Missing operations to allow the navigation described in the PIM

  • Key: DDS-175
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6687
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Ref-200 Figure_2_10_arrow_readcondition
    The PIM indicates by means of the arrow pointing from ReadCondition to DataReader that navigation is possible. However, the navigation is not present in the PSM (no operation, no attribute).
    Proposal: Fix by adding get_datareader() operation to the ReadCondition. This operation should take no arguments and return a DataReader
    Ref-201 Figure_2_5_arrow_statuscondition
    The PIM indicates by means of the arrow pointing from StatusCondition to Entity that navigation is possible. However, the navigation is not present in the PSM (no operation, no attribute).
    Proposal: Fix by adding get_entity() to StatusCondition. This operation should take no arguments and return a Entity.
    Ref-202 Figure_2_10_arrow_topicdescription
    The PIM indicates by means of the arrow pointing from DataReader to TopicDescription that navigation is possible. However, the navigation is not present in the PSM (no operation, no attribute).
    Proposal: Fix by adding get_topicdescription to DataReader. This operation should take no arguments and return a Topicdescription.
    Ref-203 Figure_2_9_arrow_topic
    The PIM indicates by means of the arrow pointing from DataWriter to Topic that navigation is possible. However, the navigation is not present in the PSM (no operation, no attribute).
    Proposal: Fix by adding get_topic() to DataWriter. This operation should take no arguments and return a Topic.
    Ref-227 Missing_navigation_operations
    The PIM indicates by means of the arrow pointing from DataReader to Subscriber, from DataWriter to Publisher, and from DomainEntity to Participant that navigation is possible. However, the navigation is not present in the PSM (no operation, no attribute)
    Proposal: Fix by adding DataReader::get_subscriber (no parameters, returns a Subscriber), DataWriter::get_publisher (no parameters, returns a Publisher), and the operations Publisher:: get_participant(), Subscriber::get_participant, and TopicDescription::get_participant() (these 3 operations should take no arguments and return a Participant). It is not needed to add get_participant to DataReader or DataWriter because it is possible to navigate to the subscriber/publisher and from there to the participant.

  • Summary:

    Ref-66 Misplacing_of_key_in_builtin_topic_table
    Section 2.1.5. Fields "key" with Topic DCPSPublication and DCPSSubscription are placed one row to high compared to the relating Topic. In other words, DCPSPublication and DCPSSubscription should be placed one row higher.
    The thickness of the lines between the rows might suggest some relation between fields, but is implemented inconsequent.
    Proposal: Correct table as described above.
    Ref-103 Typo_on_section_2.1.2.5.2.8
    3rd paragraph Says "... prior to calling any of the sample-accessing operations, namely: … on the DataWriter"
    Should say "on the DataReader" instead of "on the DataWriter"
    Proposal: Replace "DataWriter" with "DataReader" in said paragraph
    Ref-105 Typo_on_section_2.1.3.11
    Section 2.1.3.11 says "Assuming the STRENGTH policy allows it…"
    Should say "Assuming the OWNERSHIP policy allows it…"
    Proposal: Replace as stated above
    Ref-115 Typo_consistent_use_of_term_publication
    Section 2.1.2.2.1.15 says "The publication to ignore"… The parallel sentence in section 2.1.2.2.1.16 says the "The DataReader to ignore"…
    These two sentences should be consistent
    Proposal: Replace "publication" with DataWriter in 2.1.2.2.1.15
    Ref-143 Typo_on_RELIABILITY_description
    In Section 2.1.3, QoS table. The description of RELIABILITY in the last line it says "and whether a samples can be discarded from it." Should say "samples" instead of "a samples"
    Proposal: Replace as stated above
    Ref-145 Bad_reference_to_DCPSEntity
    Section 2.1.3 Figure 15 Says DCPSEntity instead of Entity in one of the lines
    Proposal: Replace as stated above
    Ref-147 Typo_on_section_2.1.5
    Section 2.1.5 third paragraph says: The last "r" in "get_datareader" is not using italics as it should within the sentence "The built-in DataReader objects can be retrieved by using the operation get_datareader, with the Subscriber and the topic name as parameters."
    Proposal: Make the "r" italic.
    Ref-207 Grammar_errors_on_secs_2.1.2.4_and_2.1.2.5

Changing the IDL module

  • Key: DDS-172
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7169
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: 88solutions ( Mr. Manfred R. Koethe)
  • Summary:

    The module names in the IDL are very terse and not prefixed. In
    this form they pose a high risk of a name collision with any other,
    even user-written, IDL module. I would suggest to prefix the module
    names as explained in the IDL Style Guide (ab/98-06-03). The "Cos"
    prefix would be adequate. This means to change for example
    "module DDS" to "module CosDDS", or even to a more intuitive
    "module CosDataDistributionService" for the benefit of the user.
    I think non of today's systems has a severe name limitation
    anymore.

    Further email narrowed the proposal to "CosDDS".

    Proposed action: No Change

    Both RTI and THALES feel that the change significantly affect users that
    have started developing applications using the API. Our companies have
    invested significantly in the API and a change this late would make us
    lose a lot of credibility and may really upset some customers. In the
    case of RTI this includes documentation that has been in-use by
    customers over the last 6 months.

    In our respective markets there is a lot of people using C and C++ with
    compilers that don't support name-spaces so this change affects a very
    visible part of the API, namely the prefix of every function. The change
    may appear small but it may actually have big impact if we consider
    user-acceptance.

    Furthermore, the use of the "Cos" prefix may be misleading as the
    Data-Distribution Service was designed so it would be implementable
    without an object service.

Missing operations on DomainParticipantFactory and need for helper values

  • Key: DDS-169
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7100
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The resolution of issue 6816 added operation to get and set default QoS on all the entity factories except for the DomainParticipantFactory. This was an omission as this factory also needs to provide these operation such that DomainParticipant entities can also be created using default QoS.
    The operation lookup_participant is defined in the PIM (section 2.1.2.2.2) and does not appear in the PSM
    Furthermore, it would be desirable to have some utility constants in the IDL that can be used to indicate to the factory that default QoS should be used to construct an entity. This avoids having to explicitly get the default QoS in the case the application does not want to change any of the defaults. Helper constants can also be added for the specific case of constructing DataReader and DataWriter entities when the application wishes to indicate that the QoS should be obtaining by modifying the default values with the ones defined by the Topic Qos

Ref-85 Garbage_collection_of_disposed_instances

  • Key: DDS-145
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6855
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    In the current specification, the applications are fully responsible
    for the resource usage. Applications have means to detect when
    lifecycles end and resources can be freed. However even if
    applications are to be written correctly not all cases are covered and
    some situations potential produce garbage, that is memory that remains
    in use and never reclaimed.

    The following are potential scenarios:

    Instances become disposed but the application does not 'take' the
    sample and therefore does not allow the middleware to end the
    lifecycle and remove the state regarding the instance

    Instances that no longer have any "active" writers and consequently
    get no more samples.

    Even if the application 'takes' the disposed instance or instances
    with no writers it is not always possible for the middleware to
    reclaim the resources. This can occur in two cases; in case of the
    service keeping Transient and Persistent data and in case of
    incomplete MultiTopic samples. In both cases an immediate removal of
    samples is not desirable but eventually the samples should be removed

    On the one hand deleting the instances immediately will potentially
    cause problems since late coming readers may require the disposed
    instances, e.g. reallocating consumers requiring disposed instances to
    finish interrupted cleanup actions or MultiTopics joining Topics with
    different lifecycles.

