kestrel

We have hosted the application kestrel in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about kestrel:

Kestrel is a simple, distributed message queue server developed in Scala / running on the JVM, originally by Twitter, whose design is inspired by (and ported from) Starling. It provides reliable, ordered message queues with features like durability, item expiration, fan-out (writer to many readers), and multiple protocol support. The project has been archived (i.e. no longer actively maintained).

Features:

• Implements durable (journaled) queues so that messages are preserved even in case of failures
• Supports multiple protocols (memcache protocol and thrift protocol) for compatibility and flexibility
• Item expiration (messages can be automatically expired after time)
• Fan-out queues: one writer, many readers, to broadcast messages to several consumers
• Ordered queue semantics (messages delivered in insertion or defined ordering)
• Simple, lightweight, designed for performance and reliability in message queue use-cases

Programming Language: Scala.
