Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (MQTT-236) Consolidate Acks, enable negative acknowledgements.


    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/MQTT-236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=62323#comment-62323 ] 

Ken Borgendale commented on MQTT-236:
-------------------------------------

Comments on the above proposals:

I do not see the point of returning a protocol error (malformed packet) as a PUBLISH or SUBSCRIBE error.  This should really cause a DISCONNECT.  The same is true if the receiver finds a system fault.  Valid MQTT which this provider does not support (the Unicode SHOULD clause, character set restrictions, or topic space restrictions) are valid things to return reason codes.

I actually do like the 0x01 and 0x02 return codes shown for PUBLISH.  Worded correctly the receiver of the publish could always return a 0x00 return code.  In any case the full QoS flow should happen in these cases.

In the case of other codes, we need to separate these so that the receiver (which could be either the client or the server) can tell what action to take.  My list of errors for PUBLISH would look like:
- Not authorized  (probably needs an admin fix)
- Topic name not valid
- Packet ID in use (this might indicate a session state issue)
- QoS not supported
- Retain not supported
- Message too big (probably needs an admin fix)
- Message rate too high (wait and retry might work)
- Sender quota exceeded (might be temporary)
- Receiver capacity reached (wait and retry might work)

For SUBSCRIBE
- Not authorized
- Topic filter not valid 
- Packet ID in use
- Shared subs not supported
- Overlapping subscription not allowed (if this is one of the solutions for shared subs)
- Client quota exceeded 
- Server capacity reached 

For UNSUBSCRIBE
- Not authorized (I hope this is not common)
- Topic filter not valid
- Packet ID in use

It always seems a problem to report quota or capacity problems when doing an UNSUBSCIBE (or in general when trying to remove resource), and indeed returning not authorized is somewhat problematic.  These are some of the actions we tell people to take when they have reached a quota or capacity problem.
