Vagrant/Apache Camel Component Issue

Next week, David and Andrew D. Wilcox and A. Woods are to be at the Fedora Users Group meeting in Washington D. C.
They shall not be available for the next meeting
This features a Fedora 4 workshop (requires the spinning up of a Vagrant Box)

Issue 1706

Discussed between ajs6f and acoburn

...

Implement a patch (which works fine), or update the Visitor Class (an interface in Jena; this requires more work)
A. Soroka (ajs6f): Good with pull request as it stands

...

acoburn: confirms, another ticket for Visitor within Jena would be good; can create the Visitor ticketcreated a related ticket here:

GitHub Shuffle

Need to sort out maintainers on a number of GitHub repositories

A Technical subtask is outstanding (

)

acoburn: Outstanding issues for these shouldn't hold up a release

awoods: These 6 repositories appear to have been moved out of fcrepo-labs, and into fcrepo-ext exts where appropriate

awoods: Just a matter of updating the README file for each of them

...

Coburn and Ruest coordinating who shall be maintainers
A. Woods:
  • Call for maintainers for any of the

  • webapp-plus with 0 or 1 maintainers
Without owners, note that these modules are to be put on the fence, staying where they are

Let's say we do that...which modules to be released (not a huge deal)

  6. Issue1683

It was suggested in a previous release that release candidate branches be created

Let these float out there for testing (as integration tests alone may not be sufficient)
Are people in the position to do sandy sanity testing (if candidate branches created over the next week)?
Ideally, all developers in Fedora who run into issues while testing would create a ticket
For example, the most Vagrant issues (tests are passing, but not working)
whikloj, acoburn, and Nick N. Ruest suggest the usage of release-candidate branches with a code freeze

...

Current conference line is quite expensive
DavidD. Wilcox: New, free line is almost exactly the same...except without offering "1-800" toll-free numbers

...

Administrative Dashboard is also available for David and AndrewD. Wilcox and A. Woods
Dedicated for Fedora (no conflicts with DuraSpace)

...

Wilcox: Uncertain if this is offered

 

HydraConnect

2015

Unknown User (daniel-dgi) can speak to many of the exchanges

Repository

Daniel Lamb was there...absent for this call

Interoperability

Two sessions...one was a preconference event on the Monday nightnight of 10/21/15 (Monday)
Not much on what Islandora is doing wrong for Fedora 4
Hydra focused upon what they are improving (e. g. binding their Views)
Discussion landing on PCDM as least common denominator
Islandora over Fedora 4...Hydra over same Fedora 4...ideally, be able to have an admin view of Fedora resources
Lot of interest among the group in moving Hydra forward
Abstraction in Fedora 4...a standardized API is currently being established
PCDM conversation in particular is moving forward within the community
Addressing issues of value to the Hydra community
Esme E. Cowles is progressing with a branch is moving towards resolving 1742

E-Tags

E-Tags are generated solely based upon last modified date (managed by ModeShape)
Doesn't always work...issue with inbound references (i. e. cases for referencing between repository resources)
Updating B so that it references A...updates timestamp for resource A
Some parties find this behavior to be valid and appropriate...because the one potential representation has been changed for A
Others which develop applications that rely on E-Tags find that changing the timestamps often can trigger failures

Strong E-Tags should be Weak E-Tags

Reasoning: Strong E-Tags are byte-for-byte identical with regards to response
With content negotiation, responses aren't byte-for-byte identical, but the E-Tags are same
Further, for a higher-level application (e. g. Hydra) weak E-Tags have additional benefits

Fedora 3 to 4 Migration Interest Group

Workshop at HydraConnect (all day on Monday, three parts)
Woods: Core features and hands-on exercises
Benjamin Armintor: Session on migration using fedora-migrate; ActiveFedora 8 connecting to fcrepo 3; ActiveFedora 9 connecting to fcrepo 4 and migrating the content
Lamb: Integrating with external components via Apache Camel...just used fcrepo-camel (didnt use reindexer, solr, triplestoreupdater); How can you integrate with Fedora using Camel (using routes defined in XML)
Re-ran migration utility...using Camel routes for image resources, filtered for just JPEG images, executed ImageMagick, and re-ingesting the thumbnail as a child of the resource with the image
Session later in week: Hydra, and migrating into fcrepo4 (A. Woods, B. Armintor on are in the interest group)
Hydra community is in the position: no active development for fcrepo3 stack; how do I get on to Fedora 4 then?
Hydra is strictly focused upon fcrepo 4; Hence, the IG was born (define practices, documentation around migration)
(Within Hydra context, a consistent way of migrating into fcrepo4)

...

Exercising the limits of the Fedora stack

People are being drawn to the fcrepo4 project
Current and potential scalability appeals to these new parties
Concrete descriptions of tests are desired
These render it easier for individuals coming into project...leading to the creation of infrastructure and the addressing of testing
Infinispan and the potential of the fcrepo4 stack (particularly focusing upon scalability targets)
Create isolated test scenarios
Technical WG (Technical Working Group) from last year has some of this already
Interested Parties
  • whikloj
  • osmandin
  • acoburn
  • awagner
  • jrgriffiniii
  • ajs6f (Volunteering to Help)
Call to starting a Google Doc
Over the next couple of weeks, collectively come up with a test plan
Please include everyone in the community if this is initiated; otherwise, A. Woods will address after traveling
This should be an outline of a test plan...again, refer to the work of the Technical WG 
Examples of Test Cases:
  • Scaling for resources
  • Scaling for a number of bytes
  • scaling for a large repository collection
  • iterating over reads
  • performing an operation offline and pushing back updates
  • at each resource, POSTing back an update

Include references for components at the Infinispan layer

Also discuss deployment into the cloud (particularly AWS)

Cleaning up Vagrant

N. Ruest has progressed much with the Islandora ecosystem
Vagrant Box with main components installed in the base box
Pulls down pertinent versions of Fedora components...installing all of the infrastructure for the Box

Question of Packer/Vagrant for Docker?

Deep-dive for next installation...sorting out the Vagrant/Packer discussion
Working with Yinlin's Docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/yinlinchen/fcrepo4-docker/
Still need expertise for Packer
N. Ruest: Each institution requires its own Vagrant
ksclarke: has a number of features which he has to offer
