----------------------------------
Hi, Eric Charles
Thanks for being willing to mentor me. I hope I will be selected.
Regarding your question, now I haven't decided to use what kinds of NoSQL
database because I know that there are different kinds of NoSQL database and
the APIs of them are different. Further study will be needed to decide which
one will be suitable for mail storage.
I do not plan to test the NoSQL database itself, for a mature NoSQL database
has already been taken many tests. I will design the RESTful interface for
James, implement it using several NoSQL databases, and I will test whether the
interface together with its implementations can work.
I hope this experience will be a good opportunity for me to learn James Mailbox
and some popular NoSQL databases.

> Key: MAILBOX-45
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILBOX-45
> 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: NoSQL storage (for example CouchDB or Cassandra) has great potential
> for mail storage. Design and develop an suitable RESTful integration API and
> implementations for as many NoSQL targets as possible in the time.
> Mentor: rdonkin at apache dot org
> Complexity: easy
