Re: [storm] [tsv-area] Application protocol for distributed storage

[Joe Touch <[e-mail]>]

Wesley,

It seems to me that your first review just came in ;-). I.e., it would
be useful to indicate the extent to which your current docs address how
existing protocols were not sufficient.

If they don't yet do this, then that would appear to be a useful next step.

Beyond that, what is the purpose of this review? I would expect that
useful aspects of your protocol could be incorporated into standards
track protocols under development, or that a new protocol
(informational, experimental, or standards track) could be established
based on your protocol. Can you address what your goals are?
