Ioan Eugen Stan commented on JAMES-2586:
----------------------------------------

We can decide how we use the tools and *document* those decisions.
We can do that as part of a future community effort (via a community call).
That way we as a community decide and we enforce them by pointing things out. 
It should be more of a soft enforcement than a hard one: please do that instead 
of this, because it's more useful for us to maintain the project. 
What I would like to get out of is a clear process for how we encourage 
contributions.
This is intended to make our lives simpler when we manage the future of Apache 
James: we have a simple process, we expect people to behave and we have some 
expectations of how things will unfold.

> James has a JPA implementation of most interfaces that allows to deploy it on 
> top of some popular RDBMS.
> However, while useful for some kind of applications, ORM are usually a bad 
> fit for applications requiring high performance like a mail server.
> As an abstraction, it also prevents from using advanced features of a given 
> RDBMS.
> For most usages, James would probably run great on top of Postgres, given 
> that we use advanced features to implement search, for example.
> A good strategy would be to implement all interfaces implemented by JPA with 
> a modern Postgres driver.
