Introducing Miranda: How it all Fits Together: New Events

In preparation for a talk I'm giving at DOSUG I'm going to post my thoughts as they develop.

Putting it all together, when a client sends an Event (we'll use a POST for this example) to a Miranda Topic, the system records the new Event and starts a write.  At the same time, it "tells" the Cluster about the new Event.

Graphically (primitively) it looks like this:

Client          Event           Event           Writer          Cluster

                Listener        Manager

|               |               |               |               |

POST            |               |               |               |

--------------->|               |               |               |

|               new POST        |               |               |

|               --------------->|               |               |

|               |               write events file               |

|               |               --------------->|               |

|               |               new POST        |               |
