perfsonar development work

[Herbert Souza <>]

Thanks Maciej and Andreas,



I think that the LS could accept other Query Request Messages
(messages with symbolic
queries).
This should remove the proxy from the scene, therefore I think that the
communication customer -> proxy -> LS can cause loss of performance. 



Thus the LS could receive query messages with xQuery
and symbolic queries, and doesn’t limit the functionality of the LS. Is it 
possible?

Hi Herbert,

LS Proxy service - that's something we (you and me) were writing about a 
long time ago. As far as I remember you mentioned that a set of 
pre-defined queries to the LS should be established - in order to avoid 
making XQuery expressions. Then you wanted to do it inside LS, but it'd 
limit the functionality of the LS, so I didn't agree.

Then the topic returned during the perfSONAR Meeting in Ann Arbor in 
April 2006 (it was mentioned and discussed a bit by Jeff, Fausto and me).

Finally, I decided to put it into the agenda, because it could help 
client developers (and other service programmers) to develop their 
application in easier way.

"symbolic queries to pre-defined XQuery" means:

Communication

    client ----> LS Proxy -----> LS
    client <----(LS Proxy)<----- LS

client sends for example:

--------------------------------------------------------
    query: give_metadata_for
    parameter: serviceType=MA
--------------------------------------------------------
/of course that's an example and the query 'language' may be different 
but 'give_metadata_for' means predefined query such as:/

which will be translated to:

--------------------------------------------------------
    declare namespace nmwg = http://....;
    declare namespace psservice = http://....;

    for i in /nmwg:store[type='LSStore']/nmwg:metadata
    let $s:=$i/nmwg:subject/psservice:service
    where $s/psservice:serviceType = 'MA'
    return $i;
--------------------------------------------------------

and sent to LS.
