Bug Description

It would be very nice if Eucalyptus could optionally use a database other than the self-contained hsql.

Perhaps postgres, or mysql.

This is a wishlist bug, just listed here for the sake of completeness, and/or discussion.

Per UDS-Dallas, the gobby notes stated:

 * Move the database away from hsql to something more stable:
  * ie, postgres, mysql, or ideally, a directory server
  * hsql has reliability issues (e.g. db deadlock issues)
  * hsql scalability
  * upstream says: in principle, there's no problem with hsql
   * other components in there (c3p0, hibernate, etc..)

Thanks Chris.

This is 'wishlist' priority, fwiw. Just a "would be nice to have"...

Not happening for Lucid. Possibly Lucid+1.

Technically, this is possible. Lots and lots of work, though, in the packaging/installation/configuration/etc. to make a db other than hsql work. Note that I've never done such things.

It's not going to happen for Eucalyptus 1.x and 2.x. 3.x will come with postresql.
