Abstract:
We propose a new point in the design space of versioning and provenance-aware file systems in which the entire operating system, not just the file system, supports such functionality. We leverage deterministic recordand- replay to substitute computation for data. This leads to a new file system design where the log of nondeterministic inputs, not file data, is the fundamental unit of persistent storage. We outline a distributed storage system design based on these principles and describe the challenges we foresee for achieving our vision.
USENIX is committed to Open Access to the research presented at our events. Papers and proceedings are freely available to everyone once the event begins. Any video, audio, and/or slides that are posted after the event are also free and open to everyone. Support USENIX and our commitment to Open Access.
