Hi Guillaume,
thanks for the update.
I would prefer to have Cellar directly on Karaf trunk. Like this, it
allows to define Cellar feature into the Karaf features descriptors.
But your remark is right and it could make sense to have Cellar as a
Karaf edge project.
@others: WDYT ?
For the projects dependencies (SMX, CXF, etc), it's just an idea, and
I'm not sure it's a good one :). For now, Cellar is **only** a Karaf
cluster implementation. So it makes sense to be in Karaf. If later, it
evolves to something different, we will think about moving into a new
project (as we made for Karaf, from ServiceMix Kernel, to Felix Karaf
and finally Karaf :)).
Thanks again
Regards
JB

+0 as I don't plan to work on that code base in the near future
A few comments though:
* I do think it would be better to import cellar into its own
subproject at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/karaf/cellar/trunk
so that it can have independant releases and won't affect the 3.0 schedule
* if you think of cellar as providing features for servicemix, cxf
or camel, I think Karaf is not the right place for cellar
and I would start in the incubator so that cellar can have the
broader scope it deserve

Hi all,
following our discussion about Karaf clustering and Cellar, I would like to
launch a vote to add Cellar into Karaf trunk.
This addition covers the following topics:
1/ Source code
Currently, Cellar source code is on github. It will be added into Karaf
trunk, on a cellar maven module.
All package will be named to org.apache.karaf.cellar and all resources
(java, properties, etc) will include Apache header.
2/ Provided features
Before inclusion, Ioannis and I would include a new feature which allow you
to choose the node discovery mechanism:
- static list
- unicast
- multicast
- etc
I started to work on it this afternoon, it should be available soon.
3/ Documentation resources
The Karaf user and developers manuals will contain Cellar installation and
user guide. First step is to complete the Karaf cluster wiki page, and
refactore the Ioannis' blog content into user and developers manuals.
Depending of the result of the vote, I will raise the corresponding Jira and
I will work on it.
I have a couple of Karaf Cellar related topics:
- I launched a discussion on Apache ACE mailing list. As ACE supports cloud
environment (using jclouds), I would like to avoid overlap between ACE and
Karaf. The first ACE team feedbacks are good as we consider ACE as a pure
provisioning platform. I will keep you posted about this discussion. On the
same area (relationship with others Apache projects), I think that we have
to discuss with Camel, ServiceMix, CXF, ActiveMQ, and others about we can
improve Karaf Cellar to provide services for these projects.
- I submitted a talk for the next ApacheCon 2011 (Vancouver, 5th-11th
November) about Karaf in an enterprise environment. It will include Karaf
3.0.0 new features presentation and of course Karaf Cellar introduction. I
also plan to make a demo using Karaf, Cellar, and ACE to show how Karaf is a
powerful OSGi runtime/container in an high value enterprise environment.
Regarding these topics, I submit the addition of Cellar into Karaf to your
vote:
[ ] +1 Approve the addition of Cellar into Karaf trunk
[ ] -1 Veto the addition (please provide specific comments)
This vote will be open for 72 hours.
I'm available if you need deeper explanations about Cellar.
Thanks,
Regards
JB
