Comment on RelStorage 1.3.0b1, Now With Blob Support by Shane Hathaway

Yes, RelStorage could support various blob storage schemes. I would welcome contributors willing to implement new schemes.

I’m rather new to Plone 3, been reading Aspeli’s book, Weitershausen’s book. I don’t understand the nuances of Plone being eggified itself. Can you elaborate what the tangible benefits are? Thanks

Comment on RelStorage 1.3.0b1, Now With Blob Support by Damien Farrell

Yes, that’s what I thought. But how come this is not required in the zeo blob implementation? Clientstorage seems to place whatever blobs are accessed as required on the local file system, but a centralised copy is also kept on the server. This just happens to make more sense for what I am trying to do, where clients cannot access a common NFS share. Is there any reason why relstorage couldn’t support this scheme too?
Sorry if I’m not using the right terminology.

Damien, you should set up an NFS mount to share the blob filesystem.

It seems that blob support in relstorage is not the same as when using clientstorage/zeo? With zeo you define a blob-dir on the server and local file system blob-dir for the clients. That means that any client can always get a copy of the blob files no matter where they are located. They don’t have to access a shared file system. But it seems that relstorage just sends a link to the blob to the relational database.

We recently just added relstorage in our application and it works very nicely without the authentication issues we had with zeo. However our zodb clients are not using shared filesystems, so the above breaks the blob support we had.

Ugh, I don’t really like Arch anymore, Gentoo is the way to go. I also don’t understand why people always want the most “bleeding-edge” software? I don’t update my system so often and I use Gentoo’s stable packages, and everything seems to be working fine. It’s not like Debian which doesn’t come with Open Office 3.

Arch Linux is one of the choice if you want the most bleeding-edge distro in a very fast way. But lack extreme customization like Gentoo has.

Any more info on relstorage + mysql + master/slave replication? We’re interested in setting plone up that way

Thanks for posting, it’s too bad this information hasn’t made it to the Shibboleth IdP wiki

Bit Mountain died on the vine because the church was unwilling to either maintain it or set up any sensible licensing. Sorry.
