Hi Stefan,
First let me say Thank you Emmanuel for your great work in the last days
fixing some old bugs and applying some of the patches that were sleeping
in the Jira :-) I have hope that someday i can build Sequoia from the
SVN directly :-)
You are welcome. I think we have reached an agreement with Continuent so
that we can have an open source version that moves forward with
community contributions while still leaving the opportunity for
Continuent to base products on stable branches and builds.
The situation is still a little delicate with 2.10 since this is the
product branch and commits have to be carefully reviewed first.
To the future plans.
I must stand up and raise my finger, i can't find any point about making
Sequoia stable. The last point in 4.x is the only thing that goes this
way. I hope i can help you as much as i can with the Test Suite and
writing Tests.
This was one of my concern too and that's why I did not want to start
working on 4.x before being sure that Continuent would commit to
contribute its test suite (at least partially) to the open source
community. We will probably have to limit the number of tested features
but the test suite will be key for this stability.
Another feature/bug* that would make Sequoia more stable is the
WAN-scenario that is not yet supported by Sequoia.
Any Ideas?
Multi-master replication in a WAN scenario is unlikely to happen.
Asynchronous replication between interconnected site is doable. I would
recommend the reading of section 4.3.4.3 on Network Partitions from my
last Sigmod paper (http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/118488). The CAP
principle (by Fox & Brewer) is a must read too.

Ok, I have commented on the JIRA issue, you can have a look and let me
know what you think.

I guess this one should be a quick fix. Need to see with Robert if he
allows that in 2.10.

Commented the JIRA issue as well. IMHO, we should remove that feature...
Thanks a lot for your feedback and support,
Emmanuel
