Implement a MongoDB backend for SWH-provenance
Closed, MigratedEdits Locked

Description

Steps for phase 1

  • Finding an initial experimental data model
  • Make an MVP (with the new backend and a sample dataset)
  • Run some experiments
  • Scaling/performance improvements
  • Change the data model and indexes accordingly
  • Finding the hosting strategy (single server vs multiple instance)
  • Populate with prod data and testing
  • Deployment

Phase 2:

  • Support to work with incremental data stream

Python interface
Will use pymongo, the low level driver to interface with the db.
