Q: “What do you think about the ZeroMQ library?”

A: pause… It saved a lot of time initially. Then we ran into a lot of problems 
with it. A lot of limitations. So we’re actually getting rid of ZeroMQ in 
Storm … We’re replacing ZeroMQ with Netty. A lot of problems I had with ZeroMQ 
were, like, a lot of weird stuff with the community … Lots of regression in 
the code. Nothing above 2.1.7 works … It just a weird, very unstable piece of 
software. It could have been a really awesome library. But it just has all 
these weird problems with it.


Thoughts?