    On the other hand the disposed instances cannot be kept
    indefinitely. Doing this will eventually flood the system, especially
    for Topics with increasing key-values.

    The solution is to keep them for a certain duration and then reclaim
    the resources the question is how long this duration should be?

    Note that, in general, just because a sample has been disposed the
    middleware cannot reclaim all the resources on it either on the writer
    side or on the reader side. For the middleware to reclaim resources it
    is necessary that the instance is also unregistered; otherwise
    disposing would automatically relinquish ownership which is not the
    desired behavior.

    This applies both to the writer side, the reader side, and/or the
    transient/persistent durability service.

    On the writer side it is therefore clear. Resources are only fully
    reclaimed when the instance is unregistered.

    So the tricky issue is how to handle the case where an instance has no
    writers, whether it had been disposed or not, whether there are
    samples in the queue or not. Nominally we notify the application of
    this event by some means (see Issue #84). The application should then
    take the samples.

    One approach would be for the middleware to keep some resources around
    for a certain duration (DISPOSE_LIFESPAN) in case this was just a
    transient situation and the instance appears again. This treats the
    DISPOSED_NO_WRITERS similarly to the DISPOSED_EXPLICIT

    **PROPOSAL**

    Add a new QoS on the DataReader called NO_WRITERS_LIFESPAN with a
    single Duration_t field "duration". It is mutable with a default
    value equal to DURATION_INFINITY. This represents the duration for
    which the DataReader should keep the knowledge of an instance once it
    detects it has NO_WRITERS.

    After the instance has no writers the middleware is not required to
    keep the information about the instance any longer than the
    NO_WRITERS_LIFESPAN. The implication is that if an instance becomes
    DISPOSED_NO_WRITERS and the application does not take the instance for
    a time that exceeds the NO_WRITERS LIFESPAN the application could miss
    the fact that the instance has DISPOSED and has no writers.

DDS ISSUE# 53] Refactor lifecycle state

  • Key: DDS-144
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6854
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Ref-84 Lifecycle_state_refactor

    The precise interpretation and representation of the lifecycle and
    sample states in the specification is not clear.

    Figure 2-11 is not easy to interpret as it refers to "observable"
    lifecycles rather than representing some internal state that the
    application accesses.

    Several issues are left open such as

    Whether what happens if in the sample history of a single instance are
    new, modified, and deleted samples (i.e. the instance was disposed and
    then created again before the reader accessed it). An additional
    question is then whether the read/take will return samples belonging
    to multiple "generations" of the instance.

    How can an application determine that as a result of a single
    read/take operation multiple samples of the same instance appear. This
    may be important because the processing a new/modified sample may
    depend on the number of samples the application has for that instance.

    Also the representation of the instance_state as an enumeration:
    NEW/MODIFIED/DELETED/NO_WRITERS is not natural. If this represents the
    state of the instance, then the instance can be simultaneously
    MODIFIED and DELETED; it can be MODIFIED and have no writers,
    etc. That is logically these are not mutually exclusive

    **PROPOSAL**

    Change the description in section 2.1.2.5.1 and representation
    lifecycle as described below.

    Replace the lifecycle_state with the following two variables (flags)

    observation_lifecycle =

    {NEW, NOT_NEW}

    liveness_lifecycle =

    { ALIVE , DISPOSE_EXPLICIT, DISPOSED_NO_WRITERS }

    Define DISPOSED as the union (DISPOSED_EXPLICIT | DISPOSED_NO_WRITERS)

    The observation_lifecycle and liveness_lifecycle are independent. All
    combinations are possible. So the lifecycle may be simultaneously NEW
    & DISPOSED_EXPLICIT, NOT_NEW & ALIVE, etc.

    All the samples in the history of an instance have the same
    "lyfecycles" states. Each time a sample is received (or a loss of
    liveliness on a remote DataWriter is detected) the liveness_lifecycle
    may change. If it changes it changes for all samples belonging to the
    same instance.

    If an instance was DISPOSED (either DISPOSED_EXPLICIT or
    DISPOSED_NO_WRITERS) and a samplefor that instance is received, the
    liveness_lifecycle of the instance changes to ALIVE.

    If a sample is received for a DataWriter, indicating that the ser has
    called "dispose" for that instance then the liveness_lifecycle of the
    instance changes to DISPOSED_EXPLICIT.

    If the infrastructure detects the loss of liveness of a DataWriter for
    the instance and this is the only DataWriter writing the instance
    known to the reader then the liveness_lifecycle of the instance
    changes to DISPOSED_NO_WRITERS

    Each time the liveliness of an instance changes from ALIVE to
    DISPOSED_EXPLICIT an internal count maintained per instance
    (disposed_explicit_count) is incremented. Each time the liveliness of
    an instance changes from ALIVE to DISPOSED_NO_WRITERS an internal
    count maintained per instance (disposed_no_writers_count) is
    incremented.

    The observation_lifecycle and liveness_lifecycle as well as the
    disposed_explicit_count and disposed_no_writers_count appear in the
    SampleInfo returned when the application reads/takes samples. This
    counters are from the perpective of the DataReader and start at 0 when
    the liveness_lifecycle is NEW

    Each time the application reads or takes samples, all returned samples
    for any one instance have the same observation_lifecycle and
    liveness_lifecycle. They represents the "snapshot" of the
    corresponding values for the instance taken at the time the data is
    read or taken.

    The disposed_explicit_count and disposed_no_writers_count in
    SampleInfo are not the same. On all samples. They represent the number
    of lifecycles of each kind that the instance had gone through at the
    time the sample stored into the history queue. The application can use
    this to distinguish samples belonging to different generations. In
    addition the SampleInfo contains an additional filed. The
    "instance_rank" that specifies how many samples for the same instance
    follow in the sequence retuned as part of the read/take. This helps
    the application anticipate that more samples for the same instance
    follow. The last sample for the instance returned will always have a
    instance_rank==0

    In addition the SampleInfo contains an additional filed. The
    "generation_rank" that specifies the generation to which the sample
    belongs relative to the generations

    The observation_lifecycle, liveness_lifecycle, disposed_explicit_count
    and disposed_no_writers can be used as in the expressions used for the
    purposes of making a Query.

    Figure 2-11 should be updated to reflect the state-transitions
    described above.

    Both the read and take operations affect the
    observation_lifecycle. The first time the application reads/takes
    samples for an instance the observation_lifecycle will be NEW. After
    the observation_lifecycle will be NOT_NEW.

    Once the application reads/takes samples with the liveness_lifecycle
    DISPOSED (either EXPLICIT or NO_WRITERS), the observation_lifecycle is
    'reset' and if new samples are received for that instance the
    observation_lifecycle will be set to NEW again.

    For high-performance it is desirable to use a zero-copy API on the

    However the use of "zero-copy" requires a mechanism for the

    buffers"

    One possibility would be to an operation DataReader::finish or
    DataReader::return_loan that takes the SampleData and SampleInfo
    sequences as parameter and indicates to the middleware that the
    application is no longer accessing the buffers in the corresponding
    sequences.

    Ref-74 Refactor_the_api_used_to_access_samples

    The read() and take() operations return a "one-dimensional" array of
    samples.

