Hello, @hrstoyanov

ActiveFS is a thin abstraction on top of Java's NIO channels. It provides methods to asynchronously work with files using ActiveJ's promises and CSP. As a result, the overhead of ActiveFs is really low.

There are two main implementations:

• LocalActiveFs for processing files on a local filesystem
• ClusterActiveFs for processing files stored on remote partitions

ClusterActiveFs was designed to serve as an optimal storage for processing big data. A common task for big data is working with immutable files. ClusterActiveFs allows you to do just that, as all files stored in a cluster are immutable. This greatly simplifies synchronization and allows us to create a system that is highly effective.
ClusterActiveFs does not have masters or replicas. It adheres to a pure peer-to-peer design which makes scaling and failover quite simple.

There are currently no examples for ClusterActiveFs, but you can look at tests in cluster package to get an idea of how it can be used. We will be sure to update our website with proper examples for ClusterActiveFs as soon as possible.

ActiveFs supports operations via HTTP (HttpActiveFs/ActiveFsServlet) and raw TCP(RemoteActiveFs / ActiveFsServer).
