2018-10-13 13:49:30 UTC - Julien Nioche: Hi, is there a way I can remote debug a Pulsar Function with Eclipse? e.g. using an environment variable

2018-10-13 13:58:18 UTC - Samuel Sun: Hi, one question for “Pulsar Proxy” , what’s the difference between nginx/haproxy and it?  can I use L4/L7 lb in front of the brokers ? thanks
----
2018-10-13 17:25:08 UTC - Sijie Guo: @Julien Nioche currently there is no eclipse plugin to do so :( it is in the roadmap 
----
2018-10-13 17:26:26 UTC - Sijie Guo: @Samuel Sun you can think about it is an intelligent L7 LB. since it has to find the brokers for a given topic 
----
2018-10-13 17:31:38 UTC - Lei: @Matteo Merli Regarding 5, my understanding of "acked message" is an "acknowledge" within timeout. An timeout "acknowledge" means failed to acknowledge. In this test case, there is no acknowledge within timeout. So there is no "already acked message". Do I understand the "timeout" and "acknowledge" incorrectly?
----
2018-10-14 00:03:09 UTC - Matteo Merli: @Julien Nioche you can do run the function in local mode, without submitting to cluster. `pulsar-admin functions localrun ...`. It should be easy to start that from Eclipse as well
----
2018-10-14 00:09:42 UTC - Matteo Merli: @Samuel Sun you can use LB in front of brokers for service discovery, though you’d still need for clients to be able to connect directly to brokers.  The pulsar proxy is able to expose a completely stateless frontend, in which you can talk to any proxy instance.

----
2018-10-14 08:42:14 UTC - Julien Nioche: @Sijie Guo @Matteo Merli I found what I was after. it can be done by setting export PULSAR_EXTRA_OPTS="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=localhost:8000"
before calling pulsar-admin. Thanks!
