Hi all, As you may be aware, there is a face-to-face meeting in London where various committers and (other interested parties) will be discussing future directions for Fedora. One topic slated for discussion is that of Fedora's storage architecture. The ideas of multiplexing storage (so that managed content can be sent to different storage devices based on some criteria), hierarchical storage, alternate object representations, etc have been discussed in the past. I would like to propose a few architectural changes to the Fedora core that could make these tasks easier to implement.
I made a skeleton of a page on the wiki: http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/x/syTS A draft is currently written up in a pdf doc (which is linked on the wiki page): http://www.fedora-commons.org/confluence/download/attachments/13771955/fedora-highlevel-storage_draft-proposal.pdf The main purpose of the proposal is to spur conversation on the topic.. the proposal may or may not represent an ideal approach, but it seems to represent a logical next step that would remove some of the existing architectural barriers to implementing more sophisticated storage strategies. I decided to put this up quickly so that people can have some time to read it over, ask questions, discuss, think about how to improve it, or propose alternatives. Hopefully, this is a topic that people would like to discuss. -Aaron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Fedora-commons-developers mailing list Fedora-commons-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fedora-commons-developers
