norway's busiest website now running tiles-3

[mck <mc...@apache.org>]

finn.no last thursday came out with an upgrade to tiles-3.

I had applied the code when testing tiles-3 in the sandbox before the
merge to trunk. Since then it's undergone testing and profiling so we've
built enough confidence to bring now a recent tiles-3 build out into
production.

For us the primary motivation was the OptionsRenderer and the
PublisherRenderer. The former making out tiles xml files _alot_ easier
to read and work with.

Performance looks great too. I was a little worried about TILES-522 (we
had patched tiles-2 to address it but now we're using a vanilla tiles-3
build). We are pushing up to 200 requests/second/jvm through the tiles-3
framework. It's hard to say for sure but it looks like tiles-3 has given
us a ~5% speed improvement. Any possible theories to this?

This puts us in a position where we'd like to push towards a beta
release of tiles-3. Nicolas: have you more things than the
tiles-request-api changes for the "3.0 horizon"?

Just the two I've pointed out earlier in this thread. As I said, the 
rest are either additions or bugfixes.

api breaking changes, particularly to tiles-request, tiles-autotag,
should be stabilised before i release i believe. So if you have more in
this area please do bring them to attention.

The most impacting changes I have:
* the splitting of Request into 2 interfaces (which is ready for commit, 
except for a minor name issue from mck).
* the merging of Renderer and TypeDetectingRenderer, if agreed.

But I agree with Greg that those shouldn't stop the release of 1.0-beta.

I have indeed more things waiting, but mostly additions and all of them 
can wait.

Congratulations, that's a nice site - even though I couldn't read any of it :-)

There's nothing to say we can't go ahead and cut a release now, then
add to it later.
