Hello Folks, Some of you may remember, a good while back we discussed the appropriateness and accuracy of the Gora project description. Right now, the description is as follows
"The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with extensive Apache Hadoop™ MapReduce support." In my opinion, this is a pretty dated description of what Gora does... in the most recent 0.8 announcement I shaped the description as follows "The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to - column stores, - key value stores, - document stores, - distributed in-memory key/value stores, - in-memory data grids, - in-memory caches, - distributed multi-model stores, and - hybrid in-memory architectures Gora also enables analysis of data with extensive Apache Hadoop™ MapReduce and Apache Spark™ support. Gora uses the Apache Software License v2.0." In our release announcements, I also shaped them such that the above bullet points are mapped to the exact versioned technologies supported. I am by no means saying that we need to keep the above, but I did want to make an effort to obtain some consensual evolution of the Gora project description. Does anyone have suggestions?
