Gopherwood is an embedded persistent caching library with infinite space by leveraging object storage. It provides unified filesystem APIs for local caching files and supports offloading data to Object Store Service transparently when caching size exceeded the local disk volume. A block-based metadata system is designed to support infinite caching space, multi-process accessing, data persistent and caching recovery.
The project is created to help on-premise system easily transform to cloud-oriented system. Using object
store service will help solve the data high availability issues and lower the disk cost by configuring a
minimum local disk quota.
See the github wiki for detailed documentations, developer guides and FAQs.
