Not even close. I don't even see anything I'd call a filesystem mentioned on your web page. I missed FAST this year, and apparently you had a paper about using Hops as a building block for a non-POSIX filesystem - i.e. not a filesystem in my and many others' opinion - but it's not clear whether it has ever even been used in production anywhere let alone become "best known" in that or any other domain. I know you're proud, perhaps you have reason to be, but please.
- jamesblonde 9y agoYes, it's used in production. There's a company commercializing it: www.logicalclocks.com
- agibsonccc 9y agoI'm not convinced a paper with a website and some proof of concepts would be considered the "best". You're throwing around a bunch of components in to a distro calling yourselves everything from "deep learning" to a file system. It's not clear what you guys are even trying to do here.
