Re: RMI Not Scalable?

Keep the socket open for every client? I don't think that would scale
and it wouldn't impact the thread situation. For 10,000 connections
(that only need to be open some of the time to post data) I would have
40,000 permanent threads and it's doubtful I would have enough sockets
to keep that many active connection even when they weren't necessary.
That is not solution #1, solution #1 would still have short lived socket
connections.

I am wondering why don't you just let each of the slaves keep the RMI
connections open permanently?? Ok, you will end up with 2 sockets per
slave per concurrent call (which could be 1), but those should be
cheaper and easier to manage and monitor than the flurry of threads.
