the keys, or just use Redis "behind" the queue server.
- NyxWulf 15y agoI haven't seen any one product that does all of that, but generally I want to separate heartbeating and status updates from the other queue functionality. ZooKeeper will do a lot of the heartbeating, presence, status changes, list clients, etc. I don't think it's designed to function as a queue though. I think with a combination of Redis and ZooKeeper you could get what you want.
