I agree it's overkill, and have an alternative proposal:

Hibernate OGM should define an interface which is appropriate for its
own consumption; the Wildfly NoSQL subssystem can have its own
interface so to not depend on OGM, but they would be somewhat similar
for each given NoSQL technology we intend to support in this way.

Then JipiJapa can inject an adaptor into the OGM boostrap phase,
delegating from one to the other. So only the OGM specific JipiJapa
module would need to depend on both interfaces.
If this dependency is not desirable either, then I think we can live
with a non-typesafe generic provider of things.

Thanks,
