[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-9565) Add a Blobstore interface to add to blobstore FileSystems

["Steve Loughran (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9565?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13703597#comment-13703597 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9565:
----------------------------------------

This is what I'm thinking
# Blobstore interface for {{FileSystem}} and {{AbstractFileSystem}}
# blobstores to provide an instance specific enum set of consistency guarantees
# a local/remote flag, so that those FSs that know when they are in-cluster (swift explicitly, s3 once it does an nslookup & sees the bucket is on a 10. address).
# an optional (how to check?) copy() method that triggers a remote copy see  [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTObjectCOPY.html] for an example -much lower cost than a local copy.
# a {{put(Path, InputStream, length)}} that can be used to do a direct PUT without having to buffer it through a local file. This would be more efficient and should offer a better way to do these uploads than hiding them in a close operation that may be having its exceptions swallowed.

> We can make the fact that some {{FileSystem}} implementations are really blobstores, with different atomicity and consistency guarantees, by adding a {{Blobstore}} interface to add to them. 
> This could also be a place to add a {{Copy(Path,Path)}} method, assuming that all blobstores implement at server-side copy operation as a substitute for rename.
