Norman Maurer commented on MAILBOX-44: -------------------------------------- @Stack: Hope this makes it more clear: messagesMetaData(CF): { mailboxId/uid: { uid: 1, mailboxId: 184e-ske1-igk2-gj71 flags.recent: true, flags.deleted: true, flags.seen: true, flags.deleted: false, flags.seen: false, flags.flagged: true, bodyOctets: 19484 fullContentOctets: 10304 properties: namespace::localname::value;;namespace2::localname2::value2 headers: byte[], mediaType: text, subType: plain, textualLineCount: 24 } } messagesContent(CF): { mailboxId/uid: { 1: byte[], 2: byte[], 3: byte[] } } The I have secondary indexes on the messagesMetaData CF to be able to get all messages which belongs to mailbox X and have the deleted flag set etc. I used RP and used the secondary indexes for "filter" the right messages. Does it explain it a bit more ? > [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 > Fix For: 0.3 > > > 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.
