ioan eugen stan commented on MAILBOX-44: ---------------------------------------- I have added your recomandations to my application. Thanks for all the help. Please keep in mind that many of these are new to me and right now I am a bit overwhelmed by that. I see a lot of new names and it's a bit discouraging. I wish to see the project complete so please keep things simple for me until I can manage all this information. First make it run and then make it run fast. - Ioan > [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 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
