Dear Daniel and those familiar with Project Zipper,
I am interested in File backend mentioned in the following email, which is part of Project
Zipper.

Daniel, do you have any idea in mind about how it will be implemented?
For example, what kind of file interface (e.g. POSIX, NFS) will RGW use to access the
backend?
I am interested in File backend because it might be useful if RGW could be backed by File
backend such as NFS server instead of RADOS.
I guess RADOS does not work well on some storage devices such as tape, but such devices
can alternatively be accessed via file interface.
In such a case, it might be useful if RGW could access the File backend and treat it as a
different storage class from STANDARD.
Sincerely,
Ken Iizawa
