I have a ZMQ_PUB socket sending messages out at ~50Hz. One destination needs to react to each message, so it has a standard ZMQ_SUB socket with a while(true) loop checking for new messages. A second destination should only react once a second to the "most recent" message. That is, my second destination needs to subsample.
For the second destination, I believe I'd want to have a time-based loop that is called at my desired rate (1Hz) and recv() the latest message, dropping the rest. I believe this is done via a ZMQ_HWM on the subscriber. Is there another option that needs to be set somewhere?
Do I need to worry about the different subscribers having different HWMs? Will the publisher become angry? It's a shame ZMQ_RATE only applies to multicast sockets.
Is there a best way to accomplish what I'm attempting?
