72507 - disk cache needs efficient storage (level 2)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect, P1)

Description

[gordon]

Storage of the entry info and metadata needs to be efficient for both access 
time, and storage space required.  This will be fixed with the implementation of 
a flat file system for the entries and metadata.

This will land in the 0.9.1 timeframe.

Comment 3

[gordon]

Changing the summary to reflect that this bug now covers both data and metadata.

Comment 4

[André Dahlqvist]

Is 0.9.1 still realistic?

DISKCACHE2_BRANCH has been checked in.  Only metadata is currently stored in the 
cache block files.  Before data can take advantage of the cache block files, we 
need to implement a stream wrapper class that will be able to determine where 
best to store the incoming stream.

This work is tracked with bug 81724.  Marking this bug FIXED.
