However, I will add: 'competition is good, dispersion is no good'
It's true that similar projects already exist within Apache.
An example is the recent concerns of Hama on the Giraph project for the
Pregel functionality. But Hama was still incubating and not having
completed the Pregel.
Another example is Whirr and DeltaCloud, but they are implemented in
different technologies.
Here, we already have a Java implementation of BigTable and I wonder
what we'll gain with another one? Sounds to me like incubating a Tomcat
equivalent, but with e.g. automatic authorization on HTTP request (I
invent): not much sense...
If finally incubated, my *wishful thinking* is that both projects can
come to share 'common components'. This is to me an argument for the
incubation that could lead to a common-bigtable sub-project :)
But honestly, my thinking is that we are still more loosing focus in
already very puzzled NoSQL world. Good for the consultants, bad for the
users.
I wonder if all this thread should be moved to the incubator mailing
list. After all, this is where the decision will occur.
Thx.
