A locked down require which doesn't load C bindings (i.e. only load .lua files) would probably be alright. > A more ambitious version would be to create an interface for users to > upload scripts and dependencies into objects, and support referencing > those objects as standard dependencies in Lua scripts as if they were > standard modules on the file system.

I imagine we'd just put all of the Lua modules in a flattened hierarchy under a RADOS namespace? The potentially annoying nit in this is writing some kind of mechanism for installing a Lua module tree into RADOS. Users would install locally and then upload the tree through some tool. -- Patrick Donnelly _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
