Konstantin Kolosovsky commented on SLING-2795:
----------------------------------------------
Hi Bertrand,
I am student from Saint Petersburg (Russia). As part of my interests, besides
further improving programming skills, I want to expand my knowledge in NoSQL
databases and Search/Search Engines - that's why I'm also interested in
understanding and practical use of popular search platforms. Basically three
projects with backend for Sling (Solr, Cassandra, ElasticSearch) seem very
interesting to me. But I chose to start with proposal for Solr.
As for my relevant development experience - briefly, I have good knowledge of
Java language, worked with tools/frameworks like maven, Spring (core and MVC),
log4j, junit. Have understanding of REST and RESTful architectures. Also have
some experience with Selenium, Cucumber.
So I think I'll be able and really looking forward to perform this project
during GSoC 2013!
Some further questions:
- Could you please advice me some next steps to continue with investigating
and proposal?
- Also am I right that I could send you (as a mentor) a proposal draft for
short review before officialy submitting it to GSoC site?
Thanks,
Konstantin
> Apache Solr backend for Apache Sling
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-2795
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2795
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Samples
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Labels: gsoc, gsoc2013, java, osgi, sling, solr
>
> This is a proposal for GSoC 2013: create a Java/OSGi backend that allows
> Sling to use an Apache Solr server for content storage.
> Interested students are welcome to get in touch with the Sling community via
> its mailing lists to discuss the project, see
> http://sling.apache.org/project-information.html#mailing-lists
> Recent additions to the Sling resource management support using any existing
> content store as a backend for content storage, and creating an example
> ResourceProvider [1] that uses Apache Solr as its backend would be a good
> example of that.
> This support for arbitrary content stores is relatively new in Sling, so we
> might discover some missing features or incomplete implementations along the
> way. The student will need to interact closely with the Sling community to
> discuss any improvements needed to reach this project's goals.
> As Solr is probably not well suited for storing large binaries, a hybrid
> store will probably be needed, where "small" data items are stored directly
> in Solr and large, binary values stored on a filesystem-based structure like
> the Jackrabbit DataStore.
> Advanced Java skills are required, as is good knowledge of HTTP protocols and
> clients and knowledge of automated testing tools to be able to validate the
> results.
