> > > Alluxio supports HCFS(https://docs.alluxio.io/os/user/stable/en/api/Java-API.html#hadoop-compatible-java-client), which also supports by the Fileset, so I think you could refer to the implementations for Fileset managing the cloud storages in Gravitino to support Alluxio. Do you have any interest to contribute it? > > > > > > Thank you for your response. I’m not trying to contribute a solution in this area, I just want to know if there are any plans within the community to support Alluxio, or how the community views the overlapping functionality between the GVFS virtual file protocol and Alluxio’s file proxy protocol. Additionally, I’d like to know if there are any plans for GVFS to offer a file caching feature in the future, so that users adopting Alluxio could potentially switch to GVFS as an alternative. > > Sorry, as far as I know, the community has no plans to support Alluxio, but I think it would be a good extension point. The current design of Fileset GVFS is very lightweight. The current goal is to manage non-table resources in Gravitino in the form of Fileset and read and write through a unified client. I think it is not a simple task to support file caching in GVFS. Why not consider managing Alluxio resources under Fileset, so as to reuse Alluxio's caching capabilities and let Alluxio shield the differences between various storages? I am considering using Alluxio's file system as a type of fileset management for Gravtino through the custom fileset extension provided by the community, which would allow for the reuse of Alluxio's caching capabilities. I just wanted to consult the community’s perspective on this and see if there are any plans in this area. Also, I haven’t seen the overall roadmap for Gravtino yet.
