[kura-dev] Cloud-related APIs refactoring

["Maiero, Matteo" <matteo.maiero@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

In order to enable Kura to be used with a wider range of cloud providers, in the past few weeks we started a refactoring and improvement process that is currently ongoing in the enh_cloudPublishers branch [1].

We tried to explain the technical choices taken in a wiki document available at [2]. It tries to give a general overview of the proposed architecture, providing a textual description as well as some schemas (UML-like) to describe the concepts and the abstractions created.

At the bottom of the page you can also find some UI mockups that are proposals to enrich the current UI and provide a more convenient way to interact with the new Publisher and Subscriber abstractions.

Note that the provided branch implements fully the proposed API changes (apart for the dedicated UI changes) and provides also a new bundle named org.eclipse.kura.cloud.mqtt.eclipseiot [3] that implements the so-called “Berlin namespace” or "Eclipse IoT WG Messaging Protocol” and allows to connect and communicate with the Hono MQTT adapter.

Every feedback and suggestion is more than welcome!

Best regards,

Matteo
