New Blobstore Provider Implementation
Hi Everbody,
I started a blob store implementation [1] for Orion [2] based providers.
Could you please tell me how do you accept contributions and what still
needs to be done so that this contribution can also reside with existing
providers?
Regards,
Timur

Hi Timur!
About the procedure, take a look at the url Noorul just sent.
Once you've read that (it is quite short):
New providers start in what we call 'labs', and once they are stable
enough we promote them to the main repo (being in labs does not mean
the providers is unusable, though), so the pull request should be
opened to the jclouds-labs repo [1].

Well spotted Noorul,
There are some links in the development page [1] that should point to
the wiki. The "Contributing to Documentation" already points to the
wiki, but not the "Contributing to the code base" one.
IMO that page should be deleted and the link should point to the page
in the wiki (as it is documentation for the jclouds development
itself).
Wanna raise a PR? :)

Why do we have this information @ two places. If we update at one place
we could miss other.

Hi Ignasi,
By cumbersome and not good, I mean requires lots of configurations for
simple serializations and additional coding to compared to Jackson and
still after those the results can be not as expected :-)
Thanks for the help offer, I will contact you if the problem persists.

Re: New Blobstore Provider Implementation
Posted by Ignasi <ig...@gmail.com>.
Could you detail what "cumbersome" and "not good" mean in your case and
what issues are you experiencing?
Gson is a core dependency in jclouds and currently there is not an easy way
to change that. Many components assume Gson, and I'm not sure adding
Jackson just for a single provider would be a good idea (even if the dep
resides only in the provider). We should try to have one common way to
serialize/deserialize (this gains importance when having to maintain all
providers and deal with the particularities of each one).
Serialization should be as easy as building the java domain objects
matching the json model. Are you having trouble with that?
I can help with this either in this thread or in the IRC if you prefer
(you'll find me as nacx).
HTH!

Hi,
I have a short question. Can I add Jackson dependency for json processing?
Using Gson is more cumbersome and results are not that good with
respect to Jackson.
I'm using it to serialize and de-serialize domain specific objects.

Timur

Thanks for contributing! The basic details can be found on the
"Contributing to jclouds" page [1]; one important thing to note for
new providers is that the pull request should be opened against the

Ps when you get to the point of adapting the orion api to BlobStore, have a
