Storage
This component represents an API gateway for ZDMP storage – aka files from general file systems (eg OS, Hadoop, FTP) and databases such as SQL or NoSQL. As a backbone solution Apache Knox was selected and in addition Apache Commons-VFS as a general library. The Apache Commons-VFS is used to develop special gateways based on ZDMP project needs.
Benefits
Other ZDMP components can access SQL databases, NoSQL databases, file system directly or using API
Users and ZApps developers can use a dedicated API for accessing/creating/deleting files from ZDMP common file systems
For the other ZDMP components, Storage will provide connection strings for direct access to SQL databases and NoSQL databases
Access files from file systems using provided API
Users and ZApps developers can use a dedicated API for accessing/creating/deleting files from ZDMP common file systems.
Access SQL databases directly
For the other ZDMP components, the Storage provides connection strings for direct access to SQL databases.
Access NoSQL databases directly
For the other ZDMP components, the Storage provides connection strings for direct access to NoSQL databases.
Access SQL and NoSQL databases using API
Users and ZApps developers can use dedicated API for accessing and using ZDMP common databases both SQL and NoSQL variants.
