- Buffering

Development
The library is identified by the following maven coordinates:
<groupId>org.gcube.accounting</groupId> <artifactId>accounting-lib</artifactId>
Persistence
The current implementation of persistence for this library is for CouchDB storage.
<groupId>org.gcube.accounting</groupId> <artifactId>accounting-lib-persistence-couchdb</artifactId>
Less dependency is better than more
This library must be available on every node of the infrastructure. To respect as much possible ZERO-DEPENDENCY paradigm of SmartGears a simple couchdb-connector (simple HTTP client library) has been developed.