    For the case where the PRESENTATION.access_scope==BY_INSTANCE and
    either HISTORY.kind == KEEP_ALL or HISTORY.depth > 1 it is desirable
    that the application can easily access all the samples that correspond
    to one instance versus the samples that correspond to other
    instances. For this purpose a 2-dimensional array (or sequence) where
    a is preferable. That would allow for example to determine easily how
    many samples are for each instance (before examining all) and also
    easily examine the "first" or "last" sample of each instance without
    navigating though all the other instances

    What we would like is something like:

    struct FooSample

    { struct SampleInfo *info; struct Foo *data; }

    ;

    typedef sequence<FooSample> FooSampleSeq;

    read(out FooSampleSeq sample_seq);

    typedef sequence<FooSampleSeq>; FooSampleCollatedSeq;

    read_collated(out FooSampleCollatedSeq collated_seq);

    Data would be then accessed as

    sample_seq[i]->data;

    Or else as

    collated_seq[k][I]->data

    State that these samples don't count towards the limits because they
    do not have "data" associated with it. Moreover in view of Ref-84
    there can be at most one such SampleInfo per instance so the
    worst-case needed resources are small and can be taken into account by

Mapping DCPS-DLRL

  • Key: DDS-161

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Virginie Watine)
  • Summary:

    Currently the specified mapping is rather strict with respects to the mapping between the DLRLOid and the DCPS topic keys. When an existing DCPS schema is reused, more flexibility would be desirable
    In particular, there exist cases when there are no DCPS keys at all (should correspond to a singleton class)
    In some circumstances, the indication of the class name while needed in the main topic (to guess what is the type of the corresponding object) is not needed in the relations to objects of that type

    Issue [THALES]:
    Selection could be slightly enhanced, by providing to the filter the fact if the object was previously a member.
    proposal [THALES]

    membership_state enum MembershipState
    in the following text, add the following text to the bullet
    [check ... (check_object);] this method is called with s first parameter the object to be checked and as second parameter an indication whether the object previously passed the filter (membership_state); this last parameter (which is actually an enumeration with three possible values - UNDEFINED_MEMBERSHIP, ALREADY_MEMBER and NOT_MEMBER) is useful when the ObjectFilter is attached to a Selection to allow the writing of optimized filters.
    ref-1051: New definition for Selections (clarification)
    Issue [THALES]
    As notification_scope has been removed from the ObjectHome (cf. issue ref-1049), it is necessary to pass the information whether the modification of objects inside a Selection should be appreciated only on the object basis, or on the object + its contained objects basis
    clarification is requested regarding when the SelectionListener is activated
    Proposal [THALES]
    add a parameter concerns_contained when the Selection is created and add this characteristic in the selection attributes
    add a paragraph to specify when the Selection Listener is activated
    in SelectionListener::on_object_out, the ObjectRoot may no more exist, therefore passing the ObjectReference is better

    "a boolean concerns_contained that indicates whether the Selection considers the modification of one of its members based on its content only (FALSE) or based on it content or the content of its contained objects (TRUE); it is given at Selection creation time(cf. ObjectHome::create_selection);"
    add at the end of the section, the following paragraph:
    "The SelectionListener is activated when the composition of the Selection is modified or when one of its members is modified. A member can be considered as modified, either only when it is itself modified or when itself or one of its contained objects is modifie (depending on the value of concerns_contained). Modifications in the Selection are considered with respects to the state of the Selection last time it was examined, i.e.:
    add one bullet with the following text:
    " at each incoming updates processing if autro_refresh is TRUE;"
    add a second bullet with the following text:

    Ref-161 Behavior_of_register_type

    The specification does not say what happens if the application locally
    tries to define the same "type_name" via register_type

    The case where a different DataType is being "registered" with a name
    that was already used should clearly fail

    The case where the same DataType is registered again with the same
    name could either fail or be idempotent.

    **PROPOSAL**

    State in 2.1.2.3.6 that it is a pre-condition that the same name has
    not already been used to register a different type. In case this is
    attempted the register_type() operation shall return
    PRECONDITION_ERROR

    State in 2.1.2.3.6 the documentation that it is OK to re-register the
    same DataType again with the same type_name. In this case the
    operation is idempotent and returns OK.

    When a contained object is modified, it can be difficult to get the information in the ObjectListener
    In all cases, getting the old value seems useful in certain cases,

    What happens when an application deletes a datawriter? Do all

    have been written but not propagated to remote readers?

    There are two possibilities:

    Approch1 behave as if the application had crashed with regards to the
    readers. The application should have been explicit about the contained
    entities (e.g. unregister/dispose) before deleting the writer.

    Approach2 handle it as any deletion of a container entity. It is a
    pre-condition error if it has any registered instances and the entity
    is not deleted. But also we provide helper operations on the
    DataWriter to unregister_all_instances() and dispose_all_instances().

    **PROPOSAL**

    Use Approach2. Its more explicit and less error-prone.

    Also say that the infrastructure is not required to immediately
    release the resources before returning from the delete but can keep
    them around for a while until is properly has a chance to clean up its
    state, inform remote nodes, etc.

    Section 2.1.4.2 shows in a table that SAMPLE_LOST_STATUS is on the

    is not as useful to the application to know that samples have been
    lost for DataReaders belonging to the Subscriber as it would be to
    know which DataReaders they affected.

    When we first specified this it was thought that it would be hard to
    implement as a status on the DataReader because, given that the
    samples are lost, it would not be clear which DataReader they
    affect. As it turns out the anticipated implementation difficulties
    are not there.

    Section 2.1.3 on the QoS table. The description of the

    "The setting of this QoS is incompatible with RELIABILITY policy set
    to ALL"

    First there is no such setting for reliability policy. It intended to
    say it is incompatible with RELIABILITY 'RELIABLE' and HISTORY
    'KEEP_ALL'.

    However it is unclear why it is necessary introduce such
    incompatibility. It would be better to interpret the meaning of
    RELIABLE and KEEP_ALL to mean that the application desires that all
    samples that pass whichever filters have been specified are propagated
    reliably and kept by the middleware until they can be delivered to the
    DataReader. In other words, the RELIABILITY and HISTORY policies apply
    after the "filter-type" policies apply. The filters determine what is
    of interest, the reliability whether samples lost by the transport
    should be retried and the HISTORY whether to keep old values that have
    not been delivered to the application once a new value
    exist. Interpreted this way all combination of the above policies are
    sensical. This approach also extends to the ContentFilteredTopic

    **PROPOSAL**

    Remove that comment from the TIME_BASED_FILTER QoS

    Add a third paragraph to section 2.1.3.8 that explains that it is
    indeed possible to specify RELIABILITY RELIABLE, and a HISTORY
    KEEP_ALL and still set a TIME_BASED_FILTER. The paragraph would say:

    The setting of a TIME_BASED_FILTER, that is, the selection of a
    minimum_separation with a value greater than zero is compatible with
    all settings of the HISTORY and RELIABILITY QoS. The TIME_BASED_FILTER
    specifies the samples that are of interest to the DataReader. The
    HISTORY and RELIABILITY affect the behavior of the middleware with
    respect to the samples that have been determined to be of interest to
    the DataReader, that is, they apply after the TIME_BASED_FILTER has
    been applied.

