I think they are being weird. According to the facebook pdf they linked I think that would fall under chunks, but either way, why would someone advertise a filesystem for 'blob' storage when users don't interact with that? According to the paper 'blobs' are sent to append to files, but that isn't really 'blob storage', it's just giving a different name for an operation that's been done since the 70s - appending to a networked file. No one would say 'this filesystem can store all your file appends' and no one is storing discreet serialized data without a name and once you do that, you have a file. They also seem like they are being vague and patronizing to avoid admitting that their product is not a unique filesystem, but just something to distribute XFS. |
