[jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-61) Support bundling of LCF with an app
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-61?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=12887806#action_12887806 ] Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-61: --- I'm tempted to close this issue because (a) there is absolutely no reason anyone competent cannot bundle lcf with an app today, and (b) it is completely unclear what, if anything, the 'fix' would look like. A specific statement of an actual concrete problem is the only thing that will prevent me from closing this. --- original message --- From: ext Jack Krupansky (JIRA) j...@apache.org Subject: [jira] Created: (CONNECTORS-61) Support bundling of LCF with an app Date: July 12, 2010 Time: 2:48:11 PM Support bundling of LCF with an app --- Key: CONNECTORS-61 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-61 Project: Lucene Connector Framework Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Framework core Reporter: Jack Krupansky It should be possible for an application developer to bundle LCF with an application to facilitate installation and deployment of the application in conjunction with LCF.

There are two options: 1) include the LCF UI along with the other LCF processes, and 2) exclude the LCF UI and include only the other processes that can be controlled via the full API. The database server would be included. The web app server would be optional since the application may have its own choice of web app server.

[jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-60) Agent process should be started automatically

RE: [jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-60) Agent process should be started automatically
Let me get this straight. There is a way you can deploy LCF that does everything you are currently asking for. But you are not willing to use it. Why?

Re: JSON license
I'm no expert on licenses, so I would look at what Solr does and maybe ping Grant. Presumably LCF should have a legal subdirectory somewhere for license notices. -- Jack Krupansky -- From: karl.wri...@nokia.com Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 5:02 PM To: jack.krupan...@lucidimagination.com Cc: connectors-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: JSON license Can you clarify what is meant by add this license to /legal?

So all you want to see is a postgresql version of QuickStart? That's actually trivial - it's a one-line modification to the properties.xml file. My suggestion is to simply address this with documentation.
Re: [jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-60) Agent process should be started automatically
That would help. Keep in mind the Jira issue for bundling the database server as well. I was assuming that there was still some technical advantage to running LCF in the non-QuickStart multi-process configuration. -- Jack Krupansky -- From: karl.wri...@nokia.com Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 5:09 PM To: connectors-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: [jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-60) Agent process should be started automatically So all you want to see is a postgresql version of QuickStart?

RE: [jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-60) Agent process should be started automatically
That would help. Keep in mind the Jira issue for bundling the database server as well. I have neither the time nor the inclination to tackle the postgresql bundling proposal. You are on your own there. If you believe that LCF 1.0 cannot be released without such a canned installation procedure, then it is very likely your schedule will be disrupted. There is an existing ticket for writing installers - if you want to proceed on that I suggest that you attach your installer(s) as patches to that ticket, and take care of the postgresql bundling you desire at the same time. Good luck! I was assuming that there was still some technical advantage to running LCF in the non-QuickStart multi-process configuration. Multiprocess execution models are preferred by most Unix folks, because everything in Unix is done at a process level - security management, primarily, would be the important thing. In the future, when LCF has been Zookeeper'd, it will be very important to allow a multi-process model. But for the kinds of people you seem to be worrying about, a single process will do very nicely.
