Tarsnap has recently started using Kivaloo. Over time I intend to use it far more -- but since Tarsnap is a backup service, I'm starting with the least critical parts first.
- koolba 6y agoIt wasn’t using it till now? What was the equivalent component previously?
- cperciva 6y agoMany things for different purposes. Files in UFS filesystems. Sorted files. Indexed sorted files. In one case, Amazon SimpleDB.
- exikyut 6y agoOut of curiosity, what was the use case/upstream requirement for building Kivaloo in the first place? The Kivaloo page notes that it was designed for Tarsnap, but I'm curious as to the "why" - eg, an eventual-consistency/consensus building block, a simple local metadata service, server-side housekeeping...? (I'm also curious what "{indexed ,}sorted files" means, and how UFS is significant.)
