TOPIC-BASED DATA ROUTING IN A PUBLISH-SUBSCRIBE MESSAGING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Techniques for providing topic-based data routing in a publish-subscribe messaging environment are disclosed. In one example, a system supported by hardware in a publish-subscribe messaging environment may include a message broker to receive topic metadata at a first instance according to a first interval into a predefined fixed topic. Further, the system may include a topic list subscriber that subscribes to the predefined fixed topic and obtains a list of topics from the message broker. Furthermore, the system may include a subscription manager to assign topics in the list of topics to a set of subscribers according to a criteria. In one example, the message broker may route data corresponding to the topics to the set of subscribers in accordance with the topics assigned to the set of subscribers.
