Alternate Data Sharing Mechanisms
Discussion
Social Registry supports Data Sharing mechanisms. Apart from the mechanisms already described, alternate data-sharing mechanisms are being considered for large-volume data sharing across networks.
While Kafka can be used for data sharing it has the following limitations:
It recreates partitions if the TCP connection drops (explain)
Accessing Kafka across networks on the Internet is a challenge as it does not run on standard ports like 80,443. This makes it hard to make it work across systems as firewall rules prevent access to non-standard ports.
So Kafka is a great option for sharing data within a network, or data center but not for sharing data across data centers.
In OpenG2P we are considering similar system for sharing registry data for printing of social ID cards.
