Apache OODT
The Apache Object Oriented Data Technology (OODT) is an open source data management system framework that is managed by the Apache Software Foundation. OODT was originally developed at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to support capturing, processing and sharing of data for NASA's scientific archives. History The project started out as an internal NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory project incepted by Daniel J. Crichton, Sean Kelly and Steve Hughes. The early focus of the effort was on information integration and search using XML as described in Crichton et al.'s paper in the CODATA meeting in 2000. After deploying OODT to the Planetary Data System and to the National Cancer Institute EDRN or Early Detection Research Network project, OODT in 2005 moved into the era of large scale data processing and management via NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) project. OODT's role on OCO was to usher in a new data management processing framework that instead of tens of jobs per day and tens of gigabytes of data would handle 10,000 jobs per day and hundreds of terabytes of data. This required an overhaul of OODT to support these new requirements. Dr. Chris Mattmann at NASA JPL led a team of 3-4 developers between
