[infinispan-dev] decommission s3 cachestore

[Adrian Cole]

Hi, team.

There are a lot of differences between the beta-2 s3 implementation of
jclouds and "blobstore" our portable cross/cloud storage engine.
Moreover, there are significant differences between the s3 code in
jclouds trunk and the beta-2 one used by infinispan.

There's as much work to do rewriting and retesting cachestore-s3 as
there is to make cachestore-cloud, which could open infinispan to a
few more clouds.

AFAIK, the current cachestore-s3 is stable and is in no emergency to
update.   I'd recommend leaving the cachestore-s3 as is with the
beta-2 version of jclouds and deprecating it in favor of
cachestore-clouds.  It is then a scheduling decision whether to block
infinispoan GA on cachestore-clouds, or leave it for a follow-up.

What do you think?
Regards,
