Types

type Chunk

type Chunk struct {
	Type  string
	Level uint8
	Buf   []byte
}

Chunk is a chunk of data, to be stored in a CAS. A Chunk is assumed to be small enough to fit fully in memory in a single contiguous range of bytes.

func (*Chunk) String

func (c *Chunk) String() string

type Store

type Store interface {
	// Get a chunk from the chunk store.
	//
	// The returned Chunk is considered read-only and must not be
	// modified.
	Get(key cas.Key, type_ string, level uint8) (*Chunk, error)

	// Add a chunk to the chunk store.
	Add(chunk *Chunk) (key cas.Key, err error)
}

Store is a low-level CAS store that stores limited size chunks. It is not meant to store files directly.
