[RFC #0000] OpenIMSDK Cluster Management Component Design
Meta
📇Topics
Summary
The proposal introduces a Cluster Management Component for the OpenIM-Server to enhance messaging scalability and adaptability. This is achieved by adding a message cluster management component that studies the XMPP protocol, introducing 'from' and 'to' fields in the message body. The design aims to efficiently manage the flow of messages across multiple nodes and facilitate ease of expansion.
Definitions
Motivation
What it is
The design introduces a Cluster Management Component in OpenIM-Server. This component is responsible for routing messages between nodes, ensuring efficient delivery. Taking inspiration from the XMPP protocol, the message body will now contain 'from' and 'to' fields indicating the source and destination nodes respectively.
How it Works
Migration
Existing users of OpenIM-Server would need to update their instances to the version supporting the Cluster Management Component. Additionally, a guide on setting up the Cluster Management Service and connecting IM nodes to it would be provided.
Drawbacks
Alternatives
Prior Art
The XMPP protocol has been extensively used in various instant messaging systems, proving its efficacy in managing real-time communication. Many distributed architectures employ similar cluster management solutions to maintain scalability.
