Hi Lewis, Thank you for your reply. Interested in what the Gora team would think of a project like MetaModel.
I'm not an expert on Gora, but I did check out the project website and peeked at the code. Looks like there might be some use-cases for MetaModel there. For example, I see that you are doing quite some String-based query building logic in the gora-sql module, and I think that could benefit from an first-class querying API like MetaModel. Currently MetaModel does not have support for a lot of the datastores that are mentioned on the website (like Hbase, Cassandra, Redis) but maybe we can add adaptors for those in MetaModel at some stage.

I'm going to bring this thread to the attention of the Apache Gora community as one of the issues we are currently working on relates closely to uniform access and operations across datastore modules within Gora. I wonder if you would like to check out Gora [0] and provide some insight into where/if you think MetaModel could be used. This 'may' be a possible route into the ASF or alternatively may attract interest to begin other work as a podling within the Incubator.
