Robert Munteanu updated SLING-2799:
-----------------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Bug)
> Elastic Search backend for Sling: GSoC2013
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-2799
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2799
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Samples
> Reporter: Ian Boston
> Labels: elasticsearch, gsoc, gsoc2013, java, osgi, sling
>
> This is a proposal for GSoC2013: create an Resource Provider that allows
> resources stored in Elastic Search 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.
> Elastic Search[3] is a elastically scalable search engine based on Lucene
> that has NoSQL like storage capabilities. Although written in Java, and used
> by many Java applications, it is used by a multitude of scripting communities
> (Python, Ruby, Php) as it exposes a RESTfull Json interface. Its NoSQL like
> capabilities are supported by the ability to index in real time over multiple
> shards and replicas. Notable users of Elastic Search include Wordpress,
> GitHub, FourSquare, Sony and many others.
> Initially this will provide read only resource access, but if there is time
> in the project will allow read write access to a Elastic Search cluster.
> Advanced Java skills are required, some knowledge of OSGi, Sling, Elastic
> Search will be valuable as will a detailed knowledge of HTTP and RESTfull
> architectures.
