Hi Chris,
just curious, why do you think that file observation is good solution?
I guess the question is, why do you think it is not? If you were to do something like pipes, that would just be a file anyway, so you wouldn't really get much efficiency gains.
Now, I agree, we eventually want to switch to QMF; that will allow us to do it over the network, meaning we can have condor running on a different machine from the aggregator. But at the moment I don't really see a compelling need to move to anything but QMF.
I agree, there's nothing wrong with the file observation method we are using now. The format is good (XML) and we can use eg inotify or other mechanism (kqueue on bsd) to be notified of new data.
AFAIK QMF is still not prime time for condor, though I should poke in on that front again now as it's been some time.
