Actually SeaweedFS does just that, append small objects into larger blocks during write or update, and run garbage collection during compaction.

- dikei 5y agoSeaweedFS sounds very interesting indeed, though I'm a bit concern about the complexity. For example, there are so many Filer metadata backend options that it's difficult for me to pick one. I think the document should have a clearer guideline about best practices when deploying a SeaweedFS cluster for different situations: small cluster, large cluster, H/A cluster etc..
- chrislusf 5y agoThis is a fair complaint. :) For filer metadata, you should just pick the one you are most familiar with. There is a wiki page for production setup. https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/wiki/Production-Setup https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/wiki/Production-Setup
