Takashi Menjo updated NIFI-8219:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
*Please note that this patchset works only on x64 Linux (4.15 or later) for 
now.*

Persistent memory (PMEM) is non-volatile and byte-addressable memory installed 
into DIMM slots. With Filesystem DAX (Direct Access) and PMDK (Persistent 
Memory Development Kit), a program can map on-PMEM files to userspace then read 
and write its data, bypassing page caches. These technologies could bring you 
better I/O performance than traditional disks.

I would propose a patchset that lets FlowFile, Content, and Provenance 
Repositories use PMDK (via JNI) to write their data to their files shown as 
follows:
 * FlowFile Repository: Journals (.journal)
 * Content Repository: Content/Resource Claims
 * Provenance Repository: Provenance logs (.prov) and ToCs (.toc)

Prerequisites on compile: gcc, libpmem-devel (1.5 or later; 1.9 or later 
recommended)

Prerequisites on run: libpmem (1.5 or later; 1.9 or later recommended)
