[ANNOUNCEMENT] Keith Turner for Apache Gora PMC member and Project Committer

[Lewis John Mcgibbney <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi Keith,

This is great news. I'll progress with getting the relevant clearance done,
as you already have CLA sorted out it should be arranged reasonably soon.
As we're already on the dev list (my fault) this can double as an official
announcement

In the meantime, feel free to maybe say a bit about yourself, what brought
you to Gora etc.

Great to have you on board, I'll get back to you in due course when I've
got the above work done.

All the best

Lewis

You may not be able to do this for a day or so before I get the ACK from
Board@.

Thanks for mentioning this Enis.

Hi Keith, welcome on board. Glad to see you as a committer.

As a traditional first commit, could you please add yourself to the
credits.xml under http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/gora/site/. After you
check out the project, you can build it with running ant
-Dforrest.home=/path/to/forrest. Then please commit the changes under
author/ and publish/. The site at gora.apache.org should be automatically
updated shortly.

Thanks,
Enis

Now that Accumulo is publicly available, there are lots things it
would be nice to integrate Accumulo with like Gora, Data Nucleus,
Spring Data, HCatalog, Pig, Hive, etc.  I wanted experiment with
writing an adapter for one of these.  I looked at Gora and liked its
straight forward mapping to a column store like HBase, Accumulo, and
Cassandra.   Also I am interested in tools that makes developers lives
easier and allow them more flexibility (like the ability to more
easily move their code between different data stores).  Gora is one
tool that does this.

After I wrote the Accumulo backend, I took one of the Accumulo test
suites and wrote it using Gora.  I did this for a few reasons.  I
wanted to gain perspective as a Gora user and I wanted to test the
Gora Accumulo data store at scale.  Since I started off developing for
Gora instead of using it, I was happy when I found that using Gora was
a pleasant experience.  The test suite written against Gora was less
code than the one written against Accumulo and easier to understand.
One thing that made it shorter was no parsing/serialization code in
the Gora version.  Also the test suite can now easily be used against
other data stores which is really cool.
