Sounds interesting. The reduced fanout should greatly reduce the number
of directories that are needed.
A couple of questions.
1. Will the new CacheManager be implemented to support the existing file
layout and hash structure as a base case?
2. What is the expected behavior of current software if it encounters an
image with the new file structure? Clearly it isn't going to work, but
will it fail gracefully? Will this change be coupled with the new
cfg_cache format so that the incompatibility will be handled in the same
way? Or, if #1 is implemented, could there be a switch in the
configuration that allows the old layout to continue to be used until
there is an explicit decision to use the new format?
Thanks.
Tom
