It's always annoyed me how I can query hundeds of millions of records in a SQL database instantly, but searching metadata from my filesystem is still comparatively slow. Are there any filesystems out there that take a more database-like approach to this (while still appearing and integrating like a traditional filesystem - I'm not after object storage, nor do I want to rely on a decoupled indexing process).
- didgetmaster 3y agoI built a system that I designed to be a file system replacement. It can efficiently manage the metadata for hundreds of millions of files without a separate indexing system that can become out of sync with the actual data. You can attach dozens of metadata tags to each file and query for every file that has a certain tag or other attribute (size, type, datetime stamp, etc). It works a lot like a database in that results are returned almost instantly.
