  • ZeroMQ: High-Performance Concurrency Framework

    They explained why they did this here: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/issues/2376

    Bottom line is that their licensing with a static linking exception was kind of weird and creating a lot of issues combining zeromq code even with other open source licenses (like Apache 2.0).

    Interesting to see how they gathered permission to do this from the developer community. License changes like this are usually hard to realize unless you insist on copyright transfers. But in this case they managed to do it without that. So it was a collective decision. Hard to argue with that.

    Slightly OT:

    Are ZeroMQ and NanoMQ still widely used (and recommended)?

    Remarkable, up until recently, requests for a new release were sumewhat brusquely rejected and marked as spam.

    I wonder what made the maintainer change his mind.

    Unlikely, but they seem to be different things altogether. BlazingMQ appears to be a traditional message queue (think ActiveMQ), with message peristence. ZeroMQ is more of a network middleware (think Tibco Rendezvous), and does not include persistence.

    BlazingMQ also appears to be more of a "platform" or "service" that an app can use (sort of like Oracle, say) -- ZeroMQ includes libraries that one can use to build an app, service or platform, but none is provided "out of the box".

    Which makes it harder to get started with ZeroMQ, since by definition every ZeroMQ app is essentially built "from scratch".

    If you're interested in ZeroMQ, you may want to check out OZ (https://github.com/nyfix/OZ), which is a Rendezvous-like platform that uses the OpenMAMA API (https://github.com/finos/OpenMAMA) and ZeroMQ (https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq) transport to provide a full-featured network middleware implementation. OZ has been used in our shop since 2020 handling approx 50MM high-value messages per day on our global FIX network.

  • What they don't teach you about sockets
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jul 2022
    I think the situation is more subtle than the poster admits.

    No, ZeroMQ and successors do not tell you about socket state. You can't detect disconnection or reconnection. But then if a TCP connection fails in some way that does not lead to disconnection (packets getting dropped, remote machine powers down), it can't possibly tell you about that either, but you still need to deal with it. So in any case, you need some sort of application-level error detection and recovery; you need heartbeats, and serial numbers in messages, and a protocol for explicitly restarting a connection and performing the initial handshake. And once you have that, explicit connection events from ZeroMQ are much less important.

    Admittedly, given that this is a TCP transport, reporting reconnections would still be useful, because TCP won't ever drop messages from the interior of a sequence itself (if it delivers 15, it has delivered 1 - 14 already), so you shouldn't need the serial numbers.

    And if it's really not possible to detect authentication failures, than that seems rubbish. And it seems that is indeed the case: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/issues/3505
