I'm actually starting to write one of these for postgres, and apparently there is another one in the works, from Thomas Hallgren.
There is at least one significant architectural issue here to deal with
Is it more desirable to have a single java vm and communicate via RPC, or some other mechanism? ie sockets, or ? The alternative is to instantiate a java vm for every connection, this could be onerous as there would be considerable overhead for each java vm.
I think anything other than a single jvm would be too much of a performance hit.
This will all go away as soon as java version 1.5 comes out but in the meantime, what does everyone think
Comments are welcome.
On platforms built with GCC3.2+, GCJ might be an alternative.
