Vertx - streaming between verticles

I'm involved into distributed application using vert.x and verticles.

We have to trasfer streams over vericles on demand.

I've found two reasonable solutions. For clarify:

• REQ - requesting data verticle;
• RPL - verticle that replies;

SOLUTION 1

• REQ
  • sends request via event bus for specified stream resource;

• RPL

  • accepts request,
  • optionaly perform desired operation for preparing stream
  • opens new tcp socket for streaming
  • replies to REQ with connection information (adress, port, and other stuff like one time random generated passcode).
  • awaits for specified time for connection:
    • if no one connects, closes socket
    • if client connects (here we can verify pass code) provide requested stream and closes socket on EOF.

• REQ

  • once reply is recieved connects to RPL newly opended socket and grabs stream

Is that proper vert.x approach?

SOLUTION 2

The other solution is to share stream resorce (database or network share or any other service) and reply with information how to grab desired stream:

• REQ
  • sends request via event bus for specified stream resource;
• RPL
  • accepts request,
  • optionaly perform desired operation for preparing stream
  • if necessary uploads steram to thrid party entity (database, network share, other service)
  • replies to REQ with information how to grab stream (URI or db query)
• REQ
  • once reply is recieved grabs stream

I've found that each solution has some pitfalls, but the question is: what soution would you choose and why?
