jclouds and JDK7 NIO.2 FileSystemProvider
Hello list,
I'm just getting familiar with the jclouds library and am quite
pleased so far. Thanks for creating the library.
Is there a JDK7 NIO.2 FileSystemProvider adapter over the jcloud blob
store API? I'm not very familiar with the issues around blob storage
so I'm not sure it even makes sense to provide an implementation of
the FileSystemProvider.
FWIW, I've only found one FileSystemProvider API over S3 so far:
https://github.com/martint/s3fs
Thanks,
Kevin

Ah, so I think you've got it backwards. I'm looking for a custom
java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider over the jclouds BlobStore api --
not a jclouds BlobStore over the NIO2 FileSystem.

We document the filesystem blobstore here:
http://jclouds.incubator.apache.org/documentation/quickstart/filesystem/
http://jclouds.incubator.apache.org/documentation/userguide/filesystem-provider/
The filesystem blobstore should operate exactly like regular blobstores.
jclouds also offers a transient blobstore which does not persist to
disk. I find both useful for testing.

I haven't tried the JDK6-based FileSystemProvider. I didn't know it
was available, actually. Is there documentation?
Sure, I can take a look to see what implementing a JDK7 FileProvider
would entail if others are also interested.

What do you find lacking in the JDK6-based FileSystemProvider? I have
noticed that it scales poorly with large directories which NIO.2 would
help address. jclouds does not offer support for this today, in part
because we maintain compatibility with JDK6. However, we could host a
JDK7-enhanced provider in labs if the community found this useful.
Would you like to take up this task?