    Specify that that if the reliability is RELIABLE then in steady-state
    it should behave as-if the last sample passes the
    TIME_BASED_FILTER. In other words, in steady state the last sample
    should eventually become available to the receiver.

    However the precise semantics of this are not clear. For example is
    the application allows to receive information as soon as the Reader is

    with regards to the TRANSIENT kind. It would appear that there are in
    fact two kinds:

    The first interpretation "TRANSIENT_LOCAL" would have the durability
    tied to the liveliness of the DataWriter..

    The second interpretation "TRANSIENT_GLOBAL would tie the durability
    to the fact that some "durability servide" in the system is still
    executing.

    It should be explained which of these interpretations is meant.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Modify the QoS table in 2.1.3 to separate the TRANSIENT durability
    into two kinds: TRANSIENT_LOCAL and TRANSIENT.

    TRANSIENT_LOCAL ties the durability to the liveliness of the
    writer. This is the mandatory level described in Appendix A.

    TRANSIENT allows the durability to survive the liveliness of the
    DataWriter. Explain this kinds in the table and in section 2.1.3.2

  • Summary:

    In Section 2.1.3, QoS table

    Clarify the LIVELINESS "MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT". What it says is
    correct. But its getting some people confused.

    It says:

    "The Service will assume that as long as at least one Entity within
    the domain has asserted its liveliness the Entity is also alive."

    Some people are mistakenly understanding this as:

    "...at least one Entity within the domain has asserted its liveliness
    the domain is also alive."?

    So maybe its best to say:

    "The Service will assume that as long as at least one Entity within
    the domain has asserted its liveliness the other Entities in the
    domain are also alive."

  • Key: DDS-123
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6829
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    In order to support the BY_SOURCE_TIMESTAMP setting the DataWriter
    needs to take appropriate actions (e.g. embed timestamps). Therefore
    the DESTINATION_ORDER QoS should follow the same request/offered
    pattern other QoSs do.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Modify the QoS table in section 2.1.3 and add DataWriter as in the
    "Concerns" column for DESTINATION_ORDER. Also replace with "Yes" in
    the "RxO" (request/offered) column.

    Add a paragraph to section 2.1.3.11 stating the request/offered
    compatibility as follows:

    The value offered is considered compatible with the value requested if
    and only if the inequality "offered kind >= requested kind" evaluates
    to 'TRUE'. For the purposes of this inequality, the values of
    DESTINATION_ORDER kind are considered ordered such that
    BY_DESTINATION_TIMESTAMP < BY_SOURCE_TIMESTAMP.

  • Key: DDS-122
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6828
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    In case where the OWNERSHIP QoS is EXCLUSIVE, the specification
    describes that ownership is lost if the DataWriter loses its
    liveliness. However it does not describe whether it loses the
    ownership if it misses its deadline with regards to writing the
    instance.

    If this case is left unspecified the most natural interpretations
    would be that the DataWriter does indeed maintain ownership even when
    it is missing its deadlines. This seems undesirable.

    We do not want a DataWriter that has promised to write samples within
    a pre-stated deadline and fails that contract to retain ownership of
    an instance and by so doing starve prevent other writers from writing
    the instance and therefore starve the reader from data. The
    underlying goal is to make the system robust to faults that affect a
    single entity.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Modify section 2.1.3.6.2 (EXCLUSIVE kind) to reflect this. This
    affects several paragraphs:

      • First paragraph

    Replace: The owner is determined by selecting the DataWriter with the
    highest value of the strength that is currently "alive" as defined by
    the LIVELINESS QoS policy.

    With: The owner is determined by selecting the DataWriter with the
    highest value of the strength that is both "alive" as defined by the
    LIVELINESS QoS policy and has not violated its DEADLINE contract with
    regards to the data-instance.

      • First paragraph

    After "Ownership can therefore change as a result of (a) ..."

    Add a forth case (d) a deadline with regards to the instance that is
    missed by the DataWriter that owns the instance.

      • Fifth paragraph

    Modify "It is also required that the owner remains the same until
    there is a change in strength, liveliness, or a new DataWriter with
    higher strength modifies the instance."

    To: "It is also required that the owner remains the same until there
    is a change in strength or liveliness, the owner misses a deadline on
    the instance, or a new DataWriter with higher strength modifies the
    instance."

  • Summary:

    The data available status becomes TRUE when data is available, but
    under what condition does it become FALSE again?

    According the specification when data is taken, but does this only
    apply to the object that is accessed? Or do the status values of other
    objects that become untrue as a result of the take action also need to
    be changed?

    Example: A reader with 3 queries, data arrives and the status of the
    reader and all queries become TRUE. The data is taken via the reader,
    do the status values of the queries become FALSE?

    **PROPOSAL**

    Add the following clarifications to section 2.1.4.4

    DataReader::take() and DataReader::read() changes the status of the
    queries that are no longer true after the 'take'. Since 'take' removes
    the data from the service so its no longer there it would make little
    sense for the status to remain enabled.

    In other words the same way that arrival of data may change the 'data
    available status' of any query, so would the 'taking' or 'reading' of
    data potentially affect all queries.

    Note that this does not mean that waitesets that were attached to the
    query will not be woken up. This is an implementation issue. Once the
    query status changes to 'enabled' it may wake up the attached waitset,
    transitioning to 'not-enabled' does not necessarily 'unwakeup' the
    waitset since this operation is in general not possible. The
    consequence is that the application may be woken up and not see any
    active conditions. This is unavoidable if multiple threads are
    concurrently taking data.

    queue of events) or are they just awaken once when the status changes.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Clarify that there is no implied "queueing". The listeners and
    waitsets are enabled based on the status change but not necessarily
    called/signaled multiple times. This clarification should appear in
    section 2.1.4.

DDS ISSUE# 15] Semantics of register and unregister instance

  • Key: DDS-94
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6800
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Ref-13 Semantics_of_register_unregister_instance

    The semantics of the register_instance and unregister_instance methods
    are not entirely clear. From section 2.1.2.5.1 it seems that both
    methods have, apart from their local memory management purpose on the
    Publisher side, also a purpose with respect to determining the
    LIVELINESS of a DataWriter on the Subscriber side. This means that
    these methods will probably result in network communication as well

    **PROPOSAL**

    Clarify the semantics by adding the following paragraphs as needed to
    sections 2.1.2.5 and to 2.1.3:

    The need for registering/unregistering instances stems from two use
    cases: (1) Ownership resolution on redundant systems, and (2)
    Detection of loss in topological connectivity and the consequent
    difference in the semantics of unregister and dispose (3).

    (1) Ownership resolution on redundant systems

    It is expected that users will use DDS to set up redundant systems
    where multiple DataWriters are "capable" of writing the same
    instance. The data-writers are either configured such that both are
    writing the instance "constantly" or else they use some mechanism to
    monitor each other and only write when they detect that the primary
    "writer" is no longer writing.

    Either of the above two cases uses the OWNERSHIP policy "Exclusive"
    and arbitrate themselves by means of the OWNERSHIP_STRENGTH. The
    desired behavior is that when the "primary" writer stops writing, the
    application should start to receive data from the secondary subscriber

    This approach requires some mechanism to detect that the "writer" is
    no longer "writing" the data as it should. There are several reasons
    why this may be happening and all must be detected (but not
    necessarily distinguished):

    The writing process is no longer running (e.g. the whole application
    has crashed)

    Connectivity to the writing application has been lost (e.g. network
    got disconnected)

    Application logic that was writing the data is faulty and has stopped
    doing so.

