Kaiwa is simple experiment to rebuild the functionalities offered by XMPP using JRUBY and Celluloid

Kaiwa is still an experiment and not suitable for any production use. It may as well have way too many bugs

To try it in IRB

require 'kaiwa'
Kaiwa::Launcher.run
u1 = Kaiwa::Manager.create_user('supersid')
u2 = Kaiwa::Manager.create_user('piyoo')
u1.send_message("Hello world", u2)


D, [2014-12-12T18:27:14.280000 #31322] DEBUG -- : supersid: Hello world - _piyoo_   

Kaiwa launches actors for each users and accepts messages using the basic mailbox approach. It uses the exclusive or Erlang mode for each actor's receive loop.

A lot of ideas are shamelessly stolen from how sidekiq operates.

The goal is to persist messages sent onto redis.

1. Basic messaging.
2. Acknowledgements.
3. Message persistance.
4. Presence.
5. Push support.
6. Support for Redis Sentinel.
