At this point, I am fairly open to ideas on the path forward. And I agree with above statements that the PMC decides, but that it's best to have this discussion in a transparent/open manner (i.e. on a public discussion board like this one).
Jeff makes a good point about adoption. Another thought - having both brokers long term seems redundant as there is a huge amount of overlap, and I believe the intent (please correct me if this is wrong) is eventually to have Artemis superset all of the *key* functionality from AMQ 5.x. In order to facilitate a move, users of AMQ 5.x are going to need a smooth transition. Note that I don't mean to say it has to be seamless, just that it has to be smooth - easy enough to understand and execute. Let me pose some questions here that may help move this forward: - Do we know what it takes to migrates customers from AMQ 5.x to Artemis? - Do we have a comprehensive list of features that will remain supported? - Do we have a list of features that will not be retained? If we "Begin with the End in Mind" (Stephen Covey) and work our way back, I think we can make a viable plan to consolidate. On the other hand, if we decide that's out-of-scope, at least in the near term, then that's fine too. In that case, I think the response back to folks who ask is that they are two separate solutions each with their benefits and disadvantages... Hope this helps. I honestly don't have a strong opinion on the long-term vision here. With that said, I do have some strong thoughts on consolidation in the near-term and what's important in getting to a long-term vision. -- Sent from: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-User-f2341805.html
