Re: jclouds and JDK7 NIO.2 FileSystemProvider

2013-08-13 Thread Kevin Krouse
I haven't tried the JDK6-based FileSystemProvider.  I didn't know it
was available, actually.  Is there documentation?

Sure, I can take a look to see what implementing a JDK7 FileProvider
would entail if others are also interested.

 Is there a JDK7 NIO.2 FileSystemProvider adapter over the jcloud blob
 store API?  I'm not very familiar with the issues around blob storage
 so I'm not sure it even makes sense to provide an implementation of
 the FileSystemProvider.

 FWIW, I've only found one FileSystemProvider API over S3 so far:
 https://github.com/martint/s3fs

 What do you find lacking in the JDK6-based FileSystemProvider?  I have
 noticed that it scales poorly with large directories which NIO.2 would
 help address.  jclouds does not offer support for this today, in part
 because we maintain compatibility with JDK6.  However, we could host a
 JDK7-enhanced provider in labs if the community found this useful.
 Would you like to take up this task?
