Description

This is a project idea for Google Summer of Code (GSOC).

To discuss this or other ideas with your potential mentor from the Apache ManifoldCF project, sign up and post to the [e-mail] list, including "[GSOC]" in the subject. You may also comment on this Jira issue if you have created an account. 

We would like to extend the Content Migration capabilities adding Azure Storage as a new output connector for importing contents from one or more repositories supported by ManifoldCF. In this way we will help developers on migrating contents from different data sources on Azure Storage.

You will be involved in the development of the following tasks, you will learn how to:

• Write the connector implementation
• Implement unit tests
• Build all the integration tests for testing the connector inside the framework
• Write the documentation for this connector

You will find a technical description about all the references to the Azure Java SDK on an existing issue on our JIRA:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1441

 

We have a complete documentation on how to implement an Output Connector:

https://manifoldcf.apache.org/release/release-2.9.1/en_US/writing-output-connectors.html

Take a look at our book to understand better the framework and how to implement connectors:
