Hi Pedro,
I'm currently looking at your TOM protocol (GROUP_MULTICAST).
I have a couple of points to discuss:
#1 We need to find a better package name for org.jgroups.protocols.pmcast
#2 We also need to find a better name for the protocol GROUP_MULTICAST.
In JGroups, we call a message to a single cluster member a *unicast*, a
message to all cluster members a *multicast* and a message to a subset
of the cluster members an *anycast*. So I guess both the package name
and the protocol name should have something to do with "totally ordered"
and "anycast"...
How about
- TOA (Total Order Anycast) ?
- TOPR (Total Order for Partial Replication) ?
- TOS (Total Order for a Subset) ?
- TOAST: Total Order Anycast Super Terrific ? :-) ha ha
Anyone ? The best suggestion that ends up being used earns a beer at JBW
! :-)
