Modify specification to provide for NoSQL datastores
----------------------------------------------------
Key: JDO-651
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-651
Project: JDO
Issue Type: Wish
Components: api2, specification, tck2
Reporter: Matthew T. Adams
There is increasing interest in NoSQL datastores (Google BigTable, Apache
HBase, VMWare Redis, etc), which not only do not support SQL, but also do not
necessarily provide support for traditional consistency or queriability
features or guarantees, instead offering features like eventual consistency,
key-value storage mechanisms, etc.
This request is to modify the JDO specification (and TCK & RI) so that it
relaxes certain portions of the specification, perhaps in the form of profiles
similar to JavaEE 6 profiles, to allow datastores that may not support queries
in general, do not support the ACID requirements, or that support
key-value-based storage mechanisms to be JDO-compliant. Additions to the
specification may also be needed in order to directly address NoSQL-type
datastores, in a manner similar to its treatment of relational persistence
mechanisms.
Additionally, this request would serve to better support persistence on micro
platforms where consistency, queriability, etc, may not be supported.
