Introduction

The Akubra Project is a new effort to provide a pluggable file storage interface that can be adapted to almost any storage subsystem. Akubra supports both ordinary and transactional storage systems, but makes simplifying assumptions in order to achieve a high level of interoperability between storage systems:

...

  • a Blob is a finite-length bitstream with an id (a URI)
  • a Blob Store is primarily concerned with providing read/write access to blobs.

    • AKUBRA-5 - Fix Javadoc linkage in built artifacts
    • AKUBRA-8 - Update libs for 0.4.0
  • March 1st, 2012 - Akubra 0.3.1 released. This release fixes the following bugs with the akubra-fs implementation:
    • AKUBRA-1 Failure to move files across symlinks, filesystems on some platforms.
    • AKUBRA-3 FSBlob makeParentDirs thread safety issue.
    • AKUBRA-7 FSBlobIdIterator escapes file paths

    • The core Akubra jars are now available in Maven Central
    • All jars are now compiled for Java 6 (Java 5 has reached its End of Service Life)
    • All jars now include OSGi metadata
    • Logging is now done via SLF4J (was commons-logging)
    • The JTA dependency is now to version 1.1 (was previously 1.0.1B)
  • November 27th, 2009 - Akubra 0.2 released.   This release:
    • Uses the latest version of Derby for the akubra-txn implementation
