Is it possible to use GridGain file system with storage other than Hadoop

Question

Is there an way to use the GridGain in-memory file system on top of storage other than the Hadoop file system?

Actually my idea it would to use just like a cache on top of a plain file system or shared NFS.

Answer 1

GridGain chose Hadoop FileSystem API as the secondary file system interface. So, the answer is Yes, as long as you wrap another file system into Hadoop FileSystem interface.

Also, you may wish to look at HDFS NFS Gateway project.
