[Xapian-devel] Up and running with ZeroMQ

[Ankit Bhatnagar]

Hi,

As suggested earlier, I'm getting adept with the usage of ZeroMQ and
understand its usage in the present context.

What I have done till now is :-

(1) Study ZeroMQ API and get in ease with its usage. Still implementing
sample programs and learning basic functions.

(2) Installed, compiled and setup my development environment with Xapian
and ZeroMQ. Lots of work here already!

Though, I read and understood some code available in *xapian-core/net, *I
require a bit of help as follows :

*(1) Protocol usage :* The backend functions in two modes - prog and tcp.
Prog is the mode where the entire program-space is spawned for every
request and tcp functions normally as TCP sockets do. But both of them
remain quite different from the standard HTTP framework/s. Any insight on
how ZeroMQ would suffice?

*(2) Object handling :* Within the scope of the project, object handling is
yet another important feature to take care of.

>>> What kind of objects are handled or not handled within Xapian?

>>> Is there the need for serialization/deserialization of objects before
processing takes place?

*(3) Idea Deliverables :* As most other ideas have a set of deliverables
defined, what are those for this idea? Kindly enlist a few, if possible.
