Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your clarification and your graph.

Would then Akubra become redundant in this scenario?

The main reason I am asking this is that I'm debating whether to start a new project with Fedora 3 or 4 (and storage is one of the main points in my choice). If I start with F3 and Akubra, I am wondering if when I upgrade to F4 at some point in time I would have a harder time transitioning to Infinispan with Akubra in the way.

Thank you, and thanks for keeping the Fedora Futures Wiki up to date!

Hello Stefano,
Thanks for probing into Fedora 4. It may be worth clarifying the fact that Fedora 4 represents an architectural shift from a custom-developed, ten-year-old software application to a new software stack as depicted in the attached document. You are correct in drawing an analogy between the storage layer options of Fedora 3 and the role of Infinispan in Fedora 4.

Fedora 4 adds the preservation and access sensibilities that are important to the Fedora community to the vanilla ModeShape [1] JCR implementation. Optimizing for the ability to cluster and for performance, the recommended storage configuration of ModeShape is to layer over Infinispan [2]. Infinispan, itself, has a number of persistence store options available including simple filesystem and a range of databases.

Based on a variety of Fedora installation profiles and use cases, we will be providing Fedora4/ModeShape/Infinispan configuration "recipes" which will take the guess-work out of how to get to an efficient configuration of your repository.

Regards,
Andrew

    Hi there,
    I have heard a lot of buzz around the new storage layer based on
    Modeshape and Infinispan in Fedora 4.

    Not being very confident with Fedora's inner workings, nor with JCR
    itself, I'm wondering how this is related to the Fedora 3.x legacy
    filesystem and Akubra storage engines. Is Modeshape/Infinispan
    meant to
    be an alternative or replacement for these engines? Or do they work
    alongside with different purposes?

    Some explanation would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
