Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-624:
------------------------------------
I'm not sure exposing the transaction control lock as the dataset lock is a
good design.
# The lock maybe (incorrectly) used during a transaction, messing up the
internal state.
# The lock may (dubiously) be protecting other code but is not MRSW safe.
c.f arguments that {{synchronized}} on methods is bad as it exposes the
internal control to external code.
> Develop a new in-memory RDF Dataset implementation

> Key: JENA-624
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-624
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Andy Seaborne
> Assignee: A. Soroka
> Labels: java, linked_data, rdf
>
> The current (Jan 2014) Jena in-memory dataset uses a general purpose
> container that works for any storage technology for graphs together with
> in-memory graphs.
> This project would develop a new implementation design specifically for RDF
> datasets (triples and quads) and efficient SPARQL execution, for example,
> using multi-core parallel operations and/or multi-version concurrent
> datastructures to maximise true parallel operation.
> This is a system project suitable for someone interested in datatbase
> implementation, datastructure design and implementation, operating systems or
> distributed systems.
> Note that TDB can operate in-memory using a simulated disk with
> copy-in/copy-out semantics for disk-level operations. It is for faithful
> testing TDB infrastructure and is not designed performance, general in-memory
> use or use at scale. While lesson may be learnt from that system, TDB
> in-memory is not the answer here.
