Hi,
It is worth mentioning that I have a full implementation of a
client-server binary protocol used for jboss-cache, which is similar
to the current project and can be easily adapted to it. There are a
number of interesting points
- Built on Apache MINA framework, but the layers are well separated,
so replacing one would not be too difficult.
- Language neutral binary protocol (non Java clients are planned).
- Integrated into Jboss Cache as an L2 cache, but easily used
independently.
- Performance is quite reasonable, with request/response cycles on
the order of 600 microseconds for small request/response.
- Easily extensible, a different codec can be supplied to support
different protocols. Some refactoring could be done to make this
much easier.
- Non trivially tested already.
- Inherently asynchronous - synchronous responses are achieved by
immediately waiting on the response future object.
- Server side consistent hashing, clients connect to any server.
There is raw source at
http://www.vizitsolutions.com/org.jboss.cache.tcpcache.tar.gz
I'll see about some explanations and examples over the next weeks.
This was intended to be contributed back to the Jboss Cache project from the beginning,
hence the organization into jboss.cache packages. Oh, and
I never gave it a snazzy name - I just called it the Jboss Cache binary
protocol.

Nice one Jeff ... so far this is
winning in my mind!

Regarding
ISPN-29 [1], I've made some notes about what this will
provide on this wiki page [2]. I'm kinda tired
of referring to the
'custom binary protocol' as a 'custom binary
protocol'! Can anyone
think of a snazzy name for this protocol? Keep in
mind that we would
want others to implement clients using this protocol as
well on other
platforms.
Here are a few thoughts to get the creative juices
flowing:
* ICBP (Infinispan cache binary
protocol - BORING!)
* Adhesive (the 'glue'
between the client and server)
* Elastiglue
* StickyFingers (after the
Rolling Stones album?)
