About Tarcieri-san's Cool.io and Celluloid

[Waldemar Quevedo]

Hello,

I read this announcement in Twitter =>
https://twitter.com/#!/bascule/status/187377279310106624
made by @tarcieri regarding the development status from Cool.io and
giving the suggestion
of considering instead his most recent work Celluloid,
https://github.com/tarcieri/cool.io/commit/8df711b3feb7316d5b5c192b8099f853d946850e
instead of Cool.io.

It is not big deal for now but, Cool.io is used plenty in Fluentd,
so I would like to know what are your thoughts on this matter.

Cheers!

We should switch to Celluloid!

I also think we should switch to Celluloid.

It's attractive for me that Celluloid supports JRuby while Cool.io doesn't. Fluentd may work on Windows with JRuby, which is desired by some users.

Here is my migration plan:

1. Use Celluloid::IO in built-in plugins and release a minor version (v0.10.x)

    This version runs both Celluloid::IO and Cool.io to keep compatibility.

2. Wait until major 3rd-party plugins become independent from Cool.io

3. Release a major version that doesn't support Cool.io (v0.11.x)

    This version will work with JRuby.

4. Stop maintenance of v0.10.x.

Hi Sadayuki,

How about starting v0.11.x as a development line with Celluloid::IO support,

while making v0.10.x a stable release with only bug fixes?

I'd like to see fluetd to make it clear which version is considered to be stable,

and which version is for advanced users.

Thanks,
