Strategy API: access to FaceTable
Added by Junxiao Shi over 9 years ago.
Updated over 9 years ago.
Description
Allow strategies to access FaceTable, including:
- enumerate Faces that satisfy a certain predicate
- subscribe to onAdd and onRemove events
- Status changed from New to In Progress
- Status changed from In Progress to Code review
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
I don't understand why strategy needs to fire events for "create" and "remove" faces. I can understand that strategy may get notification about those events, but not invoke them. Strategy is not supposed to create faces and even if it creates, there should be separate non-strategy related interface for that.
- Description updated (diff)
Strategies can subscribe to onAdd and onRemove events, which means they can get notifications.
The semantics of EventEmitter is that only the class in which EventEmitter is declared should trigger the event, and other classes can only subscribe to the event.
This rule is currently a convention; it cannot be enforced in code without changing declaration format.
This problem has nothing to do with #2272.
- Blocked by Feature #2279: Signal: allow only owner to emit events added
- Status changed from Code review to In Progress
Newly-introduced ndn::util::signal::Signal provides a way to prevent Strategy from raising FaceTable events.
Thus, I'm injecting a commit to convert FaceTable to use Signal: http://gerrit.named-data.net/1548
- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
