Hi, I'm wondering if it is feasible to have a way to launch a Bookie and a Bookkeeper client in the same JVM without using network, valid use cases are:
1) Unit testing 2) Installations using a single Bookie 1) Unit testing For unit testing I'm using mock classes which reproduce the functions of Bookkeeper but it makes my code more complex. Running network-related libraries limits the possibility of running tests in parallel and slows down the overall throughput of the tests 2) Single Bookie deployment Sometimes I need to launch software which uses Bookkeeper in a single-machine deployment, in this case using an embedded Bookie will let to have only a single JVM process which runs the full stack of the service. For instance when I'm using Bookkeeper as a commit log I need to implement a commit log which uses Bookkeeper for replicated deployments, a simple "file" based commit log and a pure in-memory commit log for unit testing. I'm not an expert but I think it could be done using Netty LocalServerChannelFactory (and related client-side classes) and some tricks about the use of hostnames, registration on Zookeeper and so on Of course the same issue will be on Zookkeeper What do you think ? Maybe I can file a JIRA and try to implement a prototype Enrico Olivelli Software Development Manager @Diennea Tel.: (+39) 0546 066100 - Int. 925 Viale G.Marconi 30/14 - 48018 Faenza (RA) MagNews - E-mail Marketing Solutions http://www.magnews.it<http://www.magnews.it/> Diennea - Digital Marketing Solutions http://www.diennea.com<http://www.diennea.com/> ________________________________ Iscriviti alla nostra newsletter per rimanere aggiornato su digital ed email marketing! http://www.magnews.it/newsletter/ The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
