Attendees: Michelle Caisse, Michael Bouschen, Craig Russell Agenda: 1. Query Cancel TCK tests With the latest tests it seems that the big job in query is during instead of Statement.execute(). Next try to write lock some instances and see if that affects the behavior. 2. Tests in api2 for ... getPersistenceManagerFactory(Map,Map) Making progress; a bit of reorganization and testing is still needed. 3. Metadata tests Andy says that the latest snapshots of DataNucleus contain a fix for the getParent() returning nothing. AI Craig test with the SNAPSHOT version. 4. Spec updates No changes since last week. 5. Other issues NoSQL might be a good way to improve JDO's visibility. JDO was designed to support non-SQL datastores. In fact, the first RI was a distinctly non-SQL implementation, essentially a key-value store. What needs to be done for NoSQL in general is to go through the specification in detail and highlight those parts that cannot now be implemented reasonably by a key-value store, or a non-transactional datastore. NoSQL is probably too big a description of the kinds of datastores that makes sense for JDO to support. Part of the exercise should be to categorize the NoSQL datastores to focus on those categories that make sense for JDO. Craig L Russell Architect, Oracle 408 276-5638 P.S. A good JDO? O, Gasp!
