ObjectStore

ObjectStore is object storage which uses file-based objects (content and metadata) into local filesystem.

• No need to think how to optimize many file locations on filesystem. Objectstore saves objects using pairtree method and provide flat access to objects. Objects can be grouped by containers. Inside of container there's no object hierarchy.

• Objectstore provide three methods for object access: get(), put(), delete()

• The object identifiers can be several: md5 sum, sha1 sum, url, etc

• The simple representation of Objectstore: objectstore -> container -> file-based object with metadata
