[jira] Updated: (IMAP-181) Implement database schema and data incremental migration for 3.0 release

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-181?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eric Charles updated IMAP-181:
------------------------------

    Attachment: jpa-migrator.zip

Very first draft uncomplete of jpa migrator project.
Comment welcome on the proposed approach:
- separate project
- main with list of jiras

Solutions such as http://www.liquibase.org/ may be a more solid approach, but we may need more flexibility, especially on the data level.
I suppore jpa will in the future better handle the migration and schema changes.

- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-180 : Need manuall recreate the fk one by one (intermediary tables dissapear)
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-176 : Need to change #mail with #private in mailbox.namespace column
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-172 : Need to remove messagecount and size columns from mailbox
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-168 : Does seem to impact database but not sure. Need confirmation ? 
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-165 : JPA doesn't incrementally create the @Index. So we need to create manually

> We need a way to upgrade the database (for JPA store) whenever it is needed.
> In general, a database upgrade is needed further a JIRA that impacts the database.
> This can be:
> 1. On a db schema level (table, columns, fk, index,...)
> 2. On data level (update some data, feed a column with relation keys,...).
> Plain SQL would be enough for the first point (not for the second one). PLSQL (or similar) would be needed for the second point.
> To ease things, a java "software" process will developed based on the existing JPA layer.
> The tool should be invoked with JIRA numbers as parameters.
> Each provided JIRA number would invoke a DB Change Command.
> As POC (Proof of Concept), we will first develop a tool that takes into account.
