Re: [Tracker] Research on using private DBus connections for tracker-indexer/extract

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade gmail com>]

Hi all, Carlos,

 Good work! it looks like the improvement doesnt justify the complexity of the implementation. I think it is ok to use the standard dbus to communicate our processes, so no need to continue with the patch. I expected much more of this "direct communication" stuff in dbus.

Hi!

I've been investigating the usage of private peer-to-peer connections
between trackerd and tracker-indexer, and between tracker-indexer and
tracker-extract.

Things turn out to be quite more complicated, since we have to make
tracker handle the other peer disconnecting, (re)spawning it, etc...

to compensate the extra complexity.

Wrt making tracker-indexer and tracker-extract "private" DBus-wise, I'd
better recommend making these drop petition that don't come from
org.freedesktop.Tracker, or just disable introspection and rename the
services as org.freedesktop.Tracker.Private.[Indexer|Extract], as the
miscellaneous gvfs services do.

Any opinions? I'm attaching my half-cooked patch in case anybody finds a
reason to continue with this.

Regards,
