Hi Udo, +1 for making the function service not static and spitting it into client and server FunctionService objects!
We do have Cache and ClientCache right now. So I would recommend this API rather than putting two methods on Cache. Cache is already the the server side API. Cache { ServerFunctionService getFunctionService() } ClientCache { ClientFunctionService getFunctionService() } If at some point we split the client side API into a separate jar the API shouldn't need to change. If you don't like ClientFunctionService, maybe o.a.g.cache.client.execute.FunctionService? We would never want two different versions of org.apache.geode.function.FunctionService. People wouldn't be able to test a client and server in the same JVM. Also, you might want to check out this (somewhat stalled) proposal - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/ Function+Service+Usability+Improvements. We had buy in on this on the dev list but have not found cycles to actually do it yet. But maybe now is the time? -Dan On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 11:18 AM, Udo Kohlmeyer <u...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi there Apache Dev's, > > Please look at the proposal to improve the FunctionService and remove the > static invocation of it from within the Cache. > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Function+ > Service+Refactor+-+Removal+of+static-ness+and+splitting+of+ > client+and+server-side+FunctionService > > --Udo > >
