Feature: Implement Distributed Messaging for Warlock

Problem Statement

The current implementation of the Warlock message service in Hazaar MVC is limited to a single instance, which restricts its scalability and fault tolerance. To enhance its capabilities, Warlock needs to be made distributed, allowing communication with other instances on different hosts or containers.

Who will benefit?

Developers and system administrators will benefit from a more scalable and robust messaging service that can operate across multiple hosts or containers, improving system reliability and performance.

Benefits and risks

Benefits

• Enhances scalability by allowing multiple instances of Warlock to communicate across different hosts or containers.
• Improves fault tolerance and redundancy in the messaging system.

Risks

• Increased complexity in managing and coordinating multiple Warlock instances.
• Potential challenges in ensuring message consistency and synchronization across distributed instances.

Proposed solution

1. Refactor Warlock to support distributed messaging, enabling communication with other instances on different hosts or containers.
2. Implement mechanisms to ensure message consistency and synchronization across distributed instances.
3. Ensure security measures are in place for communication between instances.
