Jason Gerlowski commented on SOLR-15089:
----------------------------------------
Hey [~pierre.salagnac],
Yeah, I lean Anshum's direction here. If the code is has end-to-end
functionality then it sounds to me like it's far enough along to be worth
sharing. No one expects 100% perfection and the sooner it's posted the sooner
we can get you guys feedback or even start helping with some of the remaining
TODOs you mentioned.
To your specific point about having an abstraction specifically for the
blob-store BackupRepository implementations, I can see how that might make
sense but would have to think it over some more. Seeing how much similarity
there is between your S3BackupRepository and (e.g.) the recently added
GCSBackupRepository will help make that case too probably.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing what you guys've got when you're ready to
share. Thanks for helping getting it out there!

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Jason Gerlowski
> Assignee: Jason Gerlowski
> Priority: Major
>
> Solr's BackupRepository interface provides an abstraction around the physical
> location/format that backups are stored in. This allows plugin writers to
> create "repositories" for a variety of storage mediums. It'd be nice if Solr
> offered more mediums out of the box though, such as some of the "blobstore"
> offerings provided by various cloud providers.
> This ticket proposes that a "BackupRepository" implementation for Amazon's
> popular 'S3' blobstore, so that Solr users can use it for backups without
> needing to write their own code.
> Amazon offers a s3 Java client with acceptable licensing, and the required
> code is relatively simple. The biggest challenge in supporting this will
> likely be procedural - integration testing requires S3 access and S3 access
> costs money. We can check with INFRA to see if there is any way to get cloud
> credits for an integration test to run in nightly Jenkins runs on the ASF
> Jenkins server. Alternatively we can try to stub out the blobstore in some
> reliable way.
