- 27. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq 26 MQ Light Messaging Model – Send Messages Applications send messages to a topic. A topic is an address in the topic space either flat or arranged hierarchically. 1. Send (‘/test/a’, “Hello”); 2. Send (‘/test/a’, “World!”); Topic Address Space Sender application
- 28. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq 27 MQ Light Messaging Model – Simple Receive •Applications receive messages by creating a destination with a pattern which matches the topics they are interested in. •Pattern matching scheme based on WMQ. 1. Send (‘/test/a’, “Hello”); 2. Send (‘/test/a’, “World!”); 1. Hello 2. World! Topic Address Space Sender application DESTINATION Pattern=/test/a
- 29. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq 28 MQ Light Messaging Model – Pub/Sub •Multiple destinations can be created which match the same topic •Pub/Sub style. DESTINATION 1. Send (‘/test/a’, “Hello”); 2. Send (‘/test/a’, “World!”); 1. Hello 2. World! 1. Hello 2. World! Topic Address Space Sender application DESTINATION Pattern=/test/a Pattern=/test/# Client 1 Client 2
- 30. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq 29 MQ Light Messaging Model – Persistent destinations •Destinations persist for a defined “time to live” after receiver detaches. 1. Send (‘/test/a’, “Hello”); 2. Send (‘/test/a’, “World!”); Topic Address Space Sender application Hello World! DESTINATION Pattern=/test/a Disconnected client
- 31. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq 30 MQ Light Messaging Model – Sharing •Clients attaching to the same topic pattern and share name attach to the same shared destination. DESTINATION1. Send (‘/test/a’, “Hello”); 2. Send (‘/test/a’, “World!”); 1. Hello 2. World! 1. Hello 2. World! SHARING Topic Address Space Sender application DESTINATION Pattern=/test/# Pattern=/test/# Share=myshare Client 1 Client 2 Client 3
- 32. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq MQ Light Messaging Model - Message Delivery Currently: At most once delivery (QoS 0) On the backlog: • At least once delivery (QoS 1) • Acknowledge & Reject messages • Control over the number of unacknowledged messages delivered. (Readahead) • require Destination – Results in a error if a destination does not exist for the message. 31
- 33. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq MQ Light Messaging Model – Messages Messages have a payload which is either Text or Binary. • Content-type is used by clients to transfer JSON On the backlog: • Messages can have: – Time-to-live – Delivery delay – Properties 32
- 34. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq 33 MQ Light Messaging Model – Client takeover 1. Send (‘/test/a’, “Hello”); Hello Topic Address Space Sender application DESTINATION Pattern=/test/# Client 1 World! Client 1 2. Send (‘/test/a’, “World!”); •Applications connect to MQ Light service specify (optional) client ID. •Re-using the same client ID pre-empts the original connection. •Ideal for worker takeover in the cloud.
- 35. #ibmimpact #mqlight #elasticmq MQ Light Node.JS API. Installable from NPM Promotes a fluent programming style Easily wrappable into promises. Focussed on code simplicity. Client - connect state machine • Assists cloud applications. 34 client.connect() .on('connected', function() { console.log('Have some random cat names. Have them!'); subscribe('/kittens'); }) .on('disconnected', function() { console.log('That's enough for now!'); }) .on('message', function(data) { console.log('Why not call your cat: '+data); });