    Arbitrating from a writer to one of a higher strength is simple and
    the decision can be taken autonomously by the reader. Switching
    ownership from a higher strength writer to one of a lower strength
    requires that the "reader" application can make a determination that
    the "writer" application is "no longer writing the instance".

    (1.1) Case where the data is periodically updated

    This determination is reasonably simple when the data is being written
    periodically at some rate. The writer simply states its offered
    deadline (maximum interval between updates) and the reader monitors
    that the writer indeed updates the instance at least once per
    deadline_period. If the deadline is missed, the reader considers the
    writer "not alive" and gives ownership to the highest-strength writer
    that is alive

    (1.2) Case where data is not periodically updated

    The case where the writer is not writing data periodically is also a
    very important use-case. Since the data is not being updated at any
    fixed period, the "deadline" mechanism cannot be used to determine
    ownership. The liveliness neatly solves this situation. Ownership is
    maintained while the writer is "alive" and for the writer to be alive
    it must be fulfill its "LIVELINESS" contract. The different means to
    renew liveliness (automatic, manual) combined by the implied renewal
    each time data is written handle the three conditions above (a), (b),
    or (c) ( note that to handle (c) Liveliness must be
    MANUAL_BY_TOPIC). Now the writer can retain ownership by periodically
    writing data or else calling assert_liveliness() if it has no data to
    write. Alternatively if only protection against (a) or (b) is desired,
    it is sufficient that some task on the writer process periodically
    writes data or calls assert_liveliness() on the participant.

    However, this scenario requires that the reader knows what instances
    are being "written" by the writer. That is the only way that the
    reader can maintain ownership of specific instances from the fact that
    the writer is still "alive". Hence the need for the writer to
    "register" and "unregister" instances. Note that while "registration"
    can be done lazily the first time the writer writes the instance,
    "unregistration" in general cannot. Unless we are willing to say that
    once a writer writes an instance it will forever write the instance
    until the writer is deleted. Similar reasoning will lead to the fact
    that unregistration will also require a message to be sent to the
    readers

    (2) Detection of loss in topological connectivity

    There are applications that are designed in such way that their
    correct operation requires some minimal topological connectivity, that
    is, the writer needs to have a minimum number or readers or
    alternatively the reader must have a minimum number of writers.

    A common scenario is that the application does not start doing is
    logic until it knows that some specific writers have the minimum
    configured readers (e.g the alarm monitor is up).

    A more common scenario is that the application logic will wait until
    some writers appear that can provide some needed source of information
    (e.g. the raw sensor data that must be processed).

    Furthermore once the application is running it is a requirement that
    this minimal connectivity (from the source of the data) is monitored
    and the application informed if it is ever lost. For the case where
    data is being written periodically, the DEADLINE QoS and the
    on_deadline_missed() listener provides the notification. The case
    where data is not periodically updated requires the use of the
    LIVELINESS in combination with register/unregister instance to detect
    whether the "connectivity" has been lost, and the notification is
    provided by means of the "NO_WRITERS" lifecycle state.

    In term of the required mechanisms the scenario is very similar to the
    case of maintaining ownership. In both cases the reader needs to know
    whether a writer is still "managing the current value of an instance"
    even though it is not continually writing it and this knowledge
    requires the writer to keep its liveliness plus some means to know
    which instances the writer is currently "managing" (i.e. the
    registered instances).

    Note that the need to notify the reader that a particular instance has
    no writers does not imply that the mechanism is the use of a
    "NO_WRITES" lifecycle. We could just as well use a listener. The
    listener mechanism has the problem that there is no way to know which
    instances are the ones that have no writers. But this is also a
    problem for the "on_deadline_missed" listener so we think it would be
    a good idea to refractor these two mechanisms to that they are similar
    in nature and both provide the means to determine which instances have
    the problem.

    (3) Difference between unregister and dispose

    Dispose is different than unregister. The "dispose" indicates that the
    data-instance no longer exists (e.g. a track that has disappeared, a
    simulation entity that has been destroyed, a record entry that has
    been deleted, etc.) whereas the "unregister" indicates that the writer
    is no longer taking responsibility for updating the value of the
    instance.

    Deleting a data-writer is equivalent to unregistering all the
    instances it was writing, but is not the same as "disposing" all the
    instances.

    For a topic with EXCLUSIVE ownership if the current owner of an
    instance disposes it, the readers an instance will see the lifecycle
    as being "DELETED" and not see the values being written by the weaker
    writer (even after the stronger one has disposed the instance). This
    is because the owner of the instance is saying that the instance no
    longer exists (e.g. the master of the database is saying that a record
    has been deleted) and thus the readers should see it as such.

    For a topic with EXCLUSIVE ownership if the current owner of an
    instance unregisters it than it will relinquish ownership and thus the
    readers will see the value updated by another writer (which will then
    become the owner). This is because the owner said that it no longer
    will be providing values for the instance and thus any other writer
    can take ownership and provide those values

DDS ISSUE# 31] Topic QoS refactor

  • Key: DDS-111
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6817
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Ref-86 Topic_qos_refactor and Ref-150
    Tracking_of_topic_properties_by_reader_writer

    The reason for the DDS specification to add QoS to the Topic was to
    allow annotating the information-model with Topic QoS settings. That
    way it is possible for the individual applications and their designers
    to be relieved from many details and configure the writers/readers
    from this information model.

    However the definition of the Topic QoS does not match this.

    Section 2.1.2.4.3.2 describes a model where if the QoS is 'not set' on
    a dataWriter or a DataReader, then the one of the Topic is used
    instead. Furthermore it says that in this situation the QoS of the
    Entity will "track" that of the Topic.

    These statements are not consistent with the PIM or PSM as there is no
    way provided to 'not set' a QoS. All the API's force complete setting
    of the QoS.

    Furthermore the 'tracking' behavior would be very hard to implement
    and it would also be very confusing for an user that has a QoS of an
    entity magically change when the QoS of the topic changes. Lastly it
    would also be hard to handle the case where as a result of the
    'tracking' the QoS of an entity becomes incompatible with that of
    other entities already associated with it.

    Given all this it would be desirable to make the use of Topic QoS
    consistent with the API's and also simpler to implement and understand

    **PROPOSAL**

    Modify section 2.1.2.4.3.2.

    Remove all references to behaviors regarding what happens if some QoS
    is "not set" rather say that QoS is always explicitly set although it
    can be set from defaults in the factories.

    Also remove the sentence regarding how the entity QoS can "track" the
    Topic qos.

    Explain that the pattern to create an entity with "default" QoS is to
    get the default qos from the factory, and also get it from the Topic,
    and then modify the desired policies before creating the entity.

    To assist this common pattern we recommend adding the following
    utility operations:

    Publisher::initialize_from_topic_qos(inout DataReaderQos qos, in Topic
    a_topic, in long mask)

    Subscriber::initialize_from_topic_qos(inout DataWriterQos qos, in
    Topic a_topic, in long mask)

    Specify that all QoS on Topic is immutable.

  • Summary:

    Ref-?? Setting_default_qos_on_factories

    The specification provides a way to create Entities with QoS by
    explicitly providing the QoS when the entity is created.

