Iris - Distributed Messaging Framework - Todo list

Stuff that need implementing, fixing or testing.

• Planned
  • Gather and display statistics (small web server + stats publish)
• Features
  • Carrier + Overlay
    • Implement proper statistics gathering and reporting mechanism (and remove them from the Boot func)
  • Relay + Iris
    • Remove goroutine / pending request (either limit max requests or completely refactor proto/iris)
  • Carrier
    • Exchange topic load report only for app groups, not topics
  • Session
    • Memory pool to reduce GC overhead (maybe will need larger refactor)
• Bugs
  • Relay
    • Race condition if reply and immediate close (needs close sync with finishing ops)
  • Iris
    • Detect dead tunnel (heartbeat or topic-style node monitoring?)
  • Overlay
    • Proper closing and termination (i.e. try and minimize lost messages when closing)
• Misc
  • Overlay
    • Benchmark and tune the handshakes
    • Benchmark and tune the state maintenance and updates
    • Benchmark and tune the routing performance
• Upstream Go bugs:
  • Slice corruption with 64 bit indices on 386
    • Link: https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=5820
    • Hack: slice[int(index_64)] = nil
    • Used: proto/iris/tunnel.go x2
