Karl Wright reassigned CONNECTORS-55: ------------------------------------- Assignee: Karl Wright > Bundle database server with ManifoldCF packaged product > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONNECTORS-55 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-55 > Project: ManifoldCF > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Installers > Reporter: Jack Krupansky > Assignee: Karl Wright > Fix For: ManifoldCF 0.3 > > > The current requirement that the user install and deploy a PostgreSQL server > complicates the installation and deployment of LCF for the user. Installation > and deployment of LCF should be as simple as Solr itself. QuickStart is great > for the low-end and basic evaluation, but a comparable level of simplified > installation and deployment is still needed for full-blown, high-end > environments that need the full performance of a ProstgreSQL-class database > server. So, PostgreSQL should be bundled with the packaged release of LCF so > that installation and deployment of LCF will automatically install and deploy > a subset of the full PostgreSQL distribution that is sufficient for the needs > of LCF. Starting LCF, with or without the LCF UI, should automatically start > the database server. Shutting down LCF should also shutdown the database > server process. > A typical use case would be for a non-developer who is comfortable with Solr > and simply wants to crawl documents from, for example, a SharePoint > repository and feed them into Solr. QuickStart should work well for the low > end or in the early stages of evaluation, but the user would prefer to > evaluate "the real thing" with something resembling a production crawl of > thousands of documents. Such a user might not be a hard-core developer or be > comfortable fiddling with a lot of software components simply to do one > conceptually simple operation. > It should still be possible for the user to supply database server settings > to override the defaults, but the LCF package should have all of the > best-practice settings deemed appropriate for use with LCF. > One downside is that installation and deployment will be platform-specific > since there are multiple processes and PostgreSQL itself requires a > platform-specific installation. > This proposal presumes that PostgreSQL is the best option for the foreseeable > future, but nothing here is intended to preclude support for other database > servers in futures releases. > This proposal should not have any impact on QuickStart packaging or > deployment. > Note: This issue is part of Phase 1 of the CONNECTORS-50 umbrella issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
