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 byproof-of-concept implementations on PostgreSQL and Apache
Derby,several toyapplications, 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,
