<div dir="ltr">Hi Yatin,<div><br></div><div>I'm glad you are thinking about the drawbacks of the zmq-receiver causes, I want to give you a reason to keep the zmq-receiver and get your feedback. The way I think about the zmq-receiver is a tiny little mini-broker that exists separate from any other OpenStack service. As such, it's implementation can be augmented to support store-and-forward and possibly other messaging behaviors that are desirable for ceilometer currently and possibly other things in the future. Integrating the receiver into each service is going to remove its independence and black box nature and give it all the bugs and quirks of any project it gets lumped in with. I would prefer that we continue to improve zmq-receiver to overcome the tough parts. Either that or find a good replacement and use that. An example of a possible replacement might be the qpid dispatch router[1], although this guy explicitly wants to avoid any store and forward behaviors. Of course, dispatch router is going to be tied to qpid, I just wanted to give an example of something with similar functionality.</div>
