---------------------------------
Summary: Apache Cassandra backing for Sling: GSoC2013 Project
Key: SLING-2798
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2798
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Samples
Reporter: Ian Boston
This is a proposal for GSoC2013: create an Resource Provider that allows
resources stored in Apache Cassandra to be exposed as Sling Resources.
Resources[1] are the basic building blocks of Sling.
ResourceProviders[2] allow data sources to be added to the core
ResourceProvider within Sling allowing those data sources to provide Resources
at pre-determined locations in the resource tree. To put it in more familiar
terms, implementing and adding a Resource provider is like mounting or mapping
a network drive.
A more recent addition to the facilities available in Sling include updatable
ResourceProviders.
Apache Cassandra[3] is a column database (NoSQL) which aims to provide linear
scalability to web scale. It is used by many of the best known names on the
internet.
Initially this will provide read only resource access, but if there is time in
the project will allow read write access to a cassandra cluster.
Advanced Java skills are required, some knowledge of OSGi, Sling, Cassandra
will be valuable.
