[jira] [Created] (HELIX-269) Improve messaging infrastructure in Helix

Vinayak Borkar created HELIX-269:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve messaging infrastructure in Helix
                 Key: HELIX-269
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-269
             Project: Apache Helix
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Vinayak Borkar


Sending a message to various targets in Helix assumes that data sources can only be EXTERNALVIEW or IDEALSTATES. As a result, sending a message to a target is possible only if that target is associated with a resources in the system. It would help to allow applications to use other data sources to "harvest" targets for messages. For example, LIVEINSTANCES could be used as a data source to send messages to instances regardless of the existence of resources.
