My company (TopCoder) on behalf of our client (Comcast) would like to make improvements to the range-handling of the ATS cache, basically addressing this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-974. For example, as we envision it, after our development effort, the cache will be able to serve requests out of partial objects and get more parts of a file to satisfy a range request.
Our goal for this project is to have the code that we develop accepted back into the mainline project. We would therefore like to discuss our approach in advance with the appropriate ATS maintainers and, to the extent possible, receive feedback on our architecture/design plans as well as the developed code. Is this possible? If so, what is the best way to accomplish this? Our development team has subscribed to this list. Thanks for any guidance. -Ira --- Ira Heffan ihef...@topcoder.com tel. +1 (860) 734-1474
