When discussing the Gora graduation resolution, Chris encouraged me to take this question to the gora-dev list, so I'm quoting this part "out of context" here, and would be interested in learning a bit more about this.
As a bit of background on me, I'm working on an open source project called Amdatu, which is very much using the "Apache way" from the start, but we're still building a community and codebase and hopefully somewhere in 2012 we are mature enough to migrate at least some parts of our codebase to the Incubator. Part of what we're doing can be classified as "big data in the cloud" so anything that works with for example Cassandra is of interest to me. Back to the question: >> The background of the project does state that it has "limited support for >> SQL databases" and that it "ignores complex SQL mappings" so just out of >> interest, when would you use Gora over for example JDO (or JPA or Hibernate) >> when using a SQL database? > > I think this might be a good thread over on gora-dev if you are interested. > We'd be happy > to answer it there. Some insights would be very welcome! :) Greetings, Marcel
