Status of this repository #154

Closed rhuss closed 2 years ago

rhuss commented 2 years ago

I wonder what the status and plans for this repository are ? While I think it covers a great idea for optimizing our data plane, I also don't see any momentum behind this project since @slinkydeveloper left Knative.

Should we archive this repo or are there plans for moving this concept forwards ?

Unfortunately I can't attach this issue to the TOC project board so I wonder whether I should open an issue in knative/community instead ?

pierDipi commented 2 years ago

@rhuss this repository is used in eventing-kafka (cc @travis-minke-sap)

travis-minke-sap commented 2 years ago

Thanks @pierDipi - oddly this seems to come up every couple months. Is there some what to indicate this permanently? I can update the top level README or ????

rhuss commented 2 years ago

@travis-minke-sap that would be great, as the top-level README looks like this repo is just kind of a proof-of-concept.

For more docs

Note: This project is highly experimental!

rhuss commented 2 years ago

Maybe also add a back-reference to where it is used (e.g. as kind of an example).

Related questions: Are there any plans to fold this repo into knative/pkg as it looks like the scope is wider than just eventing ?

I don't know the roadmap for this functionality. Initially I believe @slinkydeveloper had grand plans for it being widely used to bridge the control/data planes. The distributed KafkaChannel was the first trial run of the library, and no other projects have yet made use of it (afaik). I was performing basic merge maintenance on the repo until recently, but have stopped as we are phasing out some of our Knative interaction.

It seems like we can deprecated this repo at some point in the future. @travis-minke-sap what's your timeline?

Timeline uncertain at present - probably 6 months or so.
