All I have is

I have been contacted by François Orsini directly, and transfered the
mail to Kiran and the dev list.
I assume they want us to be guinea pigs, but with brain :) I like the
idea. It has many advantages :
- we get a direct line with the developpers
- we may get what we need in the API
- we have one more possible backend
- both project get a benefit out of it
Bottom line is that we are not stuck with JDBM, but get a maintained
BTree code.
I didn't had time to go any farther right now, and I think Kiran is
the guy when it comes to backend those days. I was just the french guy
who shared beers with another french fellow in Amsterdam, and
discussed about how our both projects can collaborate :) Wanna me to
dig the thing inside out ?

Hi Kiran,
We're currently working on this and I hope we can provide you guys son
enough with an implemented API for some early test drive.
I have not posted in the directory dev mailing list as the API is not
available yet.
There is a thread in the Apache Derby dev forum as as far as the
motivation for this and see how we can deliver it:

I'd be interested in knowing more about that new API you have on top of
JDBM. Do you have any description and Javadoc for it? That would be
great for us to see how it'd would work against the Derby B-Tree store one.
Also may I ask what were/are the issues you are encountering with JDBM?
I would assume that concurrency is likely one of them and also not being
able to get new updates, etc.
Thanks

hi Francois,
I have searched directory dev mail archive but haven't found any
discussion threads in which you participated
( infact there were some mails about BTree impl used in JDBM )
Could you let me know about the derby revision in which this new
API is present ( will be glad if you can
provide some filenames related to BTree impl instead :) )
Thanks for your time

Hi Kiran,
last spring we had an interesting convo with François Orsini about
Derby BTree implementation. As we have a new API on top of JDBM, and
as they have started to redisign their API to get it easier to use,
it would be interesting to look at what they are doing and see how we
can leverage this API. They are also interested to know what we think
about the new API, so any feedback would be good.
The best would for you two guys to get in touch, and see how you can
collaborate.
wdyt ?
