[zeromq-dev] Ideas for a zfork class

[Chad Koski]

Hi Rodrigo,
You might take a look at zyre (https://github.com/zeromq/zyre) to see what you can apply from there before adding a new class.  It might save you some work.

zyre can handle the discovery, identification, heart beating and message passing between the master and worker (peers in the zyre network).   I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you are looking for, but if it gets you part of the way there, seems like it’s at least worth a look.  At the least, it should be able to give you some ideas on how to proceed if it’s not a good fit as-is.

But for some external reasons, I need to fork some zmq worker and I would like to manage this fork like zthread/zactor.  Let`s call it zfork, and I would like to exchange some thoughts before start developing it.
