[infinispan-dev] Infinispan and Gora

[Pierre Sutra]

Hello,

As part of the LEADS project, we are planning to run Apache Nutch on top
of Infinispan. To that end, we implemented an infinispan module for
Apache Gora. The implementation is accessible via GitHub ( projects
https://github.com/otrack/Leads-infinispan.git and
https://github.com/vschiavoni/gora). At core, it relies on a preliminary
support for Avro in infinispan (impacting the remote-query-client,
remote-query-server and hotrod-client modules). This support uses the
self-descriptive capabilities of Avro data to avoid declaring types in
advance via Google Protocol Buffers ( protobuf). In the current state,
our modifications are not fully compatible with the existing
protobuf-based remote operations, but if they look of interest we can
improve this.

Cheers,
Pierre
