Hi all,
As for the bootstrap process, I'm still not convinced that we need a socket-based approach. Sure, it is more elegant than the file-based one, but to me, this elegance does not counterbalance the additional complexity at the client side.
Are orphaned files really a problem ? If an application reads such a file, tries to connect to the hub and fails, it sounds sensible to consider this hub as dead, to delete the dot file, and start up a new hub.
I think that one of the reasons of the rapid take-up of PLASTIC is its simplicity. I have nothing against designing a complex architecture, as long as we gain benefits from this complexity.
Cheers,
