Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-2798:
--------------------------------------------
Note that IMO students would improve their chances of being accepted if they
choose distinct projects instead of competing for the same one.
We might get two GSoC slots for Sling but even if that happens we're not going
to have two students working on the same project.
> Apache Cassandra backend for Sling: GSoC2013 Project
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-2798
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2798
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Samples
> Reporter: Ian Boston
> Labels: cassandra, gsoc, gsoc2013, java, osgi, sling
>
> This is a proposal for GSoC2013: create an Resource Provider that allows
> resources stored in Apache Cassandra to be exposed as Sling Resources.
> Resources[1] are the basic building blocks of Sling.
> ResourceProviders[2] allow data sources to be added to the core
> ResourceProvider within Sling allowing those data sources to provide
> Resources at pre-determined locations in the resource tree. To put it in more
> familiar terms, implementing and adding a Resource provider is like mounting
> or mapping a network drive.
> A more recent addition to the facilities available in Sling include updatable
> ResourceProviders.
> Apache Cassandra[3] is a column database (NoSQL) which aims to provide linear
> scalability to web scale. It is used by many of the best known names on the
> internet.
> Initially this will provide read only resource access, but if there is time
> in the project will allow read write access to a cassandra cluster.
> Advanced Java skills are required, some knowledge of OSGi, Sling, Cassandra
> will be valuable.
