Add sychronization features to pyDynECS #50

Open mason-bially opened 10 years ago

mason-bially commented 10 years ago

Need to add synchronization features to the ECS library. Still needs design as well. Types of Synchronization:

Total (a total copy)
On Demand (just the data we request)
It may be nice to have a sort of hybrid one as well.

It will be important to keep in mind the different layers of synchronization:

Transport (And session). Probably with zmq.
Messaging (AKA presentation, protocol). Probably with pickling.
Application Logic. Probably with python.

Use cases:

UI Tools, for discovery, and review.
Command line, one time usage.

Note that we don't need to worry about data persistence (where we differ from databases), just getting the correct up to date data.
