Repositories Metadata Content Storage

 With version 2.0.2, Metadata repository content can also be stored in an Apache Cassandra database.

 It's possible to switch implementation with configuring the system property (-Darchiva.repositorySessionFactory.id=) with one
 of the id below.

 There are now 3 implementations of storage:

 * File (id: file)

 * Jackarabbit (default one) (id: jcr)

 * Cassandra (id: cassandra)

 []


* Jackrabbit

 Prior to version 1.4-M1, repository content is now stored in a jcr repository (based on Apache Jackrabbit implementation).

 A default Jackrabbit configuration is provided :

%{snippet|id=default-repository|ignoreDownloadError=true|url=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/archiva/trunk/archiva-modules/plugins/metadata-store-jcr/src/main/resources/org/apache/archiva/metadata/repository/jcr/repository.xml}

 You can use your own configuration by adding a file repository.xml in $\{appserver.base}/conf.

 By default, the Jcr repository is stored $\{appserver.base}/data/jcr.

 If you want to change this default location, you must edit the file WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml, uncomment/edit lines and change with your values:

%{snippet|id=jcr-location|ignoreDownloadError=true|url=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/archiva/trunk/archiva-modules/archiva-web/archiva-webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml}

* Cassandra

  With the distribution including the embeded Jetty, you can configure Cassandra runtime in the file conf/archiva-cassandra.properties.

  The default content:

+---------------------------
cassandra.host=localhost
cassandra.port=9160
cassandra.maxActive=20
cassandra.readConsistencyLevel=QUORUM
cassandra.writeConsistencyLevel=QUORUM
cassandra.replicationFactor=1
cassandra.keyspace.name=ArchivaKeySpace
cassandra.cluster.name=archiva
+---------------------------

  If you deploy in a Web Application container, you can configure a path to this configuration file using the system property: -Darchiva.cassandra.configuration.file=
