Welcome to Gopherwood

Gopherwood is a C++ library providing embedded persistent caching capacity with infinite space by leveraging object storage. This is a project cooperated by Institute of Computing Technology (Chinese Academy of Sciences) and HashData (A SQL on Cloud start up company).

It provides unified filesystem APIs for local caching files and supports offloading data to Object Store Service transparently when caching size exceeded the local disk volume.

The project is created to help on-premise system easily transform to cloud-oriented system. Using object store service will help solve the data high availability issues and lower the disk cost by configuring a minimum local disk quota.
