Possible collaboration between Gora and MetaModel to deliver datastore concept?

[Kasper Sørensen <i....@gmail.com>]

Hi Gora community,

I am writing to get a feeling of whether you guys would find it interesting
to collaborate closer with the Apache MetaModel (incubating) [1] community.
I hope that you find it a good idea, but any feedback, good or bad, would
be appreciated.

What I am thinking is that it looks like Gora has a set of datastore
implementations which overlap somewhat with the datastore concept and
implementations that we have for Apache MetaModel. I believe that the
querying API of MetaModel is probably more flexible and unified, as well as
having more modules than Gora's datastore module set. I imagine we could
benefit from a collaboration and closer relationship in this way: The Gora
project could probably be relieved of the plain connectivity aspects and
"unification of differences" aspects, in order to focus more on your
persistence model, processing model and so on. From MetaModel's perspective
it would be great to have other Apache projects involved/depending on our
project, since we want to raise our adoption more within other Apache
projects. It would make for a great example of using MetaModel in a higher
level framework.

Curious to hear what you think!

Best regards,

Thanks for reaching out Kasper. Love to see the Query APIs integration
to support for the Gora simple Query class.

Hopefully we could make some integration happen that beneficial to
both projects.
