           Summary: remaining provenance issues for 2.1 release
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: provenance
        AssignedTo: crawl at sdsc.edu
        ReportedBy: barseghian at nceas.ucsb.edu
         QAContact: kepler-dev at kepler-project.org
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


There are some remaining tasks to be done for provenance before we can ship
2.1:
- Dan has some schema changes to put in
- We need to start keeping more detailed versioning information about
provenance in the schema (right now the version column contains the major
version of the provenance schema, e.g. 8)
- We need an upgrade process in place to upgrade an old store.
- The HSQLDB provenance stores are now in version'd dirs, we also need to write
the provenance configuration files into these dirs, so a user can config one
version of kepler to connect to a custom store, and not have this trampled by a
subsequent version of kepler.

Our current plan is to upgrade provenance stores as necessary with new versions
of provenance, but the new store is created from the old, and the old is left
in tact. It will be up to the user if they want to keep their old prov store
around, they will need it if they ever want to open an older run when in Strict
mode, unless they have already exported this run into a kar.