    In some cases it would be desirable to provide a pattern such that
    many entities can be easily created with the same QoS without the
    application explicitly. Thst way the management of the Qos can be
    "centralized" in few modules in the application logic

    **PROPOSAL**

    Add the following operations:

    DomainParticipant::set_default_publisher_qos(),
    DomainParticipant::get_default_publisher_qos(),
    DomainParticipant::set_default_subscriber_qos(),
    DomainParticipant::get_default_subscriber_qos(),
    Publisher::set_default_datawriter_qos(),
    Publisher::get_default_datawriter_qos(),
    Subscriber::set_default_datawriter_qos(),
    Subscriber::get_default_datawriter_qos().

    This allows the application to set a default QoS for the entities that
    the factory will create, and then explicitly use that QoS to create
    the entities.

    Furthermore specify that if the set_default_xxx_qos operations are not
    called then the get_default_xxx_qos will return the defaults specified
    in section 2.1.3

  • Summary:

    ] Initialization of resources needed to implement
    DURABILITY TRANSIENT or PERSISTENT

    ***Ref-91 Configuration_of_the_transient_and_persistent_service

    The DDS specification does not provide a clear model of the behavior
    of the service when the DURABILITY QoS is set to TRANSIENT or
    PERSISTENT

    Moreover for the application needs to be able to specify the QoS
    parameters and resources that the implementation is allowed to use
    when implementing this service.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Add the following explanation to section 2.1.3.2:

    For the purpose of implementing the the DURABILITY QoS settings of
    TRANSIENT, PERSISTENT the service behaves "as if" it had a "built-in
    DataReader and DataWriter" for each Topic that is configured to have
    said DURABILITY kind. In other words, it is "as if" somewhere in the
    system (possibly on a remote node) there was a "built-in durability"
    DataReader that subscribed to that Topic and a "built-in durability"
    DataWriter that published that Topic as needed for the new subscribers
    that join the system.

    For each Topic, the built-in "persistence service"
    datareader/datawriter has its QoS configured from the Topic QoS for
    that Topic as described in Issue Topic_qos_refactor (Issue #86). In
    otherwords, it is as-if the service first did a
    "Participant::lookup_topic" for that Topic, and then used the QoS on
    the Topic to configure the built-in entities.

    As a consequence of this model, the transient or persistence serviced
    can be configured by means of setting the proper QoS on the Topic.

    For a given Topic, the usual request/offered semantics apply to the
    matching between any DataWriter in the system that writes the Topic
    and the built-in transient/persistent DataReader for that
    Topic. Similarly for the builtin transient/persistent DataWriter for
    the Topic and any DataReader for the Topic. As a consequence, a
    DataWriter that has an incompatible QoS with respect to what the Topic
    specified for the built-in transient/persistent DataReader will not
    send its data to the transient/persistent service, and a DataReader
    that has incompatible QoS with respect to the specified in the Topic
    for the transient/persistent DataWriter will not get data from it.

    Incompatibilities between local DataReader/DataWriter entities and the
    corresponding builtin transient/persistent entities cause the
    "incompatible qos" listener to be invoked as they would with any other
    entity.

DDS ISSUE# 25] Addition of read and take to ReadCondition

  • Summary:

    Ref-60 Adding_read_take_to_ReadCondition

    Why not have a read and take operation on readcondition instread of
    read_w_condition and take_w_condition?

    In the current situation the middleware must perform consistency
    checking and handle error conditions.

    Moving the read and take to the readCondition will require generation
    of typed interfaces but this is merely a wrapper around the current
    situation avoiding the error prone design.

    For example, if a Waitset has many query conditions. Then the
    application would need to find the reader that matches it. Adding a
    get_reader in the querycondition would not give a strongly-typed
    reader.

    The simplest solution is to have a read in the querycondition.

    **PROPOSAL**

    create the ReadCondition and QueryReadCondition as implied IDL

    We will move create_readcondition to the FooDataReader

    Add a read to the Read and QueryConditions

    Remove the read_w_condition from the DataReader and FooDataReader

    Ref-64 Association_of_status_and_statuschangedflag

    Why does every status have an associated object "StatusChangedFlag"
    instead of a boolean attribute "changed"?

    Figure 2-14 (2.1.4.2) is at least misleading and should be clarified
    regarding this point. It suggests a 1 to n relation with a
    "StatusChangedFlag" class.

    Even though the diagram was only meant as conceptual explanation, not
    for providing an implementation architecture it would be desirable to
    improve specification in this respect.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Add text to 2.1.4.2 to explain that this figure is conceptual and
    simply represents that the Entity knows which specific statuses have
    changed, it does not imply a particular implementation in terms of
    Boolean flags.

  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Ref-17 PartitionQos_behavior_on_change

    The specification does not make it clear whether changing the
    PARTITION QoS on a Publisher or Subscriber affects the existing
    DataReader or DataWriter establishing some "associations" that did not
    exist before, or breaking associations that existed.

    Furthermore the specification does not describe whether the
    INCOMPATIBLE_QOS listeners/ status will be triggered

    Given that partitions are intended to be used to separate logically
    separate 'communication words' so that you can isolate things it would
    seem that changing partitions should affect existing DataReader and
    writers and not trigger the INCOMPATIBLE_QOS.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Modify section 2.1.3.9 to clarify that (1) changing the PARTITION QoS
    on a Publisher or Subscriber does affect the existing DataReader or
    DataWriter entities. It may establish new "associations" that did not
    exist before, or break existing associations.

    Also explain in section 2.1.3.9 that not matching the PARTITION QoS
    does not trigger the INCOMPATIBLE_QOS listener nor change the
    associated status.

  • Summary:

    Ref-14 Relationship_of_IDL_and_expression_syntax

    The fieldnames and topicnames used in SQL expressions need to be
    language-independent. This means that they have to be derived from the
    IDL-definition. The SQL description in Annex A/B does not define the
    relationship between the FIELDNAME and the IDL definition.

    Example, assume the following IDL definition:

    module mymodule { struct mystruct

    { long record; }

    ; };

    The SQL statement could become "SELECT record AS value FROM
    mymodule.mystruct ...".

    The field "record" would be translated into "IDL_record" by an ADA
    preprocessor. The SQL-statement should still use "record" to be
    language independent. This is a generic situation that occurs for each
    language when the name of the field matches a reserved keyword.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Improve specification "Annex A/B" stating that the syntax of the SQL
    statement will match the names used in IDL not necessarily those of
    the language mapping.

    Delete operations on Entities are only allowed if all other Entities

    Topic have been deleted first)

    The specification does not explain what happens if an application

    2.1.2.2.1.8, 2.1.2.2.1.10, and 2.1.2.2.2.2.

