+1 to add cellar as a subproject of karaf. Finally, this is the user and
the client who should decide if they need the clustering feature or not
and so this project should not impact the heart of karaf to keep it
lightweight

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
