Hi Becky,

Thanks for considering the request!  We plan to have a multi-petabyte set of 
astronomy images archived in an S3-compatible object store and would like to 
dynamically pull subsets into a compute cluster running a distributed file 
system (preferably OrangeFS) for processing and analysis.  Alluxio provides a 
nice free abstraction layer to link our object store and compute cluster in a 
highly-performant way.

Subject: Re: [Pvfs2-users] Alpine Linux support?

Ben:
Let me bring this up with the other developers and see what the consensus is.
What is your use case for this request?

"What's the big deal" i wondered.   "based on musl libc and busybox"
says the website.


Historically, when we had the occasional "Can you get this working on
FreeBSD" drive-by, we'd suggest it would be a good community-support
project, and then we'd never hear from that person again.  MUSL libc
might be in that same category, but I'll let today's maintainers make
that call.
