Hi Rick,
I think that making the storage engine re-usable in its own right
would be a great thing.

I would like to get the community's feeling about whether we could
or should build a simpler api to the Derby store. I think that this
could be useful for applications which just need to put and get
data by key value. These would be applications which don't need
complex queries or SQL. However, these applications might need
transactions, multi-user concurrency, and recoverability. Without
the overhead of the SQL interpreter, it seems that such a kernel
could potentially:
1) Consume fewer run-time resources, occupy a smaller jarball
footprint, and so be a better fit for resource-constrained devices.
2) Be faster.
3) Be simpler to use.
Would the community support such an effort or would this fall
outside Derby's charter?
Thanks,
