+TODO
+====
+
+In order of importance:
+
+ 1. Integrate Sampler with OpenNMS
+    - Query nodes from 'package' associate with sampler (NOC side)
+    - Add look up of agent credentials for snmp querying (NOC side - part of config)
+    - Setup schedule for nodes in package (Store side using config from NOC)
+    - Update agent to use 'nodeid' as agent identifier
+    - implement 'updateConfig' on snmpAgentRepository (save config Store side)
+ 1. Create 'MATH' api for applying math to Cassandra repository results
+    - 'bucketize' raw data (including missed data collection)
+    - calculate rate for COUNTER data
+    - create general framework for apply math to results 
+    - define 'rollup' math
+ 1. Brainstorm javascript plugin architecture for graphing engines
+ 1. Finalize REST api for use by graphing
+ 1. Graphing WEB UI
+    - add link to node page for launching 'new' graph ui
+    - list graphable resources available on indicated node and allow user to select (query resources by 'node'/'endpoint')
+    - show graphs that apply to indicated resources (query metrics by resource and find graphs that apply to metrics)
+ 1. Enable collection of metric groups not associated with a resource type. -- *Matt*
+ 1. Remote event collection.
+ 1. Remote polling
+ 1. Netflow
+    - Data Collection
+    - Data persistence
+    - define graph/report requirements
+    - model changes/improvements/alternatives?
+ 1. Improve routing code
+    - move routes into actual bundle
+    - provide a command or something that turns them routes back into configuration
+ 1. netmgt.api.sample: javadocs
+ 1. Good tests for api.sample implementations (then remove old from api.sample)
+ 1. Write tests for Cassandra sample repository
+ 1. How to apply Cassandra consistency levels in sample repo
+ 1. Merge base class with Cassandra sample repository
+ 1. SampleSet is not great; Externalizable? Other, more compact serialization?
+
+Space Concerns
+--------------
+ 1. Date/time-based sharding of rows in Cassandra sample repo (limit by column per row)
+ 1. Caching of resource attributes (Cassandra)
+
+
+Performance Concerns
+--------------------
+ 1. Provide persistence of 'bucket'/'rollup' math if latency indicates the need for it
+ 1. sampler.snmp.Column: don't recreate Metric from accessor
+
+
+Completed
+---------
+ 1. Create OSGi bundle of Cassandra driver.
+ 1. Get `JrrdSampleRespoitory` writing to onms-compatible paths (requires
+    some refactor of `Resource`).
+ 1. Reorder / prioritize this list!
+ 1. Implement storage of resource attributes (Cassandra repository).
+ 1. Implement storage of resource attributes (Jrrd repository).
+ 1. Implement:
+    - Query resource attributes (Cassandra)
+    - Query resource attributes (Jrrd)
