Hello,

I was excited to hear last week that Apple had open sourced FoundationDB [1], a distributed ACID k/v store. I'm hopeful 

that it may fill a hole that Janus has in the distributed & ACID department. Towards that end, I have started work on a 

FoundationDB storage adapter and have a crude first cut running and passing most tests. I think there is more work to 

be done to prove out if this is a good idea or not for Janus, but I wanted to drop a note here to let folks know if they 

were interested in trying it out in the meantime. If it seems like a good fit, I'll start a DISCUSS thread to see if it should

be rolled into Janus proper or left in a separate repo. For the time being, if you'd like to kick the tires, you can find the work at 

https://github.com/twilmes/janusgraph/tree/foundationdb-storage. 

To run it, you'll need to install FoundationDB and then build Janus

mvn clean install -Pjanusgraph-release -Dgpg.skip=true -DskipTests

You can then grab the distribution zip from: janusgraph-dist/janusgraph-dist-hadoop-2/target/janusgraph-dist/janusgraph-dist-hadoop-2/target/

Connecting to your local FDB from the Gremlin console:

gremlin> graph = JanusGraphFactory.open('conf/janusgraph-foundationdb.properties')

==>standardjanusgraph[foundationdb:[127.0.0.1]]