    Given that Topic object can be obtained by means of the
    DomainParticipant::create_topic operation as well as the
    DomainParticipant::lookup_topic operation there is an ambiguity
    regarding the deletion of Topic objects prior to deleting the
    DomainParticipant. Should the application call delete just on the ones
    it obtained by means of "create_topic" or also on the ones obtained by
    means of "lookup_topic"

    dependent or contained entities the operation will fail and return

  • Summary:

    Attributes_on_a_topic_description Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Some use-cases need more control on association of DataReader and DataWriters beyond the control offered by means of the Topic ? For example, SOSCOE may need to add a layer on top of the DDS API to offer additional customized services to the applications that sit on top. These services may include the propagation of identity-certificates, security, dynamic selection of the “best” DataWriter to use for a given Topic, etc. ? These mechanisms would like to benefit from the propagation of Topics and QoS that DDS offers and extend that mechanism with additional information that can then be used by the SOSCOE layer to provide these additional services. ? However the matching that DDS offers is performed only on the topic name. It would be useful to have a more extensible mechanism to allow matching on other application-defined attributes. ? These attributes are an expansion of the topic_name that appears in the TopicDescription. In addition to the string (topic_name) we could have a set of attribute-name/value pairs that could then be used to match the writers with readers. In a sense the topic_name would be a singular, mandatory attribute used for matching but they could be others. ? These attributes are not mutable. ? SOSCOE has created a provider property class that allows applications to have attributes with typed values; it becomes a triplet (name, type, value). Currently the “type” only supports simple types, but the intent is to extend it to well-known structured types. ? For example, the Topic “weather data” would describe a general topic but there may be an attribute that describes the region (e.g. “North America”) and the subscriber can specify they want weather-data but only over “North America” Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? One approach would be to add a set of “name-value” attributes to the TopicDescription. Matching would be done not only on the topic-name but also on the remaining attributes. In a sense, the topic name is just one of the attributes that must be matched between the Topic that is published and that which is subscribed.

Additional_communication_paradigms

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2010 Additional_communication_paradigms Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? In addition to the Data-Distribution model, our applications also need two basic communication models; Point2Point and GroupCommunications. ? The API’s and PIM defined in DDS would fit well with those communication models as well. That is, the concept of typed DataReaders and DataWriters that are configured by means of QoS and interact with the user-level application by means of listeners and conditions are all applicable to Point2Point and GroupCommunications. ? It would therefore be useful to introduce extensions such that the application can use these additional communication models in a way that fits naturally with the data-distribution PIM. ? In Boeing SOSCOE’s applications Point2Point communications: • Represent 1-to-1 bi-directional communication channels similar to UNIX “pipes” that can be configured by means of QoS • Are “connection-oriented” in the sense that each endpoint must explicitly establish the “connection” and is made aware if the “connection” is broken • Allow the application to read-write typed data to the other end-point. Each “writer” in one side of the connection communicates with the corresponding “reader” at the other end. In general each writer must be matched by a reader at the opposite end. Otherwise it is a configuration error. • Allow prioritization among the data written by different writers by means of QoS • Allow both synchronous and asynchronous writes. • Support the concept of application-level acknowledgements or “transactional” messaging by which the writing application can receive notification that the reading application has received the message and has positively acted on it. • Support the classic “client-connect versus server-listen/accept” pattern such that the “server” side can establish multiple dedicated point-to-point connections to each “client” that requests a connection. • Filters are not generally expected to be required for Point2Point communications. However, in order to keep the same API they should be allowed. The middleware should automatically give positive acknowledgement of reliable or transactional data that has been filtered out. • It is an error for a data-writer to write a Topic that does not have a corresponding data-reader. The writer() call should return a special error code indication there is no matching DataReader. In Boeing SOSCOE’s applications GroupCommunications : • Provide the capability for a group of peer applications to organize themselves into a “group”, such that each member of the group is aware of the presence of all other members and can send messages directed to either one specific peer, all the peers in the group, or a subset of the members of the group. • Provide some means to control group membership. • Each member of the group is identified by some “ID” such that other members can refer to it and direct messages to it. • Provide a serialized view of membership and delivery of messages such that: • The writer knows the membership when it sends each message and anybody that does not belong to that membership will not get the message. • All members of the group have the same view of the membership for each message delivered to them. • Do not need to provide total order or even agreed order. • Act as a “live” group in that messages are only delivered to the members that are present when the message is sent. In other words, it does not store messages on behalf of future members of the group • It is OK to write a DataWriter that does not have a corresponding DataReader on some of the other Group members. The data is considered acknowledged for RELIABLE but not for the purpose of TRANSACTIONAL (ref issue# 2060). Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Consider introducing a more primitive concept for a group of endpoints, from which the following classes derive: Publisher, Subscriber, EndpointConnector, and GroupConnector. ? This base class could be called “Connector” but does not really mean a “connection” in the “TCP” sense, rather the “connectivity” into the middleware services. ? All these “Connectors” act as factories for DataReader and DataWriter entities (which represent the Endpoints). ? The type of the DataReader and DataWriter created from each kind of “Connector” is the same (even though they will act differently). This is because the DataReader and DataWriter are typed facades to write a specific data-type and it is not desirable to have to create (by means of implied IDL) different types for each kind of connector. ? The EndpointConnectors and GroupConnectors are informed of the connections/disconnections by means of Listeners with an “onConnect” and “onDisconnect” operations. ? For Point2Point communication the factory of DataReader and DataWriter entities would be the EndpointConnector • To match the two EndpointConnector objects that should be “hooked up” the application could use either a Topic, or a more general matching of “Attibute-value” pairs, or a combination of the above. • To aid in the establishment of many point2point connectors using the client-connect, server-listen/accept pattern the EndpointConnector could use an auxiliary “ServerConnector” and corresponding listeners that would inform it of the fact that clients are attempting a connection. ? For Group communications the factory of DataReader and DataWriter entities would be the GroupConnector • The same generic mechanism used by the EndpointConnector should be used to identify the group the GroupConnector entities are joining, that is either a Topic, or a more general matching of “Attibute-value” pairs, or a combination of the above. Comments[RTI] ? To avoid confusion it might be a good idea to propose a name other than “connector” for the base class and also avoid the use of the terms “client” and “server” which are often associated with the pattern of communications used by CORBA and RMI. ? Point2Point communications would never use KEEP_LAST QoS. They will use KEEP_ALL. They will also always have DURABILITY TRANSIENT. In a sense messages are sent to the other end “immediately” and held only as long as is necessary to ensure the QoS (e.g. RELIABLE or TRANSACTIONAL) afterwards they are removed from the middleware.

    In the IDL file, these getter methods are specified as readonly

    "get_". This leads to getter methods with different names in different
    languages (In C++ the"get_" part will disappear, in Java only the "_"
    will disappear).

    These IDL-to-language mappings would invalidate the PIM. To avoid
    this kinds of issues we should avoid using attributes in either the
    PIM or the PSM. The use of explicit operations will make the PIM more
    easily mappede to different PSMs.

    Replace the readonly attributes in the PIM or PSM with explicit
    get_xxx operations. Replace any read-write attributes attributes in
    the PIM or PSM with explicit get_xxx and set_xxx operations.

  • Summary:

    ***Ref-05 IDL_case_sensitive

    In the PSM, the IDL uses as formal parameter names the same string as
    the name of the type only distinguished by the case. This appears to
    treat IDL as a case sensitive language which is not, and would result
    in problems in languages such as ADA that are not case sensitive.

    This problem appears in several paces where "topic" appears as the
    formal parameter name of an argument of type "Topic". For instance the
    operations TopicListener::on_inconsistent_topic,
    DomainParticipant::delete_topic, Subscriber::create_datareader
    Similarly "listener" appears as the formal parameter name of an
    argument of a type derived from Listener. For instance the operations
    DomainParticipant::create_publisher,
    DomainParticipant::create_subscriber, DomainParticipant::create_topic,
    DomainParticipantFactory::create_participant
    Publisher::create_datawriter, Subscriber::create_datareader

    **PROPOSAL** To avoid confusion use "a_topic" for the formal
    parameter name of any parameter of type "Topic", or any specialization
    of Topic.

