Niclas Hedhman commented on FELIX-481:
--------------------------------------
The scalability issue mentioned here is actually fairly severe, and should
probably be addressed in the RFC (although it seems the RFC has "cooled off").
If OSGi becomes as widespread as we hope, we need more formal protocols for
searching and browsing bundles available.
I think the use of XML file is outright insane, although simple to get going
for simple cases. What do we do when the repositories accumulate to GBs/TBs of
data? IMHO, RDF plus for instance SparQL, are much better suited for these
types of requirements.
> Change OBR default repository url

> Key: FELIX-481
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-481
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Alin Dreghiciu
> Assignee: Stuart McCulloch
> Priority: Minor
>
> By default (if no repository is configured) BundleRepository uses
> http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/obr2/repository.xml as a default
> repository. As Richard mentioned on the mailing list this repository is more
> a "didactic" repository. Having this repo is somehow then useless and adds
> confusion to the unexperimented (e.g. one has a wrong spelled config
> "obr.repository.url". In that case the default is used => expected bundles
> will not be found)
> I suggest the following alternatives:
> 1. No default => fail to initialize with an misconfiguration exception
> 2. use the osgi alliance repository
> 3. use a (to be created) felix obr repository
