> Key: HBASE-2387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2387
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature

> FUSE: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
> Create a FUSE translator that mounts exported tablespaces into the Linux filesystem namespace. Should run in either of two modes:
> 1) Map the exported tablespace under the mount point.
> - If backing with Stargate this is a 1:1 map of resource paths to filesystem paths.
> - Via Thrift or Avro connector, should have the same mapping but implementation will be more involved.
> 2) Emulate a filesystem, like s3fs (http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/wiki/FuseOverAmazon)
> - Translate paths under the mount point to row keys for good load spreading, {{/a/b/c/file.ext}} becomes {{file.ext/c/b/a}}
> - Consider borrowing from Tom White's Hadoop S3 FS (HADOOP-574), and store file data as blocks.
> -- After fetching the inode can stream all blocks, e.g. via a multiget if available. This would support arbitrary file sizes. Otherwise there is a practical limit somewhere around 20-50 MB with default regionserver heaps.
> -- So, {{file.ext/c/b/a}} gets the inode. Blocks would be keyed using the SHA-1 hash of their contents.
> -- Use multiversioning on the inode to get snapshots for free: A path in the filesystem like {{/a/b/c/file.ext;timestamp}} gets file contents on or before _timestamp_.
> -- Because new writes produce new blocks with unique hashes, this is like a dedup filesystem. Use ICV to maintain use counters on blocks.
> If backing with Stargate, support its multiuser mode.
