blobs api

This page documents current research about blobs api in soledad.

  • Some of the discussion started here.
  • What we want for now:
    • ability to access blob fd
    • ability to defer to when blob is available
    • possibility of seamless fallback
    • predictability from the application perspective

Current proposal:

  • A "blob document" is a normal document with two special fields in its content: doc.content = {'is_blob': True, 'blob_id': '<id>'}.
  • create_blob(metadata, fd, doc_id=None): returns a blob document.
  • get_blob(blob_id): returns a file descriptor.
