Eric Charles commented on MAILBOX-44:
-------------------------------------
Robert,
Regarding distributed uid generation, we have defined
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-271 [gsoc2011] Design and implement
Distributed UID generation
I must reread your post and rereread the RFCs to have a better idea.
I suppose this doesn't change anything on Ioan application's scope. If mails
are persisted, and we have a solution for uid, we have a distributed james. But
uid is not in-scope here. wdyt?

> [gsoc2011] Design and implement a distributed mailbox using Hadoop

> Key: MAILBOX-44
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILBOX-44
> Project: James Mailbox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Eric Charles
> Assignee: Norman Maurer
> Labels: gsoc2011
>
> Context: The mailbox subproject (http://james.apache.org/mailbox/) supports
> maildir, SQL database (via JPA) and Java Content Repository (JCR) as
> technology for mail storage. This flexibility is achieved thanks to a API
> design that abstracts mail storage from the mail protocols.
> Task: We need to implement mailbox storage as a distributed system on top of
> Hadoop HDFS. The James mailbox API will be used. A first step is to design
> how to interact with Hadoop (native api, gora incubator at apache,...) and
> deal with specific performance questions related to mail loading/parsing in a
> distributed system (use map/reduce or not, use existing local lucene indexes
> for search,...). The second step is to implement the HDFS mailbox (maildir
> mailbox is similar because is stores mails as a file and can be an
> inspiration). A single James server will still be deployed because we don't
> have any distributed UID generation.
> Mentor: eric at apache dot org
> Complexity: medium
