Steve Loughran commented on SPARK-6479:
---------------------------------------

As part of my ongoing work to take formality to the OSS datacentre stack beyond 
just ZK 
([1|http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/filesystem/index.html],[2|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-registry/src/main/tla/yarnregistry.tla]
 , I'm willing to help define this API in TLA+, as well as derive tests from it 
which can be used as a basis of asserting compliance.

FWIW defining the failure modes —specifically what exceptions are expected on 
problems— tends to be hard; 
concurrency & consistency something you can define but which isn't easy to test 
outside multinode functional load tests.

> Would be great to create APIs for off-heap block stores, rather than doing a 
> bunch of if statements everywhere.
