Integrate Apache Sling to Apache Airavata Registry
---------------------------------------------------
Key: AIRAVATA-338
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-338
Project: Airavata
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Registry API
Affects Versions: 0.4-INCUBATING
Reporter: Suresh Marru
Assignee: Lahiru Gunathilake
Priority: Minor
Implement the Sling support for Apache Airavata, currently Airavata has an API
to store/retrieve data from Jackrabbit, but its not scalable when to handle
large amount of data because of keeping the session in the client side. Sling
supports accessing Jackrabbit in REST full way. So we need to come up with
another API which looks like the current API but uses jackrabbit through Sling
Interface. The integration will require testing to ensure Airavata tutorials
will work as is out of the box. The current data structures have limitations,
so its strongly advisable to come up with hierarchical tree structure to store
different data categories. Airavata community is very knowledgable on the
requirements and will provide good inputs.
User community & Impact of the software: Airavata is primarily targeted to
build science gateways using computational resources from various disciplines.
The initial targeted set of gateways include projects supporting research and
education in chemistry, life sciences, biophysics, environmental sciences,
geosciences astronomy and nuclear physics. The goal of airavata is to enhance
productivity of these gateways to utilize cyberinfrastructure of resources
(e.g., local lab resources, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery
Environment (XSEDE), the Open Science Grid (Cloud), University Clusters,
Academic and Commercial Computational Clouds like FutureGrid & Amazon EC2). By
using open community based software components and services like Airavata,
gateways will be able to focus on providing additional scientific capabilities
and to expanding the number of supported users. The capabilities of these
gateways will offer clear benefits to society.
