Hi Everyone, Just a quick update on the progress of the Gora + Amazon DyanmoDB Google Summer of Code Project. Well since it was last discussed on list there has been quite a significant degree of progress. I would really advise anyone interested in the future project outcomes to take a bit of time to get up to speed with the project reporting which is stored here[0].
In the last few reports Renato has made considerable work on a restructuring of gora-core to accommodate web services (and actually gora-sql!!!) as well as significant progress on the dynamodb module. Fundamentally he discovered early underlying problems/conflicts of interest between Avro and Amazon DynamoDB and therefore implemented the restructuring of gora-core you now see in the goraamzon branch. The upside of this is that many other datastores can now extend the structure as well so it's quite clear this project is going to have a longer than originally anticipated legacy for Gora :0) Although I have the task of official project mentor I think it important to write to everyone and get feedback if any is offered. Renato and myself were discussing whether to keep the amazon branch in sync with trunk and although this is important I also think it is important for us to communicate the expected changes the project will ultimately propose back into Gora trunk. So with that said I encourage anyone to chip in on this thread with anything they feel would either improve the project direction which we can take on board and possibly incorporate within all of our best interests. Thanks for now and ta in advance to anyone for input Lewis [0] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/gora/branches/goraamazon/gora-dynamodb/reporting/ -- Lewis
