Expand description
The Component module defines the top-level API for building distributed applications.
A distributed application consists of a set of Component that can host one or more Endpoint. Each Endpoint is a network-accessible service that can be accessed by other Component in the distributed application.
A Component is made discoverable by registering it with the distributed runtime under
a Namespace.
A Namespace is a logical grouping of Component that are grouped together.
We might extend namespace to include grouping behavior, which would define groups of components that are tightly coupled.
A Component is the core building block of a distributed application. It is a logical
unit of work such as a Preprocessor or SmartRouter that has a well-defined role in the
distributed application.
A Component can present to the distributed application one or more configuration files which define how that component was constructed/configured and what capabilities it can provide.
Other Component can write to watching locations within a Component etcd path. This allows the Component to take dynamic actions depending on the watch triggers.
