Open Stack

There are some folks in HP evaluating different messaging technologies for
Marconi, such as RabbitMQ and Kafka. I'll ping them and maybe they can
share
some information.

On a related note, the Monitoring as a Service solution we are working
on uses Kafka. This was just open-sourced at,
https://github.com/hpcloud-mon,
and will be moving over to StackForge starting next week. The architecture
is at,
https://github.com/hpcloud-mon/mon-arch.

I haven't really looked at Marconi. If you are interested in
throughput, low latency, durability, scale and fault-tolerance Kafka
seems like a great choice.

It has been also pointed out from various sources that possibly Kafka
could be another oslo.messaging transport. Are you looking into that as
that would be very interesting to me and something that is on my task
list that I haven't gotten to yet.