    Similarly use "a_listener" for the formal parameter name of any
    parameter of type "Listener", or any specialization of Topic.

Additional_qos_LIFESPAN Issue

  • Key: DDS-36
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6740
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2100 Additional_qos_LIFESPAN Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? The LIFESPAN Qos Policy that prevents “stale” data from being delivered to receiving applications. ? The LIFESPAN defines a time period for which the data should live. If a message cannot be delivered before the specified time period, the message is dropped. This value is expressed in time units, it should not be confused with a network-level Time-To-Live (TTL), that could be set on network connections which is expressed in number of hops. ? LIFESPAN is specified as a “span” that is a time interval measured from the time the data is written. ? LIFESPAN should be mutable. ? LIFESPAN needs to be specified only in the writer side. ? Note that this QoS assumes that the sender and receiving applications have their clocks sufficiently synchronized. ? The filtering could be done on the sending side, on the receiving side, or both. It would be an implementation decision that would only affect performance but would otherwise not be observable by the application. ? If data is dropped because the LIFESPAN value expires, Reliable and Transactional QoS would still require the writer to be notified of the failure to deliver. Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Introduce the LIFESPAN Qos.

Additional_qos_DATA_PRIORITY Issue

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2090 Additional_qos_DATA_PRIORITY Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Need for additional DATA_PRIORITY Qos on the DataWriter. This Policy defines a priority that is associated with the data contained in a message and would serve two purposes: • 1) It would provide a prioritization mechanism for the transport, and • 2) It would determine how the receiver queues things in the data reader ? For the SOSCOE application this policy would have to support at least 5 values each with descending priority: (Flash_Override, Flash, Immediate, Priority, Routine) ? Ideally there would be a way to propagate and map this to whatever underlying transport is being used to send the messages. ? In its effect on the queuing on the receiving side it acts as a DESTINATION_ORDER QoS. In effect, the order would be BY_PRIORITY. ? Note that it would be possible to have DESTINATION_ORDER BY_PRIORITY and HISTORY KEEP_LAST. In this case, the reader may throw away the higher priority data if another message arrives. This is OK. If this is not the desired behavior, then the application should specify KEEP_ALL (which is expected to be the normal use in practice). Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Add a DATA_PRIORITY Qos.

For example there is no way to determine & enumerate the remote readers that are “associated” with a local writer, or the remote writers associated with a local reader. ?

Writer_notification_of_delivery_failure Issue

  • Key: DDS-33
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6736
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2070 Writer_notification_of_delivery_failure Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? This requirement applies to Point2Point and Group communications, not to Pub/Sub. ? In the case where the QoS is set to RELIABLE or TRANSACTIONAL there is a need for the application to be notified of delivery failures and also find out the delivery-status of individual messages. ? The application needs to get delivery confirmation with the granularity of a single message. ? Notification of delivery can be either synchronous (wait for delivery) or asynchronous (notification via listener). Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Add DataWriterListener::on_sent_data_lost and DataWriterListener::on_sent_data_received listener methods to notify sender asynchronously of reliable message send status ? Add UserListenerData for use in transactional and reliable processing. This data is specified on each write() and given back to the user through the DataWriterListener::on_sent_data_lost and DataWriterListener::on_sent_data_received methods to help the user determine what should be done with the data. ? Provide a way to get the ID of each message written (WriteMessageID). This can be used by the user to learn more about the message that was lost or received and is used by the system to track transactional and reliable messages that might have to be present. This id is passed to the on_sent_data_lost and on_sent_data_received listener methods and could become invalid at the end of those methods (the system must have some consistent way of determining when to clean up). Comment [RTI] ? In order for the application to find out the status of an individual message it needs to have some way to identify each message. Currently the DDS specification does not provide said mechanism. ? There are several ways to extend DDS to provide message identification functionality. • One way would be to change the return value of DataWriter::write() to return some kind of messageID or handle that can be used to refer to that message. Or alternatively return the messageId as an out parameter. However, this approach may complicate the application which now would need to perhaps track these IDs. • Another would be to add an operation to DataWriter to get the messageId of the last message written. This would have the advantage that it does not require a change of the API, just an extension. However, this would be potentially less efficient and also not safe if multiple application threads are using the same DataWriter to send information. • Another approach is that the MessageId would only be available by means of the callback. • With regards to the UserListenerData, it appears it needs to be either a parameter to the write call, or else something that could be set using a separate call. The first would clearly be more efficient but increases the complexity of the write API.

Transactional_reliability Issue

  • Key: DDS-32
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6735
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2060 Transactional_reliability Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? For the case of Point2Point and Group communications there is a need to have “application-level” reliability where the sender can find out if a message was (1) delivered to the receiving application(s) and (2) whether it was successfully processed by the receiving application(s). ? SOSCOE uses the name “TRANSACTIONAL” to refer to this kind of application-level message-processed confirmation. ? This would only make sense for HISTORY QoS KEEP_ALL. TRANSACTIONAL and KEEP_LAST would be considered inconsistent QoS settings. Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Add the kind TRANSACTIONAL to Reliability QoS policy ? Add DataReader::set_transaction_status (or some operation to allow receiving application to accept or reject a transactional message) ? Add listener operations to the DataWriter to get notified of the transactional status. Potentially add also a method to the DataWriter to query the transactional status. ? Add a DataWriter::rewrite(WriteMessageID). This only applies to EndpointConnectors or GroupConnectors that have transactional QoS set. This handles the case where the message was transmitted to the receiving end and put on the reader queue successfully but the reading application does not set the transactional status indicating that the message was processed. The rewrite() is a convenience so that the writing application does not have to re-create the message but is being treated by the infrastructure as a message that needs to be sent again because the reader has presumably erased it from its queues.

Extension_to_the_partition_qos

  • Key: DDS-31
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6731
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2030 Extension_to_the_partition_qos Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? The DDS specification provides the means for an application to configure the “connectivity” of DataReaders and DataWriters by setting the PARTITION QoS on the corresponding Publisher and Subscriber. ? Partitions therefore provide means for publishers and subscribers to restrict the associations that can be established between the readers and writers they contain. ? This facility is useful, but the fact that the matching is done by strict string matching of the partition-name strings can be limiting. ? It would be desirable to have something more extensible like “name-value” pairs and some more flexible expression language (e.g. a filter expression) to indicate the matching, beyond pure string matching. ? SOSCOE has created a provider property class that allows applications to have attributes with typed values; it becomes a triplet (name, type, value). Currently the “type” only supports simple types, but the intent is to extend it to well-known structured types (ref Issue#2035). ? A potential use case is to use name-value pairs to identify the source of the information or a distribution restriction. Things like AREA_NAME, SENSOR_GROUP, etc. each with its value. ? This is the analogous to the attribute-value pairs on the topic except they apply to the Publisher/Subscriber or EndpointConnectors. Proposal [Boeing] ? Addition of a set of name-value pairs to the Publisher and Subscriber (in fact to all Connectors) which can then be used to determine whether the endpoints contained in the connectors should communicate ? The attributes in the Connector can be used to locate providers of interest or somehow the “best” provider where “best” can be specific to each peer Connector. ? The query language described in Appendix A would not be sufficient for SOSCOE’s needs due to the need for function expressions and, at some future time, the ability to support well-known structured types (ref Issue#2035).
