Minutes
- Goals
- Emse: Clean up logging output so we don’t scare new users
- Don’t output stack trace when we have code to address the issue (e.g. 404)
- Greg: What are we doing to refactor authorization?
- Existing authorization framework was refactored last sprint so content nodes reference ACLs stored in system space (rather than hanging off the nodes themselves)
- Mike: Clean up JCR leaks
- General vote to de-prioritize UI issues until next sprint
- Emse: Clean up logging output so we don’t scare new users
- Tickets
- Ensure a clean shutdown of the repository on container shutdown.

- Need to update date to 2014 across all files
- Document Id Translator Pattern
- Create Maven BOMs for fcrepo dependencies
- https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/63571456
- Maven 3 BOMs are a new structure for expressing dependencies. Using them should replace the fcrepo-jcr project (which is just a pom.xml for dependencies, and a dummy Java file to suppress the warning if there is a package with no source code).
- Reduce build and runtime logging verbosity
- Investigate what data is available on incoming authz requests for newly created objects, i.e. in Session
- How many objects can F4 hold?
- https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/70648658
- There are several testing tickets related to ingesting large numbers of objects. We can approach these in two different ways:
- Wait for the auto-generated hierarchy updates to land.
- Create top-level containers to partition the repository so this work can go forward without waiting for the auto-generated hierarchy updates.
- Replace POST auto-hierarchy
- Employ transparent auto-hierarchy for objects
- https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/70648694
- This is a strategy to avoid performance problems with large numbers of children under a single node. When a child node is created, the identifier (either supplied or auto-generated) is used to generate a hierarchy, and that hierarchy is hidden from the user. This is pretty involved and will have a broad impact across the codebase, and is important for performance. This is a good area for multiple developers to collaborate. Also, the Replace POST with auto-hierarchy ticket is related and will probably be largely addressed by this.
- Test repo export at scale
- https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/70648736
- Both for testing large-scale export performance, and making sure it is functional at large scale. We should create a large number of objects, export the data, import the export file into a fresh repo, and then re-export it. The export files should match. We could develop SPARQL queries or other strategies for verifying that the repository content is loaded correctly, but it's probably more efficient to manually inspect a random sample. Longshou's sample dataset may be useful for testing this.
- Tighten code styling
- https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/70648784
- Tightening code styling is a larger discussion. But a good task to work on now to provide options to discuss and act on at the Asheville hackfest.
- Move git repos to new git organization
- https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/70671342
- We should move the main fcrepo4 and other active repositories out of the "futures" github organization (which isn't a very good label now). They should be moved to a new "fcrepo4" organization. We can repurpose the futures organization for a "Fedora Labs" area similar to the new Hydra Labs. We may also want a separate area to separate core fcrepo4 from extended (but still "blessed"/supported modules) -- we can discuss this in the future.
- Remote pid-minter
- Unit and Integration tests to 80%
- Determine potential of horizontal scaling
- Other notes
- All developers should estimate their tickets and give some serious thought to whether their tickets are achievable this sprint, so we can shift the load -- better to this earlier and be able to plan effectively.
