----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.14.0)
> Modularisation of Oak
> ---------------------
>
> Key: OAK-6069
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6069
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Epic
> Components: core
> Reporter: angela
> Priority: Major
> Labels: modularization
> Fix For: 1.16.0
>
>
> Epic to track individual steps towards improved modularisation of Oak
> Until now Oak modules are all released together, which has some drawbacks.
> Work on the modules must be somewhat kept in lockstep. Releasing a fix for a
> module means all other modules must be in a state that can be released as
> well. For a user it may be desirable to just update a single module to get a
> fix and not a complete set of Oak bundles.
> The general approach for this epic should be to modularize only as needed and
> not split everything. Obvious candidates are stable interfaces like Oak and
> NodeStore API and NodeStore implementations.
> This requires fixing potential circular dependencies between logical modules
> we want to split up. We need a better distinction between the interface part
> of the SPI and its implementations. Utilities and commons code must be
> reviewed and potentially moved.
> The oak-it related dependencies should be reconsidered and that a development
> version of a NodeStore implementation can run integration tests. With the
> current dependency setup a release of the NodeStore implementation is
> required first to run the integration tests with those changes.
> Some modules will probably be moved to the top-level and have their own
> branches and tags.
> To avoid branches it is important to always have trunk stable. Feature work
> must happen on feature branches, in a forked module or protected with a
> feature flag until it is ready for prime time. No more unstable work in trunk.
> Module owner is primarily responsible for module releases. At some point
> there won't be a dedicated person anymore responsible for 'the Oak release'.
