[jira] [Commented] (SLING-7168) Allow to implement custom distribution agents/queues

["Timothee Maret (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7168?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16350310#comment-16350310 ] 

Timothee Maret commented on SLING-7168:
---------------------------------------

I have looked at the existing internal APIs in {{org.apache.sling.distribution.core}} bundle and exported the minimal set to allow implementing a agent in a separate bundle. The patch that does it is available here

https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-distribution-core/compare/SLING-7168

The patch does not modify the {{org.apache.sling.distribution.api}} bundle, only the {{org.apache.sling.distribution.core}} one. 
{{org.apache.sling.distribution.core}} exports are typically hidden from customer access via the api controller.

The patch splits between consumer types (meant to be implemented) and provider types.


[~teofili], [~simone.tripodi] could you have a look at it ?

>
> Currently, it is not possible to implements distribution agents and queues, implemented in another bundle than the {{org.apache.sling.distribution.core}} bundle.
> Implementing a custom distribution agent outside of the {{org.apache.sling.distribution.core}} bundle is useful when leveraging an ad-hoc communication layer.
> This issue is about allowing to plug an external distribution agent/queue provided via a separate bundle.
