Data Access API QA Review
-------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-1063
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1063
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: admin
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Jody Garnett
         Assigned To: James Macgill
            Priority: Blocker


The DataAccess api was born out of the following *needs*:
- limitations of String as a representation of TypeName in DataStore API
- poor intergation with metadata (ie need GeoResourceInfo at a minimum)

The first targets for the concept are:
- Replace Grid Coverage Exchange
- POJO Domain model (thanks to JPOX-Spatial unsupported module)

The StreamingRenderer has been updated to make use of the DataAccess api (ie 
Source); we have not reproduced all the hacks that protected StreamingRenderer 
from incorrect FeatureSource metadata (ie wrong coordinate reference system 
etc...) on the grounds that we do not have to accept mistakes from 
implementations (we should submit bugs, decent error messagesn and offer 
wrappers to end users so they can fix problems).

This issue has been marked as a blocker on the 2.4 release:
- as we cannot afford to confuse these interfaces
- we need to ensure FeatureSource can cleanly extends Source with no method 
conflict
- ensure the interface is a good compromise for Feature, Pojo, GridCoverage use
- seperate out readonly from readwrite
