How do we handle cross-subnet activity with kafka? We actually already do have PVA running on most of these
Good question. I'm not very knowledgeable about Kafka, but replacing PVAccess with standard protocols where we are able to is, in my opinion, probably a good path forward. I'll ask around out of curiosity.
Fair point that PVA is already deployed - I suppose we should support it regardless.
Oh I absolutely agree, standard protocols are the way to go where possible. This will make the user experience and the developer experience much better.
Consider moving the primary data source from EPICS Channel Access (CA) to Kafka or (less preferably) PVAccess.
This sort of consistency issue is just non-existent when you have a single data structure containing all the necessary information to decode an image.
