Personally, I don't. It'd make little sense to even attempt to
standardise something that fast moving, fragmented and chaotic in a
slow-moving stable standard like EE and JPA. There's no common query
language, result format, etc. In any case, personally I'm mostly a
PostgreSQL user and - other than some fetch control issues - I'm very
happy working with that through JPA.
It only came up because I mistakenly thought that EclipseLink had
managed to support some NoSQL querying within the JPA framework, so I
was wondering if JPA was really just bagggage for NoSQL based apps or if
it was useful. My error entirely.
I don't think Antonio was saying there should be NoSQL standardisation
either - only that some people want to remove JPA support because if
they're using some NoSQL flavour or another they aren't using it.
