Fwd: Standard interfaces for replication providers

Folks,

This just came out of the GORDA project. I'd love to see the comments of our
replication/clustering geeks here on the list.

Hi,

We have just published the first draft of a proposal for standard interfaces
for database replication protocols. This interface enables DBMS independent
replication middleware, specifically, for eager and multi-master
replication. The proposed interface should also be useful for a wider range
of distributed database middleware.

This interface is currently rendered in Java and backed up by
proof-of-concept implementations on PostgreSQL and Apache Derby, several toy
applications, and a replication suite based on group communication.

Downloads of source code and documentation are available at:

We welcome the comments and suggestions of the open source database
hackers,
