|
|
|
|
|
a particular event. The transaction ID used will be included in the event's
|
|
|
|
|
``unsigned`` data as ``transaction_id`` when it arrives through the event stream.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Clients unable to make use of the transaction ID are more likely to experience
|
|
|
|
|
flickering due to the following two scenarios, however the effect can be mitigated
|
|
|
|
|
to a degree:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The client sends a message and the remote echo arrives on the event stream
|
|
|
|
|
*after* the request to send the message completes.
|
|
|
|
|
- The client sends a message and the remote echo arrives on the event stream
|
|
|
|
|
*before* the request to send the message completes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the first scenario, the client will receive an event ID when the request to
|
|
|
|
|
send the message completes. This ID can be used to identify the duplicate event
|
|
|
|
|
when it arrives on the event stream. However, in the second scenario, the event
|
|
|
|
|
arrives before the client has obtained an event ID. This makes it impossible to
|
|
|
|
|
identify it as a duplicate event. This results in the client displaying the
|
|
|
|
|
message twice for a fraction of a second before the the original request to send
|
|
|
|
|
the message completes. Once it completes, the client can take remedial actions
|
|
|
|
|
to remove the duplicate event by looking for duplicate event IDs. A future version
|
|
|
|
|
of the client-server API will resolve this by attaching the transaction ID of the
|
|
|
|
|
sending request to the event itself.

identify it as a remote echo. This results in the client displaying the message
|
|
|
|
|
twice for some time (depending on the server responsiveness) before the original
|
|
|
|
|
request to send the message completes. Once it completes, the client can take
|
|
|
|
|
remedial actions to remove the duplicate event by looking for duplicate event IDs.
