Is anyone else looking at the DRb 2.0.4 code, particularly the Rinda
code at the moment? I'm trying to move from 1.6.8 to 1.8.1 and thus
use the new Rinda, but it seems to me that Tuplespaces behave very
differently now. In the old tuplespace, tuples were held in a
queue, and when one was read it went to the back. Thus repeated
attempts to match got each of the matching tuples in turn. Now I
just seem to get the first one repeatedly. I'm wondering what the
philosophy is now for doing "get a new tuple, or go round again".
The renew method, SimpleRenewer and so forth would seem to have
something to do with this, but I'm not really seeing the big
picture... To maintain clarity in my source code as far as possible
I'd like to do this the preferred way, if anyone can tell me what it
is, please? Once I get the idea I will try to contribute some docs
of course.
Thank you,
Hugh
