Wishlist: multiple executors

[aviks]

My number one wishlist for this is the ability to have a single ZMQ listener, dispatching the method call accross multiple julia processes. So maybe round robin, but dropping processes that hang.

@tanmaykm says that this is already possible with the power of ZMQ. Would you please document this, possibly with an example?

[tanmaykm]

@aviks sure. The JuliaBox API implementation uses this under the hood. Isolating it out would make a good example.

@tanmaykm @aviks would it be possible to add this example to the README? This would be really helpful

[tanmaykm]

Here's one implementation over message queues: https://github.com/tanmaykm/JuliaWebAPIPlugins.jl
It needs to be ported for Julia 1.0 though.

Yes, it will be good to document a simple example in the README. Hoping to get some time after a couple of weeks.

@tanmaykm thanks!

I vaguely remember that this was easy. Take a look at the zmq Python guide, it's concise and very useful.
