eureka server talking to eureka clients

[vineet gandhi]

Hi,

To what I have read  I figured out that there is always a one way communication from eureka client to eureka server for hearbeat or registration. Is there any provision for eureka server talking to clients using some protocol?

Eureka server doesn't make any calls to client applications. It only receives requests from clients. It is client application's responsibility to send constant pings to server to establish it's health status.

May I know what problem are you trying to solve by making server talk to clients?

Eureka 2.0 (whose development status is not very clear) seems to be based on events/pub-sub kind of architecture. In 2.0, you can expect calls from server to clients to update client's copy of data.
