[Go-essp-tech] CMIP5 publishing to Gateway and P2P nodes

[Eric Nienhouse]

Hi Luca,

We began discussing CMIP5 paths forward including phased roll-out of the 
P2P nodes in the go-essp call yesterday.  Bob described a phase 2 and 3 
which involve publishing catalogs to both the Gateway and a P2P index 
node.  In other words, an interim heterogeneous system.

You mentioned that nodes (eg. the NCAR data node) may *only* need to 
publish to the Gateway and that these nodes could be harvested and 
indexed by others within the P2P system.  This would avoid the need to 
doubly publish which is desirable.

I'm curious how might this work.  Is it only certain nodes that could 
function in this way?  What would be required at the node to do so?

Thanks,

-Eric
