Thomas Mueller commented on OAK-56:
-----------------------------------
Additional use case:
* Detect unclosed files (add a special wrapper that detects this, so that
tests that would fail in Windows also fail in Mac OS and Linux)
> File system abstraction

> Key: OAK-56
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-56
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core, mk
> Reporter: Thomas Mueller
> Assignee: Thomas Mueller
> Priority: Minor
>
> A file system abstraction allows to add new features (cross cutting concerns) in a modular
way, for example:
> - detection and special behavior of out-of-disk space situation
> - profiling and statistics over JMX
> - re-try on file system problems
> - encryption
> - file system monitoring
> - replication / real-time backup on the file system level (for clustering)
> - caching (improved performance for CRX)
> - allows to easily switch to faster file system APIs (FileChannel, memory mapped files)
> - debugging (for example, logging all file system operations)
> - allows to implement s3 / hadoop / mongodb / ... file systems - not only by us but from
3th party, possibly the end user
> - zip file system (for example to support read-only, compressed repositories)
> - testing: simulating out of disk space and out of memory (ensure the repository doesn't
corrupt in this case)
> - testing: simulate very large files (using an in-memory file system)
> - splitting very large files in 2 gb blocks (FAT and other file systems that don't support
large files)
> - data compression (if needed)
