---------------------------------------
Never mind about fuse4j, missed that it is LGPL.
> [stargate] FUSE module for mounting exported tablespaces

> Key: HBASE-2387

> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Assignee: Andrew Purtell

> FUSE: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
> Create a FUSE translator that mounts exported tablespaces into the Linux
> filesystem namespace. Should run in either of two modes:
> 1) Map the exported tablespace under the mount point.
> - When using stargate this is a 1:1 map of URL paths to filesystem paths.
> - Via Thrift should have the same mapping but implementation will be more
> involved.
> 2) Emulate a filesystem, like s3fs
> (http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/wiki/FuseOverAmazon)
> - Translate paths under the mount point to row keys for good load
> spreading, {{/a/b/c/file.ext}} becomes {{file.ext/c/b/a}}
> - Consider borrowing from Tom White's Hadoop S3 FS (HADOOP-574), and
> store file data as blocks.
> -- After fetching the inode can stream all blocks, e.g. via a
> Stargate multiget. This would support arbitrary file sizes. Otherwise there
> is a practical limit somewhere around 20-50 MB with default regionserver
> heaps.
> -- So, {{file.ext/c/b/a}} gets the inode. Blocks would be keyed
> using the SHA-1 hash of their contents.
> -- Use multiversioning on the inode to get snapshots for free: A path
> in the filesystem like {{/a/b/c/file.ext;timestamp}} gets file contents on or
> before _timestamp_.
> -- Because new writes produce new blocks with unique hashes, this is
> like a dedup filesystem. Use ICV to maintain use counters on blocks.
> - Stargate multiget and multiput operations can help performance. I don't
> think Thrift has a comparable multi-op capability.
> Support Stargate multiuser mode.
