将文件与对象结合

Towards Marrying Files to Objects

Kunal Lillaney, Vasily Tarasov, David Pease, Randal Burns

摘要:

为了应对非结构化数据的不断增长,供应商已经部署了基于REST风格的Web服务构建的可扩展、弹性和经济高效的基于对象的存储系统。但是,许多应用程序依赖于更丰富的文件系统API和语义,无法从对象存储中获益。这会导致存储蔓延,因为对象存储与文件系统一起部署,并且数据以临时方式跨两个系统进行访问和管理。我们认为,迫切需要透明地合并对象和文件,将数据整合到一个平台中。这样的合并将扩展对象和文件存储的功能,同时保留现有的语义和接口。在这份意见书中,我们研究了统一对象存储和文件系统的可行性,以及存在的各种设计权衡。然后,使用我们自己实现的一个基于对象的,POSIX完整的文件系统,我们实验证明了几个关键的设计考虑。

英文摘要:

To deal with the constant growth of unstructured data, vendors have deployed scalable, resilient, and cost effective object-based storage systems built on RESTful web services. However, many applications rely on richer file-system APIs and semantics, and cannot benefit from object stores. This leads to storage sprawl, as object stores are deployed alongside file systems and data is accessed and managed across both systems in an ad-hoc fashion. We believe there is a critical need for a transparent merger of objects and files, consolidating data into a single platform. Such a merger would extend the capabilities of both object and file stores while preserving existing semantics and interfaces. In this position paper, we examine the viability of unifying object stores and file systems, and the various design tradeoffs that exist. Then, using our own implementation of an object-based, POSIX-complete file system, we experimentally demonstrate several critical design considerations.
