Description: 
Currently, Ozone supports bucket snapshot which creates a read-only immutable 
state of the entire bucket for use cases such as backup, replication, 
compliance, etc. This is achieved using the RocksDB checkpoint feature which 
tracks the current SST files at that point.

With the recent rise agentic workloads, there is a need for storage systems to 
implement forking / branching to cater for multi-agents workload. Unlike 
snapshot, forks can be mutated. The idea of forking and branch is similar to 
Git branch / worktrees where a new "branch" is created based on the base 
directory. Multiple agents can fork the same base file system in parallel and 
mutate these forks without affecting each other. These forks should also have 
zero-copy, similar to snapshot (which should only require O(1) time to create). 
Additionally, these forks lifetime can varies (it can be retained for a long 
time or discarded quite quickly).

Example systems
* NeonDB branching: https://neon.com/docs/introduction/branching
* Tigris Object Store: https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/snapshots-and-forks/ 
(please see the related blogs on the implementations of forks).

Ozone can consider supporting this feature. Since more systems implement 
storage compute separation architecture on object storage, the compute / 
caching layer can rely on Ozone as the backing store for agentic workloads 
since Ozone supports snapshot and forking (they don't need to implement 
snapshot and forking or need to write complicated logic to store their forks 
state). Ozone can then position itself as the open-source object store / 
distributed file system for agentic workloads.

This ticket acts as a way to start a discussion in the community on this 
direction. We can start thinking about this (and probably try to start 
prototyping some ideas). This might require a radical change of Ozone Manager 
design (e.g. might need to introduce versioning, reference counting, 
copy-on-write, log subsystems, OM deletions semantic change, etc).

distributed file system for agentic workloads.

This ticket acts as a way to start a discussion in the community on this 
direction. We can start thinking about this (and probably try to start 
prototyping some ideas).

  was:
Currently, Ozone supports bucket snapshot which creates a read-only immutable 
state of the entire bucket for use cases such as backup, replication, 
compliance, etc. These was achieved using the RocksDB checkpoint feature.

However, in the recent rise agentic workloads, there is a need for systems to 
implement forking / branching to cater for multi-agents workload. Unlike 
snapshot, forks can be mutated. The idea of forking and branch is similar to 
Git branch / worktrees where a new "branch" is created based on the base 
directory. Multiple agents can fork the same base file system in parallel and 
mutate these forks without affecting each other. These forks should also have 
zero-copy, similar to snapshot. Additionally, these forks lifetime can varies 
(it can be retained for a long time or discarded quite quickly).

Example systems
* NeonDB branching: https://neon.com/docs/introduction/branching
* Tigris Object Store: https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/snapshots-and-forks/ 
(please see the related blogs on the implementations for the idea).

Ozone can consider supporting this feature. With the rise of the storage 
compute separation architecture on databases (OLAP or OLTP), the compute / 
caching layer can rely on Ozone as the backing store for agentic workloads 
since Ozone supports snapshot and forking (they don't need to implement 
snapshot and forking). Ozone can then position itself as the open-source object 
store / distributed file system for agentic workloads.
