Hi Nishadi, Thanks for sharing your GSoC status. I think one safe assumption you can make is that if the user wants to use the query feature of Aerospike then he should create it through Aerospike tools. Gora basically provides access to multiple datastores, but it doesn't offer support for executing arbitrary code in the datastores (like code for creating indexes for example) ... at least for now. Maybe at some point we could just execute something like an arbitraty SQL/CQL/... string through Gora. Aerospike doesn't support range keys either because it hashes the keys so they can be distributed evenly across all nodes, and so, it actually needs a secondary index to do such operation. So I guess you already have the basic PUT/GET/DELETE operations working right? How about the test suites? Maybe you can also ignore the query tests at first but have the implementation so users can take advantage of it, and then maybe add a maven step for running some Aerospike commands (but this can be a later step IMHO). Hope it helps!
