Wojtek commented on JAMES-2586:
-------------------------------
> Contribution welcomed.
Understood, though this hangs a lot on the James' team stance and "only
postgres". I guess that if it could be shown that something more universal
offers ~comparable performance then such submission would be acceptable?
I remember that work but this was less about performance but more about the
memory leak. Nevertheless it gives some insight. Do you have any recommnded
tool to load-test James so it would be possible to easily have reproducible
tests? (JMeter)?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-2586
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Matthieu Baechler
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 235.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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.
