protorpc is an RPC implementation that uses 0-MQ as its transport layer and Google Protobufs as its transport encoding.

UA RPC has (or plans to have) clients implemented in the following languages:

• Go: Integrated with the Go standard library net/rpc
• Java (todo)
• Python (todo)
• Node.js (todo)

Features:

• Asynchronous call ability
• Can have one or more brokers in the RPC call

protorpc is based off of protorpc written by Eric Clark as of commit 90f1b64. That material is governed by the first license in the LICENSE file. Further modifications are governed by the second license in the LICENSE file.

go get github.com/yanatan16/protorpc

go install github.com/yanatan16/protorpc/protoc-gen-go-rpc

Make sure $GOPATH/bin is on your $PATH. export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Now install libzmq 3.x from zeromq.

wget http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-3.2.1-rc2.tar.gz
tar xzvf zeromq-3.2.1-rc2.tar.gz
cd zeromq-3.2.1-rc2
./configure
make
sudo make install

Now install gozmq for zmq 3.x

go get -tags zmq_3_x github.com/alecthomas/gozmq

Note: You will want to test the installation by going to the installation directory $GOPATH/src/github.com/alecthomas/gozmq and go test. You may have to install a patch git pull git@github.com:srid/gozmq patch-1. If so, then reinstall go install -tags zmq_3_x. You may need to make sure libzmq.so.3 is on your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

To compile .proto files, use the protoc command:

protoc --go-rpc_out=. files.proto

Then just compile your coe as usual. go build

The best way to get started is to review the files in the example directory.
