IMAP4 Clustering
Hi lads,
I am considering following architecture/problem:
http://i.imgur.com/ndUBFL4.png
On diagram you can see that Alice and Bob are "sharing" same inbox (it
might not make sense in case of email but I am considering this
problem for different use case where there is no SMTP so please do not
ask why :-)).
1. Bob is connected to his IMAP mailbox and issues IDLE command.
2. Alice is calling APPEND on inbox via IMAP4 protocol via Instance A.
Question:
Is Bob going to receive notification back form Instance B that there
is new message in his inbox?
More general question:
Is IMAP4 fully clusterable in Apache James3?
Will be thankful for comments.
Cheers,
Maciej

Thanks for this.
We did some source code review today and since we focus on imap only it
should be fairly simple to dispatch event through topic (we want to use
rabbitmq) to all other nodes and then use what is already in place to
handle event and then push back notification via idlelistener. I should
have another diagram soon for you ;)
Thanks for this.
Btw: we used james2 in the past... now looking at james3 source code and
spring make us all so much happier ;)

Hi,
Thx for the new diagram.
No, B will not receive notifications. The event implementation is purely
a local JVM one.
We've got a few JIRA open for this, and the API is ready for a
distributed implementation. It is just a matter of having that
implementation...
Feel free to come back here if you want more pointers to contribute.
Thx, Eric
