Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-651: ------------------------------------ Background reading relating to "problems" in GAE/J's handling of JDO http://datanucleus.blogspot.com/2010/01/gaej-and-jdojpa.html > Modify specification to address NoSQL datastores > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: JDO-651 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-651 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: api2, specification, tck2 > Reporter: Matthew T. Adams > Assignee: Matthew T. Adams > > There is increasing interest in NoSQL datastores (Google BigTable, Apache > HBase, VMWare Redis, etc), which not only do not support SQL, but also do not > necessarily provide support for traditional consistency or queriability > features or guarantees, instead offering features like eventual consistency, > key-value storage mechanisms, etc. > This request is to modify the JDO specification (and TCK & RI) so that it > relaxes certain portions of the specification, perhaps in the form of > profiles similar to JavaEE 6 profiles, to allow datastores that may not > support queries in general, do not support the ACID requirements, or that > support key-value-based storage mechanisms to be JDO-compliant. Additions to > the specification may also be needed in order to directly address NoSQL-type > datastores, in a manner similar to its treatment of relational persistence > mechanisms. > Additionally, this request would serve to better support persistence on micro > platforms where consistency, queriability, etc, may not be supported. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
