Introduction

The Akubra Project is a new effort to provide a pluggable file storage interface that can be adapted to almost any storage subsystem. Akubra will support both ordinary and transactional storage systems, but makes simplifying assumptions about "Blobs" in order to achieve a high level of interoperability. Akubra is part of the Storage Delegation Project. For a more detailed description of Akubra, see Background and Motivation.

Status

We are currently in the prototyping phase of development. The current work is centered around a simple filesystem implementation (called fs), and a transactional mapping layer (name tbd).
