Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-2798:
--------------------------------------------
Dishara's code is at https://code.google.com/p/cassandra-backend-for-sling/ -
it is currently lacking instructions on how to setup Cassandra for testing,
ideally a Vagrant config should be provided to have a reproducible Cassandra
test setup.
> 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
> Attachments: Sling Cassandra backend Architecture.jpg

> 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.
