9.3. Stream Processing Offload Engine (SPOE)

filter spoe [engine ] config

Arguments :

  1. <name>      is the engine name that will be used to find the right scope in
  2.             the configuration file. If not provided, all the file will be
  3.             parsed.
  4.  
  5. <file>      is the path of the engine configuration file. This file can
  6.             contain configuration of several engines. In this case, each
  7.             part must be placed in its own scope.
  1. The Stream Processing Offload Engine (SPOE) is a filter communicating with
  2. external components. It allows the offload of some specifics processing on the
  3. streams in tiered applications. These external components and information
  4. exchanged with them are configured in dedicated files, for the main part. It
  5. also requires dedicated backends, defined in HAProxy configuration.
  6.  
  7. SPOE communicates with external components using an in-house binary protocol,
  8. the Stream Processing Offload Protocol (SPOP).

  11. "doc/SPOE.txt".

  13. Important note:
  14.     The SPOE filter is highly experimental for now and was not heavily
  15.     tested. It is really not production ready. So use it carefully.
