[Geoserver-devel] Ingestion Engine

Hi list,
I'm going to implement an ingestion engine for Geoserver data because
trying to use the actual ingestion system with a large amount of data
is near impossible.

Me and Simone have discussed a lot about it, and finally we have
decided to build something similar to the "Live Deploy" in Tomcat or
JBoss, basically a thread that at certain temporal intervals reads the
file system and checks for changes. At the end the user should be able
to manage Geoserver data like a file system directory tree.

I would like to start building the main thread and I'm evaluating
several solutions. It would be great to use Quartz Scheduler but I
think that it has a License incompatible with the Geoserver one.

Does someone know if there is any other open source scheduler
available on the net?

Any suggestion about this idea will be very appreciated.

Cheers,
                Alessio.
