The Case for Dual-access File Systems over Object Storage
Object Storage services such as Amazon S3 provide the users an economical, easy to use, durable way to store vast amount of data with near limitless capacity and RESTful API interface to communicate with object storage systems. Many applications which benefit from the features that object storage services provide need also a traditional filesystem interface (e.g. POSIX) to process the stored data. This paper proposes a solution which solve the problem of the difference between object storage systems and traditional filesystems interfaces with the focus on dual-access to data and efficient filesystem interface.
