Hello, I have just noticed that MDP 0.1 has been deprecated and I would like to ask for this tag to be removed.
http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:7/ Truth be told, it is possible that it has been the case for some time though on the other hand, I could swear I did not see it a couple of weeks ago. The reason I'm asking for it is that there is nothing wrong with this protocol - it is straightforward, works very well and pretty much the only thing that I would change is adding responses to READY commands instead of having workers assume that it succeeds unless a subsequent command fails. (I would also expose IP addresses of remote sockets in the public API but that's another kettle of fish). We are currently adding 0.1 to Zato: https://zato.io/docs/ It's a Python-based SOA/API integration platform - we already have support for ZeroMQ and in this context MDP will give our users nice synchronous connectivity when HTTP adds too much overhead and raw TCP sockets are not particularly palatable. I understand that there is MDP 0.2 which we are going to add too: http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:18 But since 0.2 is backward-incompatible with 0.1, even though the changes are small, the two protocols cannot be mixed up anyway thus it looks there is no reason to deprecate 0.1, they are just different things. And there is 0.3 planned .. https://github.com/zeromq/majordomo/issues/34 .. which appears to be a specification unlike either of the previous MDP versions. One this ticket is closed I'm not entirely sure what will happen? Will 0.2 become deprecated then? But since 0.3 is a different protocol then perhaps it should not be called MDP at this point? I just don't want to give our users impression that we are supporting deprecated protocols only because I do know that they are just fine, both 0.1 and 0.2, even if they are not compatible. At the same time I would like to foster their adoption - they are quite convenient and definitely make sense, please do not deprecate them. best regards, -- Dariusz Suchojad https://zato.io ESB, SOA, REST, APIs and Cloud Integrations in Python _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
