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.
