Soft schema-based storage ------------------------- Key: ISPN-1103 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1103 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Randall Hauch Priority: Critical This JIRA is about storing metadata alongside values. Perhaps encapsulating values as SchematicValues, which could be described as: {code} class SchematicValue { String jsonMetadata; String jsonObject; } {code} Metadata would allow for a few interesting features: * Extracting of lifespan and timestamp data if manipulated over a remote protocol (REST, HotRod, etc) * Content type for REST responses * Timestamps and SHA-1 hashes, useful for for HTTP headers (e.g., ETag, Cache-control, etc.) * Validation information (may not be processed by Infinispan, but can be used by client libs) * Classloader/marshaller/classdef version info * General structure of the information stored * Reference to the schema for this document * Storage of older versions
