--------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Jason Huynh)
> Introduce Reactive Streams and/or Reactor
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-34
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-34
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: general, querying
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0-incubating
> Reporter: Stephane Maldini
> Labels: gsoc2016
>
> Current threading strategy in various places involve blocking wait, e.g:
> - Put/PutAll
> - Function/ResultCollector
> - CacheListener handling
> There is a couple small projects to help addressing this issue which would
> tie very well with Geode distributed nature.
> A first micro-library is Reactor [1] depending on Reactive Streams [2] to
> provide for error isolation and latency mitigation wherever it is required.
> The purpose of Reactor and Reactive Streams is to introduce a reverse
> non-blocking flow control to any producer:
> - A component using put/putAll should not try accumulating unsafely pending
> writes in an async queue such as the ones in threadPool executors if there
> are current put/putAll in process. It should be actually driven by the
> acknowledgement from a successful write (or the acknowledgement it has been
> replicated etc). The propagation of the async backpressure would tell this
> component to not even try, e.g. if it is an HttpServer, stop reading incoming
> request, serve other requests and resume after put has been done. This gives
> a predictive memory profile and a better CPU use overall in non blocking
> applications, which is all the point about Reactive Streams.
> - ResultCollector, Query shouldn't execute more than requested by the
> consumer in order to avoid accumulating too much pending results.
> - CacheListener dispatching could benefit from implementing Reactive contract
> to provide for safe concurrency model (actor-like), error propagation and
> like in the 2 previous examples, async flow control that avoids pending event
> to accumulate somewhere in an uncontrolled fashion.
> The issue here is about studying the benefits, experimenting on a branch and
> report any interesting finding. Other reactive data providers can be found on
> the vendor side (CouchDB, MongoDB both provide for a Reactive Streams ready
> query mech) and mapping side (Slick 3.0 is a pure Reactive Streams
> implementation for data queries).
