["Stefan Guggisberg (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-56?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Stefan Guggisberg resolved OAK-56.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

resolving as "won't fix" for now, as discussed with thomas off-list.

we will revisit this topic once we have a concrete use case/need for a file system abstraction in oak-mk.

> A file system abstraction allows to add new features (cross cutting concerns) in a modular way, for example:
> - detection and special behavior of out-of-disk space situation
> - profiling and statistics over JMX
> - re-try on file system problems
> - encryption
> - file system monitoring
> - replication / real-time backup on the file system level (for clustering)
> - caching (improved performance for CRX)
> - allows to easily switch to faster file system APIs (FileChannel, memory mapped files)
> - debugging (for example, logging all file system operations)
> - allows to implement s3 / hadoop / mongodb / ... file systems - not only by us but from 3th party, possibly the end user
> - zip file system (for example to support read-only, compressed repositories)
> - testing: simulating out of disk space and out of memory (ensure the repository doesn't corrupt in this case)
> - testing: simulate very large files (using an in-memory file system)
> - splitting very large files in 2 gb blocks (FAT and other file systems that don't support large files)
> - data compression (if needed)
