Hi distributedlog folks, I am new to this community. I am wondering is there anyone tried to build a file system over replicated logs. There are a lot of similarities between a filesystem file and a replicated log. You can use files to build replicated log or use replicated logs to build a filesystem.
I took at the code repo and found there are two files 'AppendOnlyStreamReader' and 'AppendOnlyStreamWriter'. They seem to implement file I/O related API. Did you guys attempt to provide filesystem API over distributedlog? I am wondering if it is possible to build a filesystem over distributedlog. Would this be an interesting topic to this project and the community? I have two reasons for that - I can leverage the good stuffs like parallel replication, low latency for better performance? - DL uses zookeeper for metadata storage. ZooKeeper has pretty nice filesystem-like interface. So it would be a nice fit. - Gerrit
