Hi all, it looks like I will be very busy on Search and some more Infinispan integrations in the coming couple of months, but there are some very exciting things that I would love to see in OGM soon, and since I heard there is a lot of excited people out there waiting for this too, this is your chance to grab some more glory.
As you know we have several GridDialects, one of the first one was supporting Infinispan but only in "embedded mode". Embedded mode was the first choice because it's easier, and also because: - it supports transactions - had some form of query capability (although we never used it) - lowest latency, assuming your data set is reasonable But people looking at OGM are especially fascinated by the idea to use it in a more traditional architecture, which implies having a "database" as a separate independent service. Infinispan 6.0 is almost ready, and thanks to Gunnar includes a bit of OGM in its DNA to support queries defined from a remote client (Hot Rod client). I think it would be terrific if someone could start hacking on a HotRodDialect, and start writing tests to stress this new query capability; specifically I had the Gunnar - Davide team in mind if they can :-) We'll have to ignore transactions for now, I guess it could be considered like we do with MongoDB: make it clear the backend is not transactional in the docs. Timing-wise, if we could have a prototype using HQL queries very very soon, that would be a great help to the Infinispan team as it would validate the new feature; this idea of mine is probably too late as Infinispan is already at CR2 phase (tomorrow) but you might be able to put some basic checks in place on time? Second priority - also relatively urgent - is to move on to latest ORM version, so that possible complexities can be softened in ORM before 4.3 is declared Final.. it's still using the outdatet 4.2.0.CR1 !? We should get it to work on WildFly quickly.
