I recently adding a CachingDatastoreService class that implements a write-behind cache using task queues (instead of cron), which will be included in the next release. The code is available now in SVN: http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/source/browse/trunk/src/com/newatlanta/appengine/datastore/CachingDatastoreService.java GaeVFS supports two "filesystem"-like APIs, one based on Apache Commons VFS (http://commons.apache.org/vfs/) and another based on the JDK7 NIO2 project (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/nio/). The latter API will also be in the next GaeVFS release, and the code is now in SVN: http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/source/browse/trunk/src/com/newatlanta/appengine/nio/ Vince On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 2:53 PM, Larry Cable <larry.ca...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am wondering about writing a Servlet that would form/multi-part > upload large files and cache them in memcache then use the > cron API to "trickle" persist them into the DS over time ... > > could maybe even get adventurous and put a "filesystem"-like API > over the cache ... > > lemme know if anyone would be interested in this ... if there is > enough interest I'll put something together and open source it. > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
