What is a Repository
Provisional definition: A file system with transactional ingest (let's you know that the file was copied properly) with regular backups and abstracted links to actual file stores managed by a metadata system that may also include other metadata information.
Microservices needed by repository developers
- File storage
- Integrity checking
- Metadata linking
- Public access
- Backups
- Transaction based ingest
(Lots of interest in combination of OpenStack SWIFT with solr)
SWIFT [1] provides
- Open source object storage
- Amazon S3, simple semantics REST based?
- clustering reliability
- Large scale production deployments: Rackspace, San Diego Supercomputing Center
