[infinispan-dev] moving (some) cache stores in a different github repository

[Mircea Markus]

Hi,

Because of the hight number of dependencies and large distribution size (build time as well) there were discussions about moving some of the cache stores into an independent git repository under the infinispan project. Now that we have two more cache stores to be integrated (JPA and MongoDB), it's a good opportunity to start a discussion around this.

The cache stores I'm thinking about are: JPA, MongoDB (integrated them directly in the new repository), Cassandra, Cloud, HBase, jdbm and bdbje. Or thinking more about it, why not all of them but the file cache store - which is dependency free and it's nice to ship it .

There are several options when it comes to releasing these stores. I think the simplest is by to a maven repo (i.e. no .zip file). If there'll be demand for specific distribution files we can always add it at a further point in time.

wdyt? 

Cheers,
