So Minerva is like a distributed datastore, specifically for python object storage ?
Interesting. Do you think you would do this today with a Cassandra/Hbase? Can it be done - let's say take python 3.10 and the latest Cassandra (or even better - something like Firebase or Cloud Spanner).
Just curious that in a post AWS/Firebase world, can something like Minerva be built, without investing in writing the db store ground up.
The incarnation of Minerva I worked on actually used Cassandra as its storage backend. But it's something that's not particularly useful piecemeal; the great value of Minerva is that all the bank's data is there and it's all temporal, all access-controlled and all the rest. The most fragile and cumbersome parts of Minerva are the parts where it integrates with an external/legacy datastore - but if you tried to introduce a Minerva-style datastore as a small piece in a system that was otherwise using a "normal" technology stack, those integrations would be most of what you made.
