This is a list of improvements done as part of this commit / task:
* Page Transactions on mirror target are now optional.
If you had an interrupt mirror while the target destination was paging, duplicate detection would be ineffective unless you used paged transactions
Users can now configure the ack manager retries intervals.
Say you need some time to remove a consumer from a target mirror. The delivering references would prevent acks from happening. You can allow bigger retry intervals and number of retries by tinkiering with ack manager retry parameters.
* AckManager restarted independent of incoming acks
The ackManager was only restarted when new acks were coming in. If you stopped receiving acks on a target server and restarted that server with pending acks, those acks would never be exercised. The AckManager is now restarted as soon as the server is started.
When initially developed the expectation was that no more producers would keep connecting but in a scenario like this
the consumers could actually give up and things will just accumulate on the server.
We should cleanup these upon disconnect.
This commit does the following:
- Replaces non-inclusive terms (e.g. master, slave, etc.) in the
source, docs, & configuration.
- Supports previous configuration elements, but logs when old elements
are used.
- Provides migration documentation.
- Updates XSD with new config elements and simplifies by combining some
overlapping complexTypes.
- Removes ambiguous "live" language that's used with regard to high
availability.
- Standardizes use of "primary," "backup," "active," & "passive" as
nomenclature to describe both configuration & runtime state for high
availability.
As I worked through implementing a more generic JSON marshaller, I tried using reflection through BeanUtils and other ways
however the endresult was always worse as there were a few caveats that were not as easy to accomplish.
For that reason I went to a declarative appraoch where I define a meta-data object on AddressSettings and AddressSettingsInfo and
reuse the metadata in a few other places.
Durable subscrption state is part of the MQTT specification which has
not been supported until now. This functionality is implemented via an
internal last-value queue. When an MQTT client creates, updates, or
adds a subscription a message using the client-ID as the last-value is
sent to the internal queue. When the broker restarts this data is read
from the queue and populates the in-memory MQTT data-structures.
Therefore subscribers can reconnect and resume their session's
subscriptions without have to manually resubscribe.
MQTT state is now managed centrally per-broker rather than in the
MQTTProtocolManager since there is one instance of MQTTProtocolManager
for each acceptor allowing MQTT connections. Managing state per acceptor
would allow odd behavior with clients connecting to different acceptors
with the same client ID.
The subscriptions are serialized as raw bytes with a "version" byte for
potential future use, but I intentionally avoided adding complex
scaffolding to support multiple versions. We can add that complexity
later if necessary.
Some tests needed to be changed since instantiating an MQTT protocol
manager now creates an internal queue. A handful of tests assume that no
queues will exist other than the ones they create themselves. I updated
the main test super-class so that an MQTT protocol manager is not
automatically instantiated when configuring a broker for in-vm support.
