SMILA/Documentation/Binary Storage
Overview
Binary Storage Service provides an easy way to store / access binary data documents.
Client components access the Binary Storage Service for persisting binary data (attachments) into the binary storage. The binary data are identified by a unique key / identifier as a String data type.
Binary Storage Configuration
Currently, Binary Storage is able to run and store data into a hierarchical structure (uses deterministically calculation based on the hash id passed by the client component, like the ID passed from the Blackboard Service) and flat structure.
To configure the needed persistence storage structure, simply edit the /configuration/binarystorageconfig.properties file and change the value of 'bss.manager.class' key field to one of the following available possibilities :
- org.eclipse.smila.binarystorage.internal.impl.persistence.filesystem.IOHierarchicalManager
- org.eclipse.smila.binarystorage.internal.impl.persistence.filesystem.IOFlatManager
In the next future there will be other available managers that provides the appropriate implementation for Binary Storage persistence structure.
