A set of appropriate hooks (and an example plugin) could be acceptable. We don't typically do this due to the possibly significant required overhead, especially on the mogstored's... There'll be a few things to consider: - Mogilefs protocol doesn't have a handshake, and mogstored's just perlbal. The mogstored is also single-processed. So you might end up with a request_token command or some crazy hook situation. - It'll be important to cache the info on the storage node. - Maybe you just want to use DAV for the mogstored's? Dunno what else. Good luck :) -Dormando
