Kenneth Giusti adf4cd9d05 Document the transport backend driver interface
Add detailed documentation to the driver API to help driver developers
create drivers that behave consistently.  Specifically prescribes a
set of operational characteristics that a driver must conform to in
order to provide consistent behavior across different implementations.

"""Send a message to the given target and optionally wait for a reply.
This method is used by the RPC client when sending RPC requests to a
server.
The driver must use the *topic*, *exchange*, and *server* (if present)
attributes of the *target* to construct the backend-native message
address. The message address must match the format used by
subscription(s) created by the :py:meth:`BaseDriver.listen` method.
If the *target's* *fanout* attribute is set, a copy of the message must
be sent to all subscriptions using the *exchange* and *topic*
values. If *fanout* is not set, then only one subscriber should receive
the message. In the case of multiple subscribers to the same address,
only one copy of the message is delivered. In this case the driver
should implement a delivery pattern that distributes messages in a
balanced fashion across the multiple subscribers.
This method must block the caller until one of the following events
occur:
* the send operation completes successfully
* *timeout* seconds elapse (if specified)
* *retry* count is reached (if specified)
The *wait_for_reply* parameter determines whether or not the caller
expects a response to the RPC request. If True, this method must block
until a response message is received. This method then returns the
response message to the caller. The driver must implement a mechanism
for routing incoming responses back to their corresponding send
request. How this is done may vary based on the type of messaging
backend, but typically it involves having the driver create an internal
subscription for reply messages and setting the request message's
*reply-to* header to the subscription address. The driver may also
need to supply a correlation identifier for mapping the response back
to the sender. See :py:meth:`RpcIncomingMessage.reply`
If *wait_for_reply* is False this method will block until the message
has been handed off to the backend - there is no need to confirm that
the message has been delivered. Once the handoff completes this method
returns.
The driver may attempt to retry sending the message should a
recoverable error occur that prevents the message from being passed to
the backend. The *retry* parameter specifies how many attempts to
re-send the message the driver may make before raising a
:py:exc:`MessageDeliveryFailure` exception. A value of None or -1 means
unlimited retries. 0 means no retry is attempted. N means attempt at
most N retries before failing. **Note well:** the driver MUST guarantee
that the message is not duplicated by the retry process.

def send_notification(self, target, ctxt, message, version, retry):

by the Notifier to send notification messages to a Listener.
Notifications use a *store and forward* delivery pattern. The driver
must allow for delivery in the case where the intended recipient is
not present at the time the notification is published. Typically this
requires a messaging backend that has the ability to store messages
until a consumer is present.
Therefore this method must block at least until the backend accepts
ownership of the message. This method does not guarantee that the
message has or will be processed by the intended recipient.
The driver must use the *topic* and *exchange* attributes of the
*target* to construct the backend-native message address. The message
address must match the format used by subscription(s) created by the
:py:meth:`BaseDriver.listen_for_notifications` method. Only one copy of
the message is delivered in the case of multiple subscribers to the
same address. In this case the driver should implement a delivery
pattern that distributes messages in a balanced fashion across the

There is an exception to the single delivery semantics described above:
the *pool* parameter to the
:py:meth:`BaseDriver.listen_for_notifications` method may be used to
set up shared subscriptions. See
:py:meth:`BaseDriver.listen_for_notifications` for details.
This method must also honor the *retry* parameter. See
:py:meth:`BaseDriver.send` for details regarding implementing the

*target*. These subscriptions must then be associated with a
:py:class:`Listener` or :py:class:`PollStyleListener` which is returned
by this method. See :py:meth:`BaseDriver.send` for more detail
regarding message addressing.
The driver must support receiving messages sent to the following
addresses derived from the values in *target*:
* all messages sent to the exchange and topic given in the target.
This includes messages sent using a fanout pattern.
* if the server attribute of the target is set then the driver must
also subscribe to messages sent to the exchange, topic, and server
For example, given a target with exchange 'my-exchange', topic
'my-topic', and server 'my-server', the driver would create
subscriptions for:
* all messages sent to my-exchange and my-topic (including fanout)
* all messages sent to my-exchange, my-topic, and my-server
