Hello infra and devstack, I would like to start thread about adding of nosql databases support to devstack for development and gating purposes. Currently there is necessity of HBase and Cassandra in MagnetoDB project for running tempest tests. We have implemented Cassandra as part of MagnetoDB devstack integration ( https://github.com/stackforge/magnetodb/tree/master/contrib/devstack) and started working on HBase now ( https://blueprints.launchpad.net/magnetodb/+spec/devstack-add-hbase). >From other side, HBase and Cassandra are supported as database backends in Ceilometer and it can be useful for development and gating to have it in devstack. So, it looks like common task for both projects and eventually will be integrated to devstack, so I'm suggesting to start that discussion in order push ahead with it. Cassandra and HBase are both Java applications, so come with JDK as dependency. It is proved we can use OpenJDK available in debian repos. The database itself are distributed in two ways: - as debian packages build and hosted by software vendors HBase deb http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/ubuntu12/2.x HDP main Cassandra deb http://debian.datastax.com/community stable main - as tar.gz hosted on Apache Download Mirrors HBase http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hbase/ Cassandra http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/cassandra/ The distributions provided by Apache Foundation looks more reliable, but I heard, that third party sources can be not stable enough to introduce them as dependencies in devstack gating. I have registered BP in devstack project about adding HBase https://blueprints.launchpad.net/devstack/+spec/add-hbase-to-devstack and we have started working on it. Please share your thoughts about it to help make it real. Thank you. Have a nice day, Ilya Sviridov isviridov @ FreeNode -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
