I didn't much research on Map/Reduce proposal, first I wanted to make
sure if it's still as TODO.
About Erlang usage scenarios - this is also what I want to specify, so
my question in proposal is still open.
About Styx. The usage scenario could be ie. (as on JStyx web page):
- Java (SCA) interface to Inferno/Plan9 systems (e.g. web interface to
Inferno Grid)
Binding configuration could be something like this:
<reference ...>
<binding.styx host="machine1" port="1234" resource="/debug"/>
</reference>
We can also image situation when some Plan9/Inferno system would like to
integrate with some other system. By using Styx service binding Tuscany
could provide endpoint which would be mountable under Plan9/Inferno
environment.
I hope this is what you asked.
Thanks,
Wojtek

Hi Wojtek,
What would be the usage scenarios for each? How do you envision these
new functionalities to be used? In what type of environment? They all
sound interesting.

Hi,
as some of you know I'm (still) in front of choosing subject of my
master thesis. I decided to connect it with Tuscany and I've picked
three topics which I'm interested in:
1. Support for Styx protocol, which is used in operating systems like
Plan9 or Inferno.
This extension could be realized as binding extension which could
provide access to Styx resources (reference bindings). Tuscany
components could be also served as Styx resources (service
bindings). I thought I could use JStyx which is Java Styx
implementation [1]. Little challenge here could be inventing method
of mapping Java interface to structure of Styx resource (tree).
2. Support for Erlang language (inspired by GSoC 2008 proposal).
This one sounds interesting, but after reading [2] and [3] I'm still
not sure how this could work as implementation type in Tuscany. Can
we assume that input implementation file contains list of erl shell
commands which would be translated to JInterface calls?
3. Support for Map/Reduce - integration with Apache Hadoop (GSoC
2008 proposal).
It looks like this GSoC project wasn't finished successfully. Is it
true? If so then this project is also worth of more research.
I'll appreciate any comments. What do you think about usefulness of
each proposition?
Thanks,
Wojtek
