Ian Boston commented on SLING-2798: ----------------------------------- Agreed. Each of the projects posted here are 1 person projects and we wont be able to award a GSoC place to 2 students doing the same project, so if both Ishan and Dishara really want to do this project we will have to choose the best candidate. > Apache Cassandra backend 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 > Labels: cassandra, gsoc, gsoc2013, java, osgi, sling > > 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. > The following pages give more information about GSoC @apache: > * http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013 > * http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html > * http://s.apache.org/gsoc2013ideas > 1 http://sling.apache.org/site/resources.html > 2 > http://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling6/org/apache/sling/api/resource/ResourceProvider.html > 3 http://cassandra.apache.org/ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
