Eric Charles commented on MAILBOX-44:
-------------------------------------
Ioan, we will use apache-extras (backed by google) for your source code
repository.
You can create one via
http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/hosting/createProject
It provides:
Mercurial and Subversion code hosting
==> Apache is SVN for now, but I think you better know Mercurial.
So choose what you want. Choose Apache 2 Licence.
Download/release hosting
Integrated source code browsing and code review tools
An issue tracker and project wiki
==> Don't use this, use the Apache James JIRA and Apache James Wiki.
For the pom, just inspire you from the mailbox-jpa pom (rename it to
mailbox-hdfs update dependencies,...)
> [gsoc2011] Design and implement a distributed mailbox using Hadoop
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAILBOX-44
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILBOX-44
> Project: James Mailbox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Eric Charles
> Assignee: Norman Maurer
> Labels: gsoc2011
>
> Context: The mailbox subproject (http://james.apache.org/mailbox/) supports
> maildir, SQL database (via JPA) and Java Content Repository (JCR) as
> technology for mail storage. This flexibility is achieved thanks to a API
> design that abstracts mail storage from the mail protocols.
> Task: We need to implement mailbox storage as a distributed system on top of
> Hadoop HDFS. The James mailbox API will be used. A first step is to design
> how to interact with Hadoop (native api, gora incubator at apache,...) and
> deal with specific performance questions related to mail loading/parsing in a
> distributed system (use map/reduce or not, use existing local lucene indexes
> for search,...). The second step is to implement the HDFS mailbox (maildir
> mailbox is similar because is stores mails as a file and can be an
> inspiration). A single James server will still be deployed because we don't
> have any distributed UID generation.
> Mentor: eric at apache dot org
> Complexity: medium
