[jira] [Commented] (SLING-2798) Apache Cassandra backend for Sling:
GSoC2013 Project
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2798?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13618573#comment-13618573 ]
Ian Boston commented on SLING-2798:
-----------------------------------
Agreed.
Each of the projects posted here are 1 person projects and we wont be able to award a GSoC place to 2 students doing the same project, so if both Ishan and Dishara really want to do this project we will have to choose the best candidate.
> Apache Cassandra backend for Sling: GSoC2013 Project
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-2798
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2798
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Samples
> Reporter: Ian Boston
> Labels: cassandra, gsoc, gsoc2013, java, osgi, sling
>
> This is a proposal for GSoC2013: create an Resource Provider that allows resources stored in Apache Cassandra to be exposed as Sling Resources.
> Resources[1] are the basic building blocks of Sling.
> ResourceProviders[2] allow data sources to be added to the core ResourceProvider within Sling allowing those data sources to provide Resources at pre-determined locations in the resource tree. To put it in more familiar terms, implementing and adding a Resource provider is like mounting or mapping a network drive.
> A more recent addition to the facilities available in Sling include updatable ResourceProviders.
> Apache Cassandra[3] is a column database (NoSQL) which aims to provide linear scalability to web scale. It is used by many of the best known names on the internet.
> Initially this will provide read only resource access, but if there is time in the project will allow read write access to a cassandra cluster.
> Advanced Java skills are required, some knowledge of OSGi, Sling, Cassandra will be valuable.
